    Will coyotes not eat their own?

    We have lots of coyotes on the place we hunt. So far we've killed three without doing any calling. We've dumped them in the "gut pile area" and nothing has touched them. Before we started dumping them there, I had what was left after cleaning a doe cleaned up in one night. Back bone and hide all gone. All that was left was a little bit of white hair. We put coyote carcasses there, along with what was left after cleaning a hog and nothing has touched the pile in three weeks?

    I killed one last year behind my house and I noticed buzzards standing around it but they didn't really eat to much of it and nothing else touched it either.

        Killed one hog on Friday and it was gone Saturday morning. Shot two more and one coyote in the same place and nothing would touch any of it

          Guess we'll find another place to dump the coyotes from now on. I had no clue that not much would touch them.
          I thought hogs would clean it all up but looks like they don't want anything to do with them either!

            The only animal that I am aware that might eat a yote is a wolf. And that is a sketchy "might". They may just kill them for the sake of killing.

              Buzzards eat everything, including coyote's.

                  Coyotes don't eat their own, buzzards won't eat them either.

                  It is considered a Professional Courtesy

                    Didn't won't to tell this rest of this story,little painful,but you forced my hand! Killed a coyote on a lease in Centerville 1 morning driving back to the cabin. FIL was with me, said Buzzards won't touch it, lay there till it rot's, made sense to me. Never seen anything eating a coyote. At the cabin I tell 8 other lease members the story,Tell them the buzzards wont even touch it no 1 disagrees.When we head out for the evening hunt, there ain't 1, but 20 Buzzards eating this coyote! Took ribbing for the next 5 years about how a buzzard won't eat a coyote. So just remember, just cause you ain't never seen it don't mean it ain't gospel, How many time's you seen Jesus Christ? Nuff said!

                      The Coyotes we've shot and pitched in the brush literally laid there for months and just nastied away...Nothing touched them!
                      Let a shot deer lay over night and there wont be nothing left but head and hair! Not sure maggots will eat a coyote!

                        i shot one 3 weeks ago behind the house and the next day there were more buzzards than i have ever seen eating it. it was very impressive to see that many buzzards on 1 small coyote. guess times are tough.

                          I've seen buzzards eating a skunk before, can't imagine there's anything they wouldn't eat.

                              I don't think so.
