You will earn your money skinning a coyote. They have a very tight hide, and it takes a lot of sharp knife work to remove a pelt from a coyote. Looking at the carcass above, I would think it will produce a very good pelt.
Coyotes are very smart and are learning how to live in urban areas. A Dallas man heard a ruckus on his porch and opened the door to find a coyote in the process of killing his small dog. It was on our local news this week. He intervened and saved his dog, but many people are losing cats and dogs to coyotes in our Texas, cities.
On my ranch, there seems to be a balance between coyotes and small animals of prey, mainly cotton tail rabbits and rats. I'm OK with coyotes, but they are a nuisance to many people. They are going to eat something.
