Must admit...yes, I have tried it and no, its not terrible. Every species I have shot I have at least eaten once. Prairie dogs and buzzards are at the very bottom of my list. By comparison, coyote is excellent. I have no earth shattering recipes to offer, treat it like meat (put it on the grill). If it doesn’t taste good to you that way, have your buddy turn them into tamales. Everything tastes good when it becomes tamales. If you are up for a culinary experience, try skunk. You will be surprised how good skunk is, seriously! Now cleaning it on the other hand, that aint a lot of fun, however if you shoot them properly (no spray) it is only a moderate bother. Best to goad a friend into it, “Hey, if you clean that skunk, I’ll eat it”, seems to work in my experience.
