Muff Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 This morning when I got home from work I went for a drive...saw 2 coyotes went back got the gun and got a shot but it was a long one and he was running....after home for 30 min I looked out and saw another one.....went after it but never got a shot.....Now tonight my oldest girl comes running to me and says there is a coyote at the barn doors....i sneek out with the shotgun....when I turned the corner I had 2 at 25 feet....only one buck shot so I rolled the one and gave the other a very sore a$$.

redkneck Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 That's a lot of yotes for sure. Wild hogs have gotten like that around here, seeing them in fields just about every week or two lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Like Steve with what he says about the kids, they are getting more and more bold and afraid they are getting more and more dangerous. We kill every one of them we can here, but it is not enough. Have had a few years where they seemed like we had them maybe somewhat in check and they just keep coming back. Yotes are open year round here, think we need to get Brett(sureshot) down here to help us out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Saw the tracks of one walk right through my freshly tilled garden the other day, not 50 yards from the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 do i see a realtree family hog hunt in the planning???? Would love to do something like that Steve. Problem with hogs, they are so unpredictable in where they'll be next. Not a territorial animal, just an opportunistic one. They'll be all over one area today, and a mile away the next night. I had one pic of a 200lb boar on trail cam for a few days rooting around, about 2 months ago then he disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 When the furr market dipped here the yote numbers went the opposite direction. It isnt going to get any better until the prices climb again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradog Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Never used to see or hear them growing up in central Minnesota. Now you hear them pretty regular at night. Had one eat into my doe two years ago. Within on hour after shooting her he had eaten into the flank and ribcage. I think in addition to low fur prices having ended a lot of predator control the whole conception of the cute and cuddly critter being taught today has as well. That wonderfull, cuddly, noble critter called the wolf has definately made a comeback due to the foolishness of the earth first types. So has the coyote. Wait till they start eating more our children. Then people will be reminded of why the wolf and his brother the yote were not animals to be loved and protected in the olden days. They were a cunning, vicious, opportunistic predator whose howling and yipping in the night struck fear into the hearts of the pioneers.
