there's a dead coyote in our back yard.
we called the sheriff who told us to wrap it up and throw it in the garbage. i can't do that. i find it disrespectful. we called "dead animal pickup" and were told they can't come on the property even with our permission.
hubby just covered him.
any suggestions?

1. Bury it?
Dig a hole and drop it in.
Or chain the head to a tree until the birds pick it over, and have a coyote skull.

2. this might sound terrible but can you move it to the side of the road? then maybe the morons at "dead animal pickup" can actually come get it?

It's dead. It has ceased to exist. It doesn't care about respect.
If you wait it will start to stink and then you'll have a nightmare on your hands.

38. Douse it with kerosene
Throw some wood around it and cremate Wile E Coyote. Put the ashes in your compost heap. It's dead - it doesn't need a burial anymore than I do - I'll be cremated.

7. Never mind disrespect. I'd worry about touching it unless you know for sure what it died from.
The people you called should have warned you not to touch it. At the least, use a plastic garbage bag to pick it up, and then tie the bag.

18. Absolutely. A guy near where I lived in South Dakota touched a dead bobcat, got the plague and died within a day.

12. Same here
You'll want to wear gloves and get the animal into a trash bag. I'd use a shovel or something to ease it in, touch it as little as possible. Secure the bag and let your conscience be your guide as to where his final resting place will be.
If you live next to a wilderness area, you can leave the body for the scavengers, but realize that some people poison coyotes and you might not be doing any of them a favor.

82. i love this thread
It has everything: coyote recipes, cremation rites, western living, watershed warriors, fears of pestilence and disease and various people freely suggesting burning, burying, eating and displaying a dead animal.
Bravissimo.

Good God, they need help with everything. Pathetic.

Option 1: "Hi, dead animal pickup? Funny thing, that dead coyote apparently wasn't dead. He dragged himself out onto the road, and then died for real."
Option 2: "Hi, dead animal pickup? Yeah, we dragged that one into the creek that the neighbors draw their water from, no problem. But funny thing, now there's ANOTHER dead coyote out on the road..."

Coyote's final thoughts: Oh Lord, I'm dyin! Damn that Roadrunner and his evil way of turning my ACME contraptions against me! Please don't let me lay out and rot, be picked over by vermin, and possibly pollute the environment! Oh, here's a nice human's back yard. I'm sure they will dispose of me in a proper and respectful fashion....

From "101 Uses For A Dead Coyote"
#37. Place in a moonbat's backyard for hours of amusement as they ponder respectful burial rites, ecologically sound corpse disposal, the meaning of the coyote's life, and how the Republicans killed it due to inadequate health care.

No one can be stupid enough to believe that. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Here is what you do...
Rabies would be the main worry and they say that dies within a few hours of the host but to be on the safe side dig a deep hole and with gloves or a fork place the carcass in the hole.
Coat with powdered bleach and cover with anything that was in contact.
The end.

You can catch plague from dead animals. I thought I had heard of a recent case of a bobcat, too, but a quick google search only turned up this older story from the New York Slimes
Hunter Gets Plague and Dies
Published: Monday, November 9, 1992
A hunter who became ill after skinning a plague-infected bobcat died Saturday, the authorities said. The hunter, Mike Dahl, 34 years old, of Sheridan, Wyo., was exposed to the disease on Oct. 31, when he skinned a bobcat shot on the Crow Indian Reservation near Wyoming. Plague is an often fatal, but usually treatable disease caused by bacterial infection. Ten other cases have been reported this year; one of the victims died.

Without a doubt it is possible as are many things but to die within a day?
No.
-

No.
Remember, we're talking about DUmmies, so he was probably talking about a fellow DUmmie that had intercourse with the dead animal, and then ate it. :uhsure:

Color me impressed!
The DUmbass got it right all on their own.
To quote Clint Eastwood when asked if they should bury a bushwhacker.
Neh Buzzards gotta eat too.

It's dead. It has ceased to exist. It doesn't care about respect.
Live coyotes, on the other hand, are all about respect.

For some reason, this reminded me of the "Dead Parrot" sketch in Monty Python's "And Now For Something Completely Different"....
"Maybe the coyote isn't dead, maybe he's pining for the woods."
"He's not pining, he's PAST ON!"

Did they even think about where the ravine goes? what happens to the water it carries away when it rains? They might have just started the Wolf Flu epidemic

The only good coyote is a dead coyote! We trap 'em! They kill pets, calves, lambs, etc around here......
I'd just douse it with diesel, gas tends to 'splode if you're not careful, burn it to kill off any lingering nasties, then bury the damn thing. Problem solved.
Jeez, DUmmies is so stupid!!!!111111

As I posted earlier this week, sometimes they also kill teenagers, too. The thread is in GD.
While deer hunting yesterday, I saw where a coyote had defecated right on a road that we use, up at the deer camp I belong to. The scat looked as if the thing had stomach/intestinal bleeding, too . . .

I'm guessing these are the same DUmmies who hold hands around a dead tree and mourn...

Yes, DUmmies--that's funny.

What part of the country are we talkin'? Hell, they're havin' to compete with the grand experiment of wolves around here. As a matter of fact, we're huntin' wolves here this year. 'Course we've had a bounty on coyotes for as long as I can remember, and they're still multiplying in numbers. Nasty frikkin' critters!

The teenager who got attacked, and died the next day of her injuries, was north of Toronto, I think. Canadian up-and-coming folk singer.
As for where I deer hunt, it's five miles west of Lake Champlain. We're thinking that wolves are starting to come into the area. One of the guys in the camp found moose droppings 1/4 mile from the camp, last weekend. It wouldn't surprise me to see mountain lion pawprints there, soon.

As I have seen in the south the skulls of goats and deer hanging from the sides of cabins,i HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH HANGING A CAYOTE SKULL BESIDE THEM
Actually I have in my home among the trinkets I brought back from Ten. an unusual skull that has a meaning to me.
Cathey was the sweetest cow ever born, like a dog she followed me everywhere. Once she became to large she was put with the heard but when she saw me she came a running. She was very affectionate but her size was a problem, she could have trampled me to death, I soon had to stand one the other side of the fence for my safety.
Cathey became pregnant, and changed dispositions, she stayed away from the heard at the back of the pack ,
I came home from work one day to find my ex-father-in law on his tractor dragging Cathey into the woods. She had died giving birth to twins.
2 years later on a hike through the woods I found Cathey, all that was left was her skull and horns. I brought the skull home and soaked it in bleach for a week, then for some unknown reason painted the skull up Indian fashion.
She after all these years still graces one wall of my home, why, well one must ask why humans do anything.
