Do you have a hunting license and are they in season where you live? You don't sound like much of a hunter if you are afraid to touch a dead animal. If it isn't in season and you don't have a license you will probably be charged with poaching if the authorities find out

I second bury it.
I don't care to handle varmints I shoot also because I believe they are unclean. Take the shovel and dig a hole that the coyote will fit into. For transporting the carcass I like to push it on to a junk tarp, cloth, or gabage bag using the shovel; whatever is big enough to hold the carcass and can be carried to the hole. When to the hole, throw the whole thing in and cover with dirt.
This method has always worked for me and should be suitable for the task. When you call someone, questions could get asked. If your area isn't zoned properly for discharging a firearm, you could face a citation.

Except for rabies (stay away from the mouth), wild animals are surprisedly clean. You may find some fleas on the carcass, but mostly they jump ship very quickly once the animal is dead. Even bot fly larvae leave the body very quickly once they sense body temperature drop off, in the skin it drops very rapidly.
I kept the tail off of one I killed in Nevada in 1991. It was a large male. I recommend burying it, unless you are leaving it well out in the woods where noone is going to be bothered by decay smell.

I have an easy way of moving those critters. Take a large plastic trash bag, turn it inside out. hold the lip of the bag with your left hand, place your right hand down inside the bag till you can reach the bottom, with the right hand inside the bag, grab hold of the back leg of the critter, pull it into the bag and roll the bag down at the same time so it turns right side out, with the critter inside it. No muss, no fuss. Then dig a hole and bury the whole thing. BUT, make sure you wear long pants to avoid fleas, also does not hurt to spray your pants legs with flea spray first.

Take the time to bury it or drag it waaaaay out in the woods. You just killed one predator, you don't need more come any where near you to feed. If you drag it off make sure you are careful not to find his friends.

Gotta bury it or call your municipality to remove it.

Call animal control, or if you can't find it listed in the
phone book, call your local police. You'll have to
report that the animal is dead anyway. Call now,
you shouldn't wait!

If you had a dead human would you call that a filthy piece of garbage? If your going to take somethings life you should at least give it respect. Bury it
