      Coyotes in the Back Yard

      my points are based on scientific studies done by folks far smarter than either of us. they all state the same thing, indiscriminately shooting coyotes does nothing to control their population and can and does cause them to reproduce in greater numbers in the following years which in turn causes...

      Coyotes in the Back Yard

      im not sure what you mean about a fence doing nothing in the country. i live in the country and havent lost any livestock or pets to coyotes and id chalk that up to good fences and well built coops. if the predators cant get to prey, they dont bother with it. i see coyotes come passed the...

      Coyotes in the Back Yard

      its crazy how many people dont understand this. people think that if you shoot a few coyotes a season, they are decreasing the population for the next year when in reality its most likely the opposite. im all for shooting a coyote if it is a problem animal that is bothering livestock or pets but...

      Coyotes in the Back Yard

      coyotes have been recorded in indiana for a few hundred years and probably been here much longer than that. almost all the studies done on coyote hunting have shown that it often has the opposite affect on small game and deer populations than the shooter thinks and that killing certain coyotes...

      Coyotes in the Back Yard

      nothing to worry about unless you have pets out at night or early morning and even then, most coyotes dont want anything to do with you so if youre out there in the yard with your dog while its doing its business, you are probably alright. i know its not a popular opinion but i love coyotes and...

      Where did all those annoying squirrels go?

      ive seen lots of pineys this year and less fox squirrels. more bobcats in the area than ever before so maybe thats got something to do with it but id think they would hit pineys just as much so who knows?

      Ground venison prep?

      I make a grind pile while I butcher then I divide that pile into one pound vac sealed packages with .20-.25 lbs of diced pork fat added in. Then whenever I need venison for tacos, burgers, sausage, etc I thaw out a package or two and grind it right before use. Saves me time during the butchering...

      Walking to treestand with nightvision?

      i would think walking in with nvg isnt against the law but i wouldnt want to be the guy caught with them while sitting in the stand. honestly, i hated wearing them unless going through the door into someones dark house on a deployment. i always walked with them up and then dropped them down for...

      Sandhill cranes= drunk birds?

      be careful. sandhills have killed dogs. their beaks can pierce dogs sides deep enough to kill. they are so notorious for going for a dogs eyes that guys put goggles on their dogs when they are going to be retrieving cranes.
