I typically dump my coyote carcasses in an open cornfield within sight (but way down wind) of the house. For years I've watched buzzards pass over those coyotes without taking a bite. They'll eat a red or gray fox carcass, but won't touch the coyotes. As a matter of fact the only thing I can confirm will feed on a coyote is a possum, and then old if it's been a really bad winter.

I hope those idiots get worms.
I can tell you for a fact that the Ravens and Magpie's down in No.NV will clean a Coyote carcass down to the bone in just a day or two......
Which is fine with me because I have no desire to eat one........ever....
BTW.....that video's been around for years.....it was stupid back then and remains stupid to this day....
Made a big loop one morning coyote hunting. Killed one around 8am, when I looped back by same spot around 2pm, watched a flock of ravens and a lone bald eagle take off where I had shot that coyote. I walked out to see how they had done, that carcass was picked clean, literally, every rib bone, leg etc, picked clean.
To be fair I've got to admit that I like his show. It's one of the few I'll watch. The guy has a passion for hunting and most of the stuff he cooks is incredible.
I believe the burning off of the hair was akin to the way he saw dog prepared in I think Viet Nam.
Had a friend in Arizona that tried frying some coyote backstraps. (RIP Daryl, buddy)
He told me you couldn't stay in the kitchen while it was cooking. It was a young of year female too.
This ^^^^^ I boiled a coyote skull one time for a skull mount after two local taxidermists refused to mount it. The ONLY good thing about boiling the skull was that I did it outside on the side burner of the grill. About half way thru the process, I could barely get close enough to the grill to refill the water in the boil pot due to the wretched odor.
