Is it OK to eat coyotes and foxes?

Question
Dr. Grant I am interested in extending my hunting season by predator hunting. However I was raised that if I kill an animal I eat that animal. So my question is are eating coyote and fox safe, and if so would I prepare them like I do for my deer? Thank you for your time.

Joseph,
It’s certainly OK to consume appropriately prepared coyotes and foxes. I have consumed coyote!
These critters are scavengers and you never know what they’ve been eating. Bobcats are pure carnivores and don’t scaven rotten meat. They have a very good flavor!
It’s certainly OK to prepare them like deer meat and then change the seasonings based on your preferences.
Enjoy creation,
