Is he trapping on public land or private property? You can shoot coyotes on private property at all times of year with no requirement to salvage the pelt. I don’t see why it’d be different for trapping them on private property. Pelts of beaver, squirrel, badgers and skunk don’t have to be salvaged if trapped on private property so I don’t know why it’d be different for coyotes. If someone wants me to trap furbearers in the summer for damage control the pelts don’t get salvaged because there’s no commercial value in them.
Anyway, I burn the coyotes not worth skinning......mites and mange.
