      coyote calls

      I suggest starting out with hand calls that you already have, learn the basics of setting up and getting them killed before you dump too much money into equipment. You may find there's a lot of work involved in getting coyotes to show up for the shot. There are a lot of electronic calls...

      Where to find coyote trap?

      Yote Hunter, slow down. The "copy/paste" I mentioned are my comments of my personal experiences made in response to PM's, emails and facebook messages I've received about this thread in recent days. Most folks can tell who knows their stuff here and who is just thrashing around to save their...

      Where to find coyote trap?

      :popcorn: Wouldn't worry too much, it'd be extremely rare for coyotes to engage a dog that size, much less outside of denning season where nothing is to be gained. Out of curiosity, I'd set trail cameras to see what's going on at night. Coyotes might be eating dog food right out of...

      Where to find coyote trap?

      Lord help us in a time of need. Someone please pin this thread to the top so that it may be a warning to others who enter coyote discussions on this forum! So pappy was stacking them up back in the 60's? Early 70's? Yeah, those were the good ole days... the days when a dead coyote made the...

      Where to find coyote trap?

      This is why internet discussion forums are borderline useless for people that actually want to learn nowadays. Guy asks question, guy gets good answers & resources.... then... inevitably... guy gets bombarded with exaggerated BS and chest pounding 3rd person stories... guy leaves confused...

      ** OFFICIAL 2014 DAILY DEER HUNT CHAT**

      Well my hours in the stand versus deer killed meter is going to be a record setter. I punched my buck tag yesterday morning, sat another hour, and got down with 6 deer killed in 15 hours of combined hunting. 55 deer spotted, only antlered deer were the 3 bucks from yesterday when I switched...

      Coyote hunting... .223, .243, or .30-30?

      His depredation problem is probably hawks, owls, coons, dogs, cats, red fox, grey fox, mink, bobcat or MAYBE, just MAYBE coyotes. Coyotes get a lot of undeserved blame for predation on domestic poultry. Truth be told, his low likelihood of success in killing coyotes is probably going to help...

      The 2014 Get Dirt Under Your Fingernails Thread

      Ended up with about 600 jars put up this year, everything did really well, still haven't gotten it all tucked away in storage. Between dehydration, freezing and cellar storage I'd say we put away more food this year than ever before. I killed 5 deer in 3 hunts early this month so that padded...

      ** OFFICIAL 2014 DAILY DEER HUNT CHAT**

      Unexpected change of plans yesterday afternoon, had a couple hours of downtime and the moon phase was agreeable. First doe & twins showed up and came in behind me, 18 yard chip-shot, but now I know what that sense of befuddlement feels like when a shot goes astray! Hunting a thicket, I was...

      ** OFFICIAL 2014 DAILY DEER HUNT CHAT**

      Hunted a couple hours Saturday morning, Saturday evening & Sunday morning. Saw 35-40 deer, killed 3 at 16-28-31 yards. Hope to kill a couple more Saturday before heading West to hunt coyotes for a while, coyote season will be in here by the time I return so deer will take a back seat.

      2014 Trail Cam Pics...

      BossHoss, those look identical to the pictures I'm getting a few mile from Patoka Lake. A couple years ago I kept track of my time in the stand over there, and number of deer spotted, and it broke down to something like a deer for every 9 minutes. I killed 6 with a bow there. I expect higher...

      Coyotes in the corn

      Coyotes do eat corn, and various other plant materials, especially when the milk is up and it's full of moisture. My beagle ate 4-5 years yesterday afternoon while I was clearing off my finished corn patch.

      FREE pair of Thorlo Socks !!!

      Only took about 4 days to arrive. It's been a little too balmy outside to throw those big heavy socks on and take them for a spin... maybe it'll cool down this weekend and I'll try them out.

      Coyote Hunting - Average Shot Distance

      My initial reaction is to assume you're calling coyotes but I can't really keep track of how people are defining "coyote hunting" online anymore. Some are running dogs with a pistol on their hip, many are driving around with a rifle hanging out the window. I only call coyotes. I've wiped...

      Animal Identification (Bobcat/Mountain Lion)

      IMHO, the cat coming toward the camera weighs 19-21 pounds in the photo. Very healthy animal. Woody, last I heard the DNR didn't care to hear anymore calls about bobcats unless they were dead. If it would expedite a limited season, I'd be willing to wear their hotline out for a while...
