As far as coyotes and other dogs go, I read a book called "Undaunted Courage" by Stephen Ambrose (author of Band of Brothers) about the Lewis and Clark expedition. In their daily log book they reported that when they got low on meat they began eating their dogs. They were very pleased with the taste and actually preferred it over elk meat and would actually trade Indians for more dogs later on specifically to be used for food.

I've always felt that as humans, especially Americans, what we consider to be suitable meat or not is hugely psychological. I agree to a degree that "meat is meat". For instance, a horse is a beautiful animal. We have an emotional attachment to them. They are great tools, "pets", graceful. But for most of us, even thinking of butchering one and eating it sounds barbaric. Yet, emotions aside, genetically a horse, if it were any other animal, would seem to qualify as an excellent meat animal. So why do we cringe when we hear of other cultures who eat horse?

Not sure if this is fair comparison to coyote or not. But my point is until we taste any animal, how do we know if it's good or not. But to answer the question, no, I don't think I'd care to process coyotes and eat them regularly. But I will try anything once.

I keep seeing people comment about the poster who stated he's eaten his fair share of crow. I originally took this to be a joke.

Were you being literal or just throwing some humor in there? Just curious.
