sureshot Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 todya after thoasands of hours in the field huntign coyotes I seen it, I seen a single coyote tryign to get a deer! I ahve always said coyotes will not take a deer down that is not sick or weak, I will admit I was wrong, theyre was abotu 50 whitetial in a field, i knwo the coyotes follow the deer lookign for weak so i walked to within abotu 500 yards sunk down and was abotu to call when i spotted a coyote, he then charged the herd deer runnign everywere, he was on one then another and another, I was actually laughing it was so funny couse they were making him run in cirles, then I seen a ball of fur fly lol, a 130" buck kicked him as he turned a corner, the coyote rolled like he was hit with a 300 weatherby, at one time I had him chase a deer by me not more then 200 yards, i was on him but deer in the background, this went on for abotu 15 minutes when I decided this is going to be the easiest coyote i ever called in, I grabbed my fawm bleet and blew it quiet but more harsh to sound like a doe, i was expectign the coyote to charge in, he kept chasing the deer in circles, then he stopped looked in my direction and was gone in a instant, no idea why he did not coem in I know he did not hear, see or smell me, but must of had a feeling! ALl I know it was one of the most exitign times I cam remember out in the field! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Re: coyote vs deer herd That must have been awesome to watch. It must have been one very hungry coyote. I never thought a single yote would try to take down a healthy deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Re: coyote vs deer herd cool, musta been a very hungry cyote. I bet they get a few young fawns, and maybe they take adults in areas where the deer are smaller, but i doubt they take too many healthy adult deer up here. I could be wrong though, we really have very few cyotes where i am because the wolves kill them. That would have been a cool sight to see though.

wtnhunt Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Re: coyote vs deer herd Never seen one chasing any deer around here, but have had pics of does and a coyote in a short period of time on our camera. That would have made an awesome video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Re: coyote vs deer herd Cool time! The last yote I shot was stalking a blacktail doe and twin fawns in January in California. The fawns were decent sized by then, but the yodel dog circled downwind and started the stalk. I was pig hunting at the time so I just watched the events unfold through my scope. The yote chased the deer up the ridge and could never get the upper hand on the deer. It stopped on a little ledge on the hillside and looked around, thats when I took over. That was its last deer chase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Re: coyote vs deer herd They are just waiting for the ACME delivery to arrive. They can't do their enginered plan against the prey without ACME. Wily E. Coyote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Re: coyote vs deer herd Maybe its because the deer are smaller (about 100 - 120 lbs for a doe and 120 - 180 for a buck) or it might be because we have so stinking many coyotes, but our mortality rate from coyotes and mountain lions combined is as much as 20% per year. So says the local biologist. I definitely shoot, or at least shoot at, every one I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Re: coyote vs deer herd I remember watching a hunting show (think it was a Dury brothers?) and 3 yotes combined up and took down a mature buck. Nothing the hunters could do but watch...nature is cruel sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
