If anyone kills a coyote and is willing, please skin 'em and send me the frozen skin. I'll tan 'em and use 'em for ruffs on anorak hoods.

 

I had not heard any all summer…just heard them howling again over in the field we hunted late that night….

 

Good Job on the 'yote!!!!!!!!

A fella told me to hang them up on a perimeter fence post and then piss on it.
Something about sending a message to the others.

 

Just did a skull mount for a friend of mine. I had never killed one, so had never got to examine close up. Was a small one, probably about 25 lbs. What impressed me was the way the teeth meshed, even compared with a dog. Perfect little scissor shears.

 

I watched this one sneak out of the woodline and dig something up...I guess it'd previously buried a snack and came back for it. It was so intent on it's morning meal that it didn't hear the 168gr Ballistic Tip sneaking up on it. Should have head-shot it....ruined the pelt.

 

Returned home Saturday night to find one standing in the middle of the intersection at the end of our cul-de-sac. It was about 50lbs and stood there not moving until I flashed my lights at it. They are getting thicker and bolder around here. I have a couple acres of woods and a couple treestands up for bowhunting. If I get the opportunity I have no problem arrowing one....

 

Shot this one yesterday morning

 

I want to go coyote hunting so bad.

 

Get up with @Silver_Bullet. He knows about a tower location or something similar for shooting them if I remember correctly.

 

So do you eat them or just kill them? Seriously I had not heard of any one eating them wasn't sure is they were any good.

 

I've not heard of anyone eating them

 

Wong Fu's 180 item buffet may be interested in adding these to the choices........
Along with the Filet of Chihuahua..........the Sirloin of Shepherd, Labrador Loin, and Braised Beagle.

Some dumb kitty.

Hmmm... I wonder if there is a market for Coyote vests?

It would take about two hides... lined with cotton... simple one-toggle closure.

 

I made the Charlotte to Charleston drive yesterday (I77 to I26). I saw a couple of coyotes on the side of the road squished, but I saw a rather shocking number of deer. SC needs to up the limit considerably if the dead deer on the side of the road are any indication.

Anyone with a coyote problem, I would be glad to help with eradication.

 

I've got a friend with a farm on the NC/VA line he just inherited. He's just getting into shooting at this late date in life. I asked if he had any coyote problems on the farm. He said the guy who keeps cows there found a couple of cow carcasses. Not sure if 'yotes pull down game of that size but I'm trying to get the idea in his head we need to take some shots at those varmints.

 

I watched this one sneak out of the woodline and dig something up...I guess it'd previously buried a snack and came back for it. It was so intent on it's morning meal that it didn't hear the 168gr Ballistic Tip sneaking up on it. Should have head-shot it....ruined the pelt.

Please tell me about how you took that picture. I'd like to be able to do that.

 

Imagine the camera is an iPhone and the spotting scope is a rifle scope. I had the front of my .308 rested on the stand, the camera in my left hand, and my firing hand still on the rifle pistol grip/safety/trigger area so I could have shot him using the camera image as my scope sight picture.

Make sure you hold the phone at the correct angle so the eye relief/sight picture is aligned and fire away (with the camera). Depending on the scope, sometimes the camera likes to focus on the rubber/plastic around the lens versus looking through the scope itself. I have some from my ACOG that are WAAAAY more clear.

Advanced Armament Corp did a hog hunt for a kid a while back who had some severe vision problems, and they had a scope rigged up with an iPhone so they worked in sync with one another, using a bracket and some special software. The shooter just had to look at the phone display versus putting an eye up to the scope. Basically made it possible for the kid to hunt using technology when he had no option in the past due to vision impairment. I think the video is on youtube.

Here's the video

 

Let's give it another try!

 

I heard some last weekend in the mountains not all that far from my treestand just after dark. Never heard them that close before and of course it's bow season so I wasn't exactly outfitted correctly for coyote's. Won't be rifle season for a few more weeks but then if I see one I'll try to kill it. I've seen two chasing deer while deer hunting but have yet to fire a shot. They're quite fast while in pursuit.

 

imho if you kill it you should eat it . only exception is humans - they are nasty creatures .

 

If the S ever HTF, I'm planning to eat just one neighbor. I figure the rest will leave me alone within about one square mile after the word gets out.

 

Post your address and the next one I kill I'll mail to you along my special recipe of herbs and spices. They're finger licking good (tastes like chicken). They're kind of heavy so don't expect next day air.

 

Around this time last October, the sirens started blaring at a nearby fire station. That got the yotes howling out back behind our house. Looked out the window and saw 6 or 7 Coyotes on the edge of our Duke Energy easement and a couple trotted up to our driveway. I opened the deck door and they took off. Last week at about 11:00 pm, a landing airliner overflew the house and got what sounded like 8 - 10 of them howling out on our driveway. I ran outside from the basement with my Browning A5 but as soon as I turned the corner of the house I could hear them running and yipping/howling down the hill in the woods. They were already about 100 yards away by the time I got out there.

 

...I opened the deck door and they took off.

Ya gotta set up a couple of places so's ya can get in position without them smokin' ya.

 

When I was stationed in TN. I hunted in Land Between the lakes and had several come on me while hunting using distressed bleat calls for deer. Guess I could have helped out and eliminated a few back then. I always been one of those eat what you kill types and did not know how bad the where on other populations.

 

I been hearing them around the house but I have seen any yet. May have to see if I can kill a few.

 

Kill them all .... with fire if need be.

 

Not yet, but they are large and plentiful in the woods behind my house! It's only a matter of time! I've already forewarned the neighbors if they hear a crack in the night! They are quite evasive, but I have 100's of pics on my trailcam 5 ft outside my fence, and about 30 yards from a clear, unobstructed vantage point off my deck. It's strange how it's so clear, no tree limbs or anything to where I see them

 

Dad got one tonight. It's basically a deer dog without a collar.
