[/URL. So I'm on my phone scrolling down this thread and get to this picture and the damned thing vibrated! Nearly dropped it! I like snakes, even rattlers.

Coyotes on a tractor are like taking candy from a baby.

Coyotes on a tractor are like taking candy from a baby. Yep. You can usually sneak up and pop them while they are trying to release the parking brake.

Same with deer
10 point standing at the edge of the thicket. Flicked his tail and kept munching sumac berries. Hung around for about 3 passes around on the bush hog.

Deer have walked up to me while I've running a chainsaw several times. Started taking my 788 carbine years ago anytime I was cutting wood.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

The wildlife doesn't pay much attention to tractors for sure.
The main challenge I have is hitting them while my 15' shredder is running at full power. The vibration can throw me off a bit sometimes.
Tried turning it off, or throttling down, but they can tell when you do that, and get spooky.

I have found that when you stop and throttle back the engine, or cut off the PTO, animals will usually notice and take off. I just stopped, put the shifter in neutral, opened the door, and shot 6 times as fast as I could. The coyote had already gotten nervous, and was moving when I shot him. The tractor was vibrating, but that don't matter to a good shot......lol. I've deer hunted out of equipment that was left out in the field. My little brother was helping a neighbor combine beans on the evening before deer season opened, and they saw a nice buck. He went back the next morning, got in the cab, and killed that deer. I know lots of guys who've gotten a deer that way.

I've damn near picked up deer in the swather, a few times. Had coyote pups bust out on the last pass across a field, a few times, also.

Merge this thread with the one about Eric Holder saying "When they go low, we'll kick them"
would make a good thread....rename it.. When Eric Holder Goes to Kick Us, We'll get our rifle off the Tractor and blow his nuts off....

Not sure, haven't talked to the neighbor that rents the cropland. Most of the corn around here that I've heard about was in the 160-200 bushel range. Some lower, some higher. Mine probably was in the lower end of the range, as it needed a rain on it that it didn't get.
