coyotes and deer

<< < (2/5) > >>

Piddler:
The hind quarters were both damaged (not completely eaten) to the point that I would not eat it, so pretty bad. They started at the soft in between the hind quarters as you can guess. One front shoulder was also damaged pretty bad. It was close to where the arrow went through and they started there. Other front shoulder was good because they didn't have time. Doesn't take a pack long to do serious damage.
Lost a buck a few years ago. Found it the next morning, nothing left but bones and horns.

sleek:
This us all that was left in 30 minutes. Must have been quite a few of them on her

WhistlingBadger:
Wow, that's awful.  Where are you, Sleek?  We have coyotes around here but they aren't that bold or that dense.  You know, a good coyote fur is worth some coin, they're a lot of fun to hunt, and I doubt anyone would blame you for having  a bit of a vendetta...

I'm in north eastern Oklahoma. When sunsets, they light up the air like stars in the sky. To the point that I get nervous walking back after dark, and keep my pistol on me. I'd be interested in learning about yote skins and how to sell them. I'd take no issue with laying them out at this point.

WhistlingBadger:
I'm not an avid dog hunter, but I have friends who are.  Last winter a good western coyote skin would bring in around $70-80.  I've heard that eastern and southern coyotes are worth a lot less (not sure why) but ten bucks is ten bucks, right?  The guys I know that hunt have a fur dealer they sell them to locally.  Not sure if he's a local or somebody that comes through.  I bet if you asked around at sporting goods stores, tanneries, and such you could find someone to take the skins off your hands.  Some people even say they're good to eat, but personally I've never been hungry enough to try.

I have nothing against coyotes myself--I rather admire them actually--but they are pretty fun to hunt, and too much of a good thing is a bad thing.  Sounds like your area needs some predator control.
