Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire When you see a coyote during deer season you?

Called this one in while looking for deer the previous weekend.

He got Trumped.



Same day. Later in the afternoon. He was out catching some sun.

I will shoot them especially if I haven't seen any deer. Bang/flop a coyote in our area and the deer come out to see what happened almost every time. I have no clue as to why.

I'll kill them anytime I see them.

If I have a shot...

Bang! Deer hunt suspended.

I`ve had same experience with deer being curious and showing up shortly after I had downed a coyote.

The noise doesn't seem to bother the deer

Last year, about a half-hour before I shot my deer, I shot a mangy litrle coyote. I probably did him a favor.

I NEVER pass up a shot on a coyote. Deer don't get nearly as frightened by a rifle shot as some folks presume.

He's dusted if I see one. If coyote is in the area then there's rarely deer in the immediate vicinity so I don't feel I'm hurting my hunt by shooting one. I have seen deer a few minutes after killing a coyote, so it doesn't seem to mess up the hunt if I shoot one.

The coyote / deer has happened to me too. Shooting seems to make them nervous but curious. Also last time in Alaska, I dropped a bull moose. Just as I got my hands into the mooses guts, I looked up and about 200 yds away stood a very nice caribou watching me. I rinsed my hands picked up my rifle and then had two big animals to clean and debone. I won't make that mistake again. I know the caribou had to have heard my two shots at the moose

Used to kill everyone I could
Now I just watch them.

Unless I am going to eat an animal or it is trying to Bite me
It gets a pass.

The way I see things anymore I am not going to kill something and just let it lay.
Yea that includes snakes.

By the way I am 56 and have been hunting since I was 10.

Whether deer hunting with rifle or bow, I will take any coyote in sight. But I prefer t call them.

I'll sometimes hesitate if it's ML season, because I hate having to clean those nasty bastards. Muzzleloader, not coyote..

Yep. Plus one.

It commits Seppuku!!

Guess that includes roaches too? How about ants? Does a coyote have a great right to life than a yellow jacket?

Just kill the [bleep].

If I am on a stand deer hunting they are left alone. If I am about to get up and leave anyway I'll shoot them.

I've passed several while on my stand, but if I see them when I'm walking in or out, it's bye bye. From now on, though, I've decided that if I see one at any time and I have my rifle, it's bang time.

I enjoy putting up fur so I only kill en in Nov. and Dec.
The rest of the year they get a pass.
I seldom hunt Deer any more anyway but calling Coyotes is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on IMO.

Coyotes don't do half the chit people say they do but if others want to kill em, leave em lay, and then justify it by thinking they're saving wildlife and stock it's none of my concern. One things for sure, we'll never run out of em.

Flame suit on....fire at will...
