Now this camera had nothing but, well you guessed it coyotes !! Oh, did have a racoon and a fawn...thought I would share...
I'll tell ya, they still have pretty nice looking coats on them for summertime. I think I'd be putting out a little bait and doing a little 'Yote WHACKING!!!!
We are having the same problem around here in Ohio, IMO the population has increased many times in the past couple years.
I said the same thing to my wife...I might set some next Friday and then pull them Sunday as I can't check em everyday during the week
Main reason I won't set traps is I know too many people who've lost dogs because they got into them. I couldn't bear to find one of my beloved Lab's dead due to a trap, therefore, I'll try to render the same courtesy to other dog owners. Set some roadkill in a spot in an open area near those dogs, you'll find 'em, and have a decent chance at whacking them!!!! I had a carcass out back of my house a few short days before Ms. Coyote came in for a free meal and got a .22 Mag bullet to the head.
Love/hate relationship. Love to see them, love to shoot them, hate what they do to deer/fawns. Necessary? Maybe but I won't pass up a shot on one. :D
Thanks Rob, I suppose that puts me in good company, because I had a guy make fun of me for being willing to blow a hunt by shooting a 'Yote when the opportunity arose....... Truth be known, I think he's just jealous because he's never arrowed one!!!!
