Yes Dave a land owner or joe blow off the street can shoot coyotes on private property that you have permission on,and throw them in the bush.
where the law differs is when you take them under the authority of a trapping license you cant allow usable fur to go to waste
Same as a hunting license cant just toss a deer because he is not big enough for you a trapper cant throw animals away because the color isnt what they want the animal when taken under the authority of a trapping license can only be tossed if the animal is sick , and if the pelt is damaged beyond being salvagable
you can still be charged if damage is deemed to be caused by negligence on the trappers part
This is my understanding of the law correct me if im wrong
