Coyote Fajita's - can't wait to try 'em

When I was a kid in college, a few buddy's took me down to "Boy's Town" in Nuevo Laredo. We stopped into a shack and scarfed down some awesome fajitas. (The rest of our adventures down there were a bit on the "blue" side - so I'll skip over them - lol.)

I later found that the were dog fajitas, but still brag about how incredibly delicious they were.

I'm planning on going coyote hunting for the first time later this year and planning on marinading it overnight like I would skirt steak (which once upon a time was considered scrap meat too).

Tasty but easy fajitas marinade:
Old El Paso fajitas marinade (comes in a jar)
Beer - MGD, Beck's or any decent ale
Finely diced onion
1/4 finely diced habanero

Season the meat by massaging in garlic powder, pepper and sea salt

Set in the frig overnight in ziplock bags
turn them over every so often

Fire up the BBQ with some good ole mesquite

I tried it a couple weeks ago. It was edible. I finally shot one that didn't reek like a skunk (most of them do). I did it like this (link below), except I let it marinade for 24 hrs instead of 1hr. Like I said, it was decent, hard to ruin tacos. The meat was pretty tough, especially for backstraps, but didn't taste bad. I have his hams in the freezer.

I'm thinking yote tacos with lots of pico de gallo or habanero salsa, a side of guacamole, and a cold beer to wash it all down. Life's good.

Habenero's , pico, guac, and beer solve a great many problems.

I ate come cougar last week.

My grandmother raised up ten kids through the last part of the Depression by herself, after my grandfather was killed. Trust me when I say she had a recipe for everything. If it walked, crawled, swam or flew, she had a pan it would fit in. Growing up, I learned real quick, if it hit the ground it went in the skillet. It made me a MUCH better person knowing that simply shooting stuff for the sake of shooting it was out of the question. Still to this day, unless there is a REAL issue with some poor critter, I generally go my way, and let them go theirs. She was only around until I was about 9 or so, but the things she believed in, still to this day are etched into my being.

Yes in those few years I was around her, I had quite a bit of questionable tablefare from her kitchen, but in her house you ate what was put in front of you and liked it or you went hungry. She believed that God put everything here for a reason, and she made do with what he gave her and her family to get by on. Didn't seem to put much hampering on them, they all grew up into pretty health folks.

Like has been mentioned, if your hungry you will eat, no matter what it is. Some might be good, some not so good, but most things will fill the void and provide nourishment when nothing else is available. Have I personally eaten a yote, nope not yet, but there are a few things I have, that I would rather not revisit. Some from her kitchen, and some form my own. There are things that just don't stay put after they are swallowed. Personally I would most likely head straight for a platter of grilled yote, over one stalk of boiled okra any day.

"I can skin a 'yote, I can run a trot line. A country boy can survive."

I tried a plate of ki-gogi prepared by my roommate's Korean ol' lady when I was at Fort Hood. It wasn't bad. Don't know what specific flavor it was made from. But from what I've seen yotes are so mangy around here it'd be tough to prep it knowing I was gonna pare-boil it and fry it up in hot peppers when it fell off the bone. I'll probably try it if I ever get one. I've only seen one here in south central NC but I'm buying a call and giving it a go.

Things I have eaten:

deer
bear
alligator
rattler
squirrel
coon
possum
ki-gogi (dog)
rabbit
wild pig
dove
pheasent
just about anything that lives in water and has fins, claws, or tentacles

Sewer rat might taste like pumpkin pie...

Seriously I don't think I'd willingly eat a coyote unless it was a dire survival situation. Predator meat can be pretty gamey.

But hey some people think it's fine wedding fare:

I admire your ethics.

I have had beaver (the dam building kind) and raccoon at game feeds. Usually made as stuffing. Wasn't bad. As with all less than terrific meat, make summer sausage out of them. Even goose and shovelers are great when made into summer sausage.

Goose tastes good without being summer sausage if cooked right.

quite honestly, i will eat or @ least try everything i kill.... yes, i will eat a coyote too and have never had it before.

I've had some pretty weird stuff in my life. anyone tried giant grasshoppers or rhino bettles? pretty good.. haha

I call BS on most of you guys. I cant believe that many people would eat a coyote. By the time you skin one the smell curbs your appetite.

Why the hell would somebody lie about eating coyote??? I will say it took me awhile to actually do it after I decided I was going to. The problem with coyotes is that most of them smell about like your average skunk. People who say things like "oh, I'll eat anything I kill, I would definetely eat a coyote if I shoot one" have probably never skinned a coyote (obviously you have-they reek). They are generally pretty foul animals. The one I took some cuts off of didn't smell like a skunk, otherwise I would have passed like usual. If there's one thing I'm not, it's a picky eater, but coyote toes the line of what I'll eat and not eat. They are in fact made of meat though. The fact that they are dogs makes no difference to me, LOTS of cultures eat dog without reservation. Americans are generally overly picky about what they eat. The problem with coyotes is the smell (and parasites, cook 'em real well).

I have never eaten coyote but i have never shot a coyote. I have zero coyote experience. To me the "anti coyote eaters" on this thread and other threads in other forums sound awful similar to "anti deer eaters" that I are friends and family of mine. Either wont try it cause its gross and wrong or had it once and was horribly prepared so they "know" they hate deer meat and can pick deer meat out a mile away, which I know they cant and and most of them wouldn't know the difference if I gave them a deer cheese burger instead of beef.
