Coyotes never get a pass from me.

I hear them most any evening right before dark, but usually only see maybe one or two per year.

If you live in an orchard we're on the same team. Coyotes and me.

See deer all over all the time. Can't kill enough of them.

Same with squirrels.........knock down 5 peaches and carry away one.

And that is just when you cruise thru.

I'm not of the theory that a good snake is a dead snake. Same goes for varmints.

When they are to many we shoot some.

In the meantime some of the most fun I've spent is watching them mouse.

Just killing every varmint you see doesn't work for me. But YMMV.

Nice


I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

I love coyotes, but I also love shooting them.. Watched one for about 15 min. this evening catching mice.. It was a fun deal.. He got a pass because he was in a herd of cows.. Maybe tomorrow.. I have shot several bucks after shooting or shooting at coyotes..

Pretty much the same with me.I have come to the age that I don't need to kill everything that moves out there

Display the carcass on the fence of a well traveled road for all liberals to see. GW

PS. Figure I am saving the lives of local quail, turkey, and domestic pets. Unfortunately they don't limit their meals to mice and rats. They seem to flourish here even with a shoot on sight policy of most farmers.

I've never understood the hanging of coyotes from a four strand.

Is that a tradition thing? It seemed to be common in Texas but I've never seen it here that I can recall.

I don't get it here either. On our lease the cyanide gunners hang em from mesquite trees. I suspect to show the owner they are actually accomplishing something. But if I was a trapper and you didn't take my word, we wouldn't be working together... no need to hang anything.

Although this weekend they had one hung with a lone star light bottle in his mouth.. it did get a chuckle from me, as stupid as I think hanging is.

Old time Ranchers thought that it deterred other coyotes from crossing into their property.

That's something I did miss - we have way, way too many yotes where I hunt.. in places that don't have yotes i watch them too.

A few years back a pack of yotes tried to drive me off a deer I was gutting in the dark even though I had my truck headlights shinning on the deer in the middle of a corn field.
The place is hard to access without the yotes knowing it - so it's definitely shoot'em when you see them there. If it was closer I may trap, but that isn't an option.

interesting.

Lots of old timers thought culls were young deer and never shoot a doe either. Heck there is still more of that mentality out there than one would think.

I'd have thought if that was the case on yotes, they'd hang one at each crossing around the place, not all in the same place? And especially convenient to be seen by all the humans that drive by?

Local fences are not tall enough to hang liberals from and likely would be frowned on. So we settle for coyotes. GW

I shoot a coyote given the opportunity. I like selling the hides.

Missed one on opening day this past weekend.

Yep....everyone has their own thoughts about killing different critters but it usually boils down to "whatever's good for them" not the wildlife population....

Funny story and a good example of that....several of the big wheat growers around here believe that Coyotes keep the Vole population down so they have big signs up telling you that Coyote hunting/shooting is prohibited. Fine it's their land and they can feel anyway they want right or wrong but one day when I was traveling down a road that bordered one of those fields but it had a big canyon on the other side that wasn't posted I saw a nice prime Coyote in there so I stopped and shot it. While I was retrieving it some lady came roaring up and started shouting at me about shooting "her Coyotes". I said no mam, I shot my Coyote. Yours are over there in that wheat stubble. She said a bunch of other stuff but I won't repeat it. grin

I'm like a kid in a candy store when a coyote makes an appearance.

I simply can't help myself, assuming the shot is safe/legal.

I did not know that.

But since Texas is the only state that I have seen it done, that makes a lot of sense.

We let some Indians go hunting the other day.


Of course they ended up shooting my 'pet' coyote.
(who I've seen all summer/fall)


And then they showed off and hung it over the fence where we would see it.

Really helping us out and all.....



Now there is a stinky ass dead coyote on the top wire, hopefully I don't have to fix fence in that area any time soon.


Tards.
