Couzer Report post Posted February 14, 2012 Globe fairgrounds in August I believe. I have only been once, a long time ago. I hear if you go out of state you get more money because more fur buyers show up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rclouse79 Report post Posted February 15, 2012 Maybe you should eat them too... I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other, but I thought the same thing. Once you get on your soapbox about using the animal you should probably go all the way as a matter of principle. Coyote pot pies. . . mmmmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLW Report post Posted February 15, 2012 when I first started callin coyotes I called a couple taxidermist in the back of the g&f regs and actually 1 guy said he would take em off my hands and pay up to 25$ for them if in good shape. he said not to skin em cause most people don't do it the way he likes. said just bring em whole and he would take care of the rest. then I got into bow hunting and haven't gone as much as I used to. I think I like how they look when you skin em out in the sock method. I read they sell at the fur trader show then the buyers sell to china and they make jackets and such outta them. in predator xtreme magazine they talk a lot about the fur trade and the high/low value of various pelts.

scoutm Report post Posted February 15, 2012 From G&F Website: Antelope Overview: If you want to hunt a record-book antelope, this is the place. Antelope densities are actually somewhat low and fluctuate from year-to-year based on climatic conditions and the amount of predation exerted upon the herd by the plentiful numbers of coyotes. Between 85 and 95 percent of all fawns conceived are lost to various mortality factors each year. According to research, most fawn mortality is caused by coyote predation. so, in my book, if you eliminate one you've done all you need to do except for maybe post a picture. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hyperwrx Report post Posted February 18, 2012 While I am an advocate of selling the fur you take each year Arizona coyote pelts are not worth the effort it takes to put the fur up. I shot a 7000' coyote last year and thought the fur looked exceptional. I took the time to skin, flesh, and put the fur up. Took probably about an hour of my time when everything was said and done. That pelt fetched $12 at the Arizona Trappers Association Fur sale. What a waste of time. The fur buyers were passing piles of Montana coyotes, which are 5 times as nice as ours. Don't waste your time and effort. Gray foxes are not much better. I sold 20 last year and averaged $13 a pelt. In my opinion, the only predator in AZ worth the money, time, and effort is a bobcat.

ShutYourLib Report post Posted February 18, 2012 That is kind of what I thought. I couldn't see anyone's paying35.00 for an az yote. I sure don't see someonein Canada paying that . Have you seen their fur compared to ours? I get out calling about two times per week and have only found a couple of yotes that Have been shot, and that is over quite a few years. I call bs on the entire original post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperwrx Report post Posted February 18, 2012 In retrospect I do know of a way of making good money off an AZ coyote. I know a fella who shot, skinned, and put up a few coyotes and carried them around down at one of the gun shows in Phx. He just carried them around as he browsed the booths and had a for sale signed pinned to them. $50/coyote. He said he sold them both within the hour. Not bad. I know Jeff Serdy at AJI Sporting goods in AJ, AZ sells a few each year to senior citizens in the area. He just hangs them on the wall of his shop with a price tag and they get bought up eventually. $45 or so. Guess the snowbirds want them on their wall or something. Regardless, even $50/pelt for an hours work is a tough sell for me when I could be spending the same time working a pelt that could bring in $350/hour.
