Coyote Hunting

Re: coyotes hunting

Thats some crazy footage. I'm planning on doin some coyote hunting this year. I kinda want to tan the hides if I get some. It sounds like a lot of fun to hunt them so I figure I'll give it a shot.

Im actually getting my permit this week. They are all over where I live......
 
Re: coyotes hunting

Well, after reading the post here today, my hunting partner and I have come to the conclusion that Coyote hunting is just considered shooting a pest and we will start to actively do it as soon as we can plan it. I'm still not thrilled over killing something just for the sake of killing. It just doesn't feel right. And we don't really think for a second that we can actually make a dent in the population since they can have 12 pups per litter. But who knows? Maybe. Maybe we can help the Deer, Turkeys and Quail in the areas that we actively hunt when the season is open. Heck, they have enough stress on them already with fires, droughts and pigs eating their food.

The plus side is we figure that if you can shoot a coyote at 200 yards or even more, then deer hunting will be a cake walk. Keep our skills sharp with the weapons we would normally use for big game, get out of the house for some well needed expercise and help get rid of a pest. Why not? Amazingly it's one of the few species that California allows electronic game calls. Bobcat is the other. I love hunting and being outdoors. If I can extend my season and hone my skills during off season, and if the great state of liberalism aka California thinks its OK then why not.

Re: coyotes hunting

I've never been to keen on shooting something I had no intention of eating but coyotes I've started to make an exception for. They have become so prolific and troublesome that I no longer feel guilt in controlling their populations.

John, i have done this only once in my lifetime, friday was the second, my first double was shooting fox, two came down a pipeline rightaway, i shot and nailed it with a t/c 22-250 single shot, the other fox turned and looked at the downed one then sat on its hind legs, here i am fumbleing to put the 2nd bullet in,finally got it closed up put rifle across hood of my truck, it never moved untill the 2nd round was fired,it never moved then either it flopped over. i felt as if i couldnt stand on my feet after that, i was shakeing uncontrobly. i had the same shakes again friday night.

Thanks,Hayman
 
Hey all, I forgot to tell everyone I'm going coyote hunting! I'm actually leaving within the hour, and I'll be gone until sunday. So if anyone on MO is going to miss me, I'm sorry, but I won't have internet until I get back and I'm sure ya'll will survive. Maybe I'll come back with some pics of me and some dead things!
 
Good luck. I hope to see some pics of stuff, even if it's just guns. LOL
