Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Anyone here ever tried eating Wolf meat?

Eagles, buzzards and crows will eat coyotes.

Hell I have seen Yotes eating Yotes.

So will coyotes and 'possums. I was very surprised when I happened on a bald eagle eating a coyote that I had shot a few days before.

All this talk about wolves with tapeworms, (cysts), have me a little worried about being near one.
I really have to be starving to bite into one.

Wolf, coyote, lynx, bobcat, wolverine, raven, and a few other wild critters. What I had was OK.

Coyotes will even eat themselves, if they get shot a little too far back with a bullet that opens them up....

Maybe so. Y'all have more experience with dead ki-oties than me. But my son shot a black one during turkey season that came to the call and I didn't want to skin the flea invested varmit. I put him on the side of a loggin road in a fresh clearcut so the buzzards could see him. He laid there till there was nothing but black hair and bone. NOTHING touched him. This was in South Carolina a few years back.

Song dog makes good jerky.

I saw this myself in Wyoming once. I hit one in the hip and he rolled over and chewed it.

I saw a limber Mexican girl do a like thing some years ago in Juarez....

hmmm. yeah thats more interesting than coyotes.

You are my hero. . .

Thanks to all for sharing your experiences. I read up on the tapeworm cysts, kinda spoiled my appetite for considering giving wolf meat a try, if the chance comes up.

I wouldn't eat if out of professional courtesy of one predator to another.

This thread has gone to the dogs...

Philippines, Subic, girl eats banana from herself or drops pieces into your mouth. Good show.

I tasted a couple dogs...

I don't know about wolves, but bear and pork are both pretty reliable sources for trichinosis. Hence the recommendation to cook the meat until all pink is gone.

I imagine any trichinosis in dog meat would be killed in the same manner.

Interestingly, here in Montana black bear meat has a pretty low rate of trichinosis. The state will test your bear meat if you send a golfball-sized chunk of meat to a laboratory (if I recall correctly at Montana State U.). In most hunting units the rate is 10% or less, and in some units 3%. Older bears, of course, have a higher rate.

If bears don't have trichinosis, the meat can be cooked rare like deer or elk.

I'm not real sure, but I suspect that the tamales I use to buy in Dulce, NM from an old Jicarilla Apache lady might have been coyote or dog. Didn't matter much because those are still the best and hottest tamales I that I have ever ate. Her burittos were great too, and she had the cutest 18 year old granddaughter you have ever laid eyes on.
