David Martin's Paperstone 110

I wonder how it would taste? Actually serious, have any of you ever tried coyote meat?

I've eaten a lot of other smaller stuff and it was o.k., was curious.

I've found almost anything is edible if you make chili out of it.

Might be a little hard to get past the stink.

I like to use a rabbit in distress diaphragm call. I beg them to come eat a .22-250 Rem Sierra BTHP.
 
60yds with a shotgun, wow.:thumbup: Well dont DM. The roadrunner can breathe easy for a while:D
 
That is a very nice song dog DM! Do you skin & tan the ones with a nice coat? Hitting that one with a scatter gun at 60 yards would help keep the coat prime!

Thanks, Ima . Yes, roadrunner can breathe easy but we're too high to see many of those. JB, thanks. I skinned him but only as a knife test . Didn't put it on a stretcher as I don't have a fur bearers license . His coat was in good condition . For over a year I've been using Remington's Wingmaster HD 3" shotshells loaded w/ 1.5oz. of BB's . I like to hunt Sandhill Cranes, Geese and predators with these loads and I've gotten some amazing results with them . About this same time last year I dropped a Coyote at 85yds. w/one shot using these loads ! Plus, I have a witness (priceless) my wife was with me that day hunting Coyotes . We enjoy our rural life and do a lot of stuff together . We're not too much on the Mall or Cinema . Viewing a sunset w/ a cup of coffee is an enjoyable evening to us . DM

Hi Dave,

In CA your hunting licence is all you need to take and keep your Song Dog skins. You can hunt them year round.

Your rural life sounds sweet to me Dave. I run the rat race every day and seldom take the time to enjoy the wonderful picture you painted with your words.

Thanks JB . We can hunt them year round . Its just the taking of the pelts that requires an additional license . It has something to do with selling them as some people make sizeable income with it . Whereas, I'm just protecting mine and my neighbor's livestock and my wifes bunnies . My wife told me recently, honey your not that far from retirement, we better start working on getting along ... John, I hope you can take the time some day soon . DM
 
Dave, were bucksway and i live there are a lot of coyotes part of the year .they get crassy when the cows are caving and
they get real dang close to the house also so
we both keep scater guns handy
he has a nice auto scater gun and i have a basic one
that was my paperstone he had his hands on
i had some issues and he ordered one from Jack
for me to pay for when i could think of knives again
for soime odd reason i thougfht it was a full paper stone handle
not jest scales on a baire head
wow it looks great also! kinda like red croal
i like it and am looking for another one
one to use and this one for the displays
it really is a great version of the 110

As Lewis & Clark arrived in a new native american village some of the residents, they had heard thru the grapevine about these white men and their habits, would get down on all fours and yip and yap and run away from the explorers. They were pretending to be dogs which the intrepids would buy, cook and eat because they like dog. Now dog v coyote... Can't say which makes the better victual.
 
Thanks Dave . I'm glad you got one of these nice knives . I'm sure you are too . I've observed coyotes following a cow for a day or two when she's close to dropping her calf . Then when she lays down to give birth in labor, they dash in grabbing the calf while coming out and devour it before she can move much . So yes, calving season is meal time for them . DM
 
Postfalls, Agreed the HD shotshells are top of the heap . I've tried to eat the legs but they have TOO many tendons . Only the breast is worth eating . Bone it out like a Turkey's, tenderize and fry, bake or dice into a pot of stew w/ potatoes, carrots and celery . Add homemade bread (my wife's is great) and your choice of beverage and you've got a fine meal . It taste like dove breast . I think Quail taste better . But as for winged hunting there is no fowl larger other than the Turkey and he's hunted differently . Not normally shot in a flight pattern and mostly shot on the ground while strutting . The Crane is the apex for a wing shooter . I've even hunted them with a bow ! DM

Me too!
I saw this coyote early last spring in my work truck up the street from my office. They're every where!

David is going to have a barn full of hides at this pace!!
I see a holster sticking out from under your Jacket...take this one with your pistol?

Thanks Flat . With this snow covering they get hungry . I was using my shotgun and he was standing partically obscured by a juniper limb at 35yds. when I touched it off and with the snow being deep he disappeared . I always carry my 22 magnum pistol incase a follow up shot is needed . So, as I was walking over I'm thinking, well I either completely missed or he's laying just over that little rise behind the limb . A pistol is handy on these occasions . It turned out to be the latter . I was in a hurry to do some other things so, I couldn't test another Buck knife . The Alpha Hunter was next in line . There is still lots of snow and its very cold so you never know . DM
