i haven't seen where coyotes get many but the fisher pound on them pretty good they go up trees and get them roosting

kabobs about best I've had them

We have so many coyotes they hardly gobble anymore so not much fun chasing them. Grandson and I were out looking for sheds for 4 hours Sunday and never heard one but saw half a dozen.

only way i ever  enjoyed them at all was cut up in chunks and deep fried ....me personally i'm not going to shoot a  nice bird for some chicken nuggets ....  i have tried them every way under the sun and  been hunting them many years .... i just don't care for them ....give me a pheasant ,i know theres  a lot of expert chefs that can cook them perfect and every mouth waters and screams for more ,God bless you i can't and tired of wasting good birds trying  ......  how ever i really like calling them in and watching a tom strut ...... i hope the rest of you guys do great fill them tags and enjoy dinner ,side note i like eatting trout and most guys think they suck

The dock has been in most of the Spring, the gate is still closed...h2l

I was listening to a meateater podcast about cooking wild turkey. The biggest mistake people made was cooking it whole.

That's nonsense. I've cooked every wild bird I've gotten whole, skin on. Never had dry meat. Never brined one either unless I was doing a smoked bird. Most people over cook them.  It's not a domestic bird from the store, they don't have to be taken to the same internal temp as a domestic bird.
