2023 coyote killing thread

[yotehunt]

Got a huge Alpha female Saturday. Has slowed down for me the last month. @13 now.

It seems to be picking back up here. We had a neighbor's dog hitting the bait pile pretty hard for several days and it drug off the last roadkill carcass so after a chat with the neighbor, the dog must be penned up again because it is not on the cameras and the yotes are back. We also have a very healthy looking fox hitting the pile every night, but we are giving her a pass as hubby has been watching her clean up the mice out there. That thermal scope picks up everything. @Rookie it must have been the humidity...he's got it dialed in now!

Glad to hear that his scope is working. I was pretty sure it was a humidity issue, but I've been in his shoes where I was worried that my expensive scope was going bad.

We have a good looking fox hanging around here as well, it's been a regular all winter.

We have one that frequents our barn and does its part to clean up the mice. Along with a barn owl..

When I had chickens and guineas, fox were not welcome guests. No more poultry here for them to kill so I enjoy seeing them.

Saturday +2. We took 3 overall and a triple hung out, non committed. We left and they ran where the call was. Sigh

Now that basketball is over and regular season is about over, I finally got time to get after them. Now to bug for written permission on non-family owned ground.

+1 =16

We'll season has ended, I was on the struggle bus this year, very little action or cooperation from dogs.

Will continue my hunting on family farms or places with written permission. Hopefully they cooperate.

Helps if you put the magazine in the rifle. Doesn't do much good in your pocket.

Another male

 

[yotehunt]

Such a cold windy night last night. 2 females ded for 17.

Shot 2x weekend prior, but they ran. New load data that needs more work. (32g 204 ruger)

Yall shooting them on your own property or do you guys know people that let's you hunt them?

 

[yetti462]

Hunting family farms or places with written permission. Out of season hunting requires written permission from landowner. My buddy got a ticket for shooting coons on my place out of season. Need to have it in writing to be legal .
