Pics of a few coyotes I killed this weekend

[Lonnie]

We started hunting coyotes for the year , last weekend
We hunt in a group and push the coyote to posted shooters, we also use dogs to keep them on the move so they don't hang up on fence row and thickets etc.
I been hunting coyotes this way off and on since around 98

I use a Savage 22-250 and a Beneli Nova 3 1/2 inch #4 Buck with a DEAD COYOTE choke tube

I killed 2 yesterday

I have had people ask me for permission to hunt coyotes with dogs and I just will not let them. They cause to many problems and make a lot of people angry. They (the pushers) will park on a county road and turn the dogs loose, while the gunners will park on the next road over and gun the dirty dogs down when they see them. The problem is they trespass on property they dont have permission to be on, their dogs run on people they dont have permission to run on, the idiots cut fences to allow their dogs access. I have had numerous complaints about them. I have even caught them red handed and told them this is the last time, next time the CO will be out. The CO was notified and is aware of the issues. Now I'm not saying the OP is doing this by any means so dont take this out of context, this has just been my experience with dog running coyotes and stupid practices by **** poor hunting ethics. I love to coyote hunt and do it often, but we sit and call to them, talk about tuff hunting.

I have had guys running coyotes with dogs ruin my deer hunting so I know what silinoid44 is talking about. Real estate is so fragmented by numerous property owners that anybody hunting coyotes with dogs can't help but tresspass. My guess is that there is shooting from the road also.
Other than that I will say that the only good coyote is a dead coyote.

To each their own is what I say.

I hunt with a farmer who own and rents thousands of acres.
We only hunt what he own or rents or we have permission to hunt.
We know the laws and follow them.

We have had the CO and county deputy called many times because of *******s who ***** and complain because they don't like us hunting. NOT because we have broken and rules or laws. Matter of fact many of those who have called have been warned by CO and police about false reporting and harassment.

We choose to start hunting after Christmas so we don't bother any of the deer hunters that hunt the property , most of us deer hunt our self so we don't have time to hunt the coyotes.

The dogs do at times push coyotes across into properties we don't have permission . We don't go after them unless we gain permission to catch the dog. If we can't gain permission we wait for them to come to the road.
Many times once we speak with the owners they are more than happy to allow us to hunt and retrieve the dogs.

every year we have people begging us to hunt their property and help with "their coyote problem"

I personally don't know anyone that hunts or has hunted with a dog and cuts a fence , that just plain BS and its a old school myth , even the worst hunting dog can jump , climb or crawl under a fence.

fence cutters in my opinion are lazy deer hunters (can't get their deer across) , ATV riders and mushroom hunters who trespass.


If some one is breaking all the laws you say and keep doing it over and over than why would you wait to call?? Sounds like from what your saying it happened many times.
just make the call and solve your problem , that is unless of course your stretching the story just to sound good because you don't like that style of hunting.



calling is tuff , I've done it many many times , it's not my cup of tea. Too many hours with very little results
Of course I could just trap them , kill them and take pictures of them and say I called them in , There are guys are on the internet that do just that, all the time.

I don't like hunting deer by pushing or still hunting but if others do than that's their buissness

Like I said to each their own

Kill em all! what is the pelt market like now adays?

what's it hurting?! you must not be a farmer, have any land, or care about the wildlife..
these dogs have been nothing but a problem!
EM' ALL!

The guy I know that hunts yotes, gets about 7.50 each for them I think.

 

[Lonnie]

Any answers to this?

fur market for coyotes is very poor this year. Most buyers (local) aren't even buying coyotes. If they do you must skin, flesh and dry them to get them to buy and then you will be lucky to get $10.( more like $5 to $7 or less)

I am skinning , fleshing and drying them to ship to NAFA (North American Fur Auction)

Some guys will have some tanned as well.

I know one guy who has them tanned so he can sale them

 

[Lonnie]

The guy I know that hunts yotes, gets about 7.50 each for them I think.

that's a great price if he isn't skinning them

 

[3point5]

that's a great price if he isn't skinning them

The guy pays him more, because he brings him alot...apparently the man who buys them USUALLY pays 5 or less.

 

[GREEN607]

The one in that first photo.... is one big 'yote.

Good hunting to you!

 

[raggedoutcummins77]

Nice dogs

 

[SmileDocHill]

Wow, that looks like fun. I've always been a hiker, camper, type outdoors-man but other than squirrel hunting a couple times I just haven't gotten into hunting. Being able to use what I consider high power rifles and needing to have pretty good marksmanship (small animal, can be taken at distance) makes this look VERY attractive.
Anyone want to be my coyote hunting mentor and let me tag along?

This makes me laugh

I have lived in this area all my life and hunted my share of coyotes. In about every possible way. Hunting with dogs can be alot of fun. There are very few farmers who farm THOUSANDS of acres. This farmer with tha dogs is not one of them. A great guy and loves to shoot coyotes. I sure if you talk to the local CO in Boone Clinton Hamilton counties they would probably have A differant response about being called out. Dogs on posted ground and they catch the dogs on the road and do not take Coyote if given the shoot??? I sure if there was snow on the ground the last week of November they would have been dogs on the ground hunting. One thing I do agree with no way would this group cut fences for the dogs!

EM' ALL!

I try to kill every yote that I can. Its not the killing that bothers me.
Where I live real estate is pretty much small parcels.
Here is what it's hurting. This is what happened to me last muzzy season. I have this nice little piece of ground that has 8 acres of woods on it. [I killed a 177" on it in 08]I have to be real careful of wind direction when getting to one of my stands or I will blow the deer right out of there.
It's about 9am and I got this hound dog running through the woods barking on a coyote. I shot the coyote but that pretty much ruined the deer hunting for that day. The hound dog was wearing a tracking collar.
I am the only one with permission to access that land. I later found out that the guys that owned the dog couldn't figure out what happened to the coyote. They were told that I shot it.
I hate coyotes and trespassers.
Do you shoot from a vehicle parked on a public road? It seems to be a common practice here.
