Did You Know You Can Buy “Canned Coyote” In Montana?

Since being in Montana, I've been exposed to quite a bit of things I never got to experience in my Texas upbringing. It's been an absolute adventure since arriving last August and it seems that every time my family and I explore a new area, we learn something new.

One thing in particular caught our eye on a recent adventure and it had me doing a double-take.

Where To Buy "Canned Coyote"?

My family and I recently visited First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park to take in some amazing views. Now, being that it was our first time, we wanted to get the full experience so we explored the visitor center before heading to the top.

As we're going through the visitor center, learning about the history of the area, we walked by the gift shop when something through the window caught my eye...

"Canned Coyote"

My initial thought was "Gross!" before I walked into the shop to see one of the cans for myself and... surprise!

While it's a clever marketing tool, how crazy would it be if people actually bought, sold, (and ate) coyote? Like sure, I get it - it's a stuffed animal for kids but the dark humor of it all is what really got me laughing.

That's one way to get someone to notice your product!

Thankfully, no one is out here canning any coyotes or wolves for us to chow down on but you have to give the stuffed animal company some credit for their creativity. It's almost as creative as the folks who "sell" grizzly bear milk... they're not really selling it... are they?
