That got the blood going heh???You sure grab every opportunity to hunt.Hunting while your wagons or trucks are being filled.Good idea too!!!Lots of distractions out there.I've only seen 1 coyote so far but too far away.Brian my neighbor runs the crap out of them with his running dogs.They catch em quite often.Sometimes I get one with my model 700 .223 remington.They're way too thick here too.
Just got in here.Things were crazy in the stand this morning here.New larger bucks coming around.
I got a friend who used bamboo backed bows in standing corn fields in NW Iowa.He would sit on a T seat with his bow straight up and down in the row by the edge.The back of the bow would look like a corn stalk.Quite a guy.He would set teddy bears out in the woods and shoot squirrels who came to investigate them from the ground too.

Yup sure got the blood going. Gotta admit I was more shooting at a coyote than a spot on a coyote. Not sure it would have made much difference cause it was really hauling a$$. The second one wasn't moving as fast but hard to see.
Yes Ed there's at least four groups of guys I know that hunt them with dogs in the winter. They usually get around 100 each. Then a group that just tracks em down without dogs. Believe it or not they usually get about 40. They are really good hunters and know where the coyotes will usually go. I'm in a small group that mostly just goes after fox or coyotes that we spot. It really helps all of us to have tracking snow. The past two years everyone has gotten about half of normal mostly because of no snow.

Yea that's a slue of dead coyotes.I don't think they hit hem quite that hard around here,but it seems people here trap the living crap out of coon and everything else the critters come back.With these low fur prices these days things can get out of control a little.Seems the mange a lot of times gets these coyotes here if they get too many too especially through the warmer times of year.
Like said the warmer snowless winters have there upsides and downsides.
