Yote Crossed the Line!

[Munsterf18]

Deer hunting last week, I noticed a coyote come trotting through the woods. We've been thinking we might have a predator problem, the fawn recruitment has been down. It looked like he had a rabbit in his mouth, but when I picked up the binocs I noticed it was not that at all! Not sure where he got it, but it was too much for me to let pass!

You are preaching to the choir sir.
I'll never pass up a safe shot on a Yote'
over here.
I've killed as many on Deer stand than i have
calling and looking for them.

They are problematic, pesky, predatory, punks! (Say that three times quickly)! Kill every one of those pusillanimous predators you can... posthaste!

And now, back to your regularly scheduled diction lesson...

Great job now get some more.

Dead coyotes appear on our neighborhood lawns with alarming frequency. Poor things must have had heart attacks?

We've been thinking we might have a predator problem,

Let me be the first to assure you that you do!

OP, help out us City Slickers...what kind of head is that...sheep?

Small deer/fawn, it looks like to me.

As Chud333 said, never pass up a safe shot on a coyote. We've got a fifty dollar bounty on 'em here in Utah because they've been cutting a big swath in the mule deer herd. Not enough to make a decent living...but enough to keep me in shells. Good job!

2 winters ago I had a ton of deer in my neighborhood. Too dense a residential neighborhood to shoot, but I enjoyed their visits. That same winter a pack of coyotes moved in, could hear them howl every night. They cleaned out all the deer - haven't seen a deer since.

That is very cool there Mule Packer,
50 bucks is good ammo money.
I remember my dad telling me when he was a young-un
the FFA (i believe) paid out a Bounty for Crow heads or feet,
can't remember which. It was only like a dime/quarter or so but my dad and his buddies bought their .22 shells with Bounty money by sitting over freshly planted corn fields.

Yotes killed two of my 8 cats. They can't touch my three tamed feral cats. They have yotedar no way.
I do not cut there claws on my outside cats. I hate yotes. Ill kill the whole pack if I get a chance.

Same problem here. I need a suppressed .22 badly. Perhaps I'll look into trapping.

When I purchased my camp in Rochester,vt my land looked like I91 with deer tracks. Each year less and now none. My land slopes into the bottoms I found the deer hiding there.

I wish I could adapt as well as a coyote.

I caught this one on the move at 200 yards in the head with an AR. Bullet hit him right outside his right eye and exited between his front legs.

I've heard it said, that after the Apocalypse only
2 things will survive.
Coyotes
Cockroaches

My dentist and his hunting partner hunt coyotes year-round. I asked if they get any money for the pelts.....$20.00. I reckon they ain't scarce so he needs to keep killing them to raise the price.

I lost a cat years ago to 'yotes.

I grew up here (south central) Indiana and as a teen,
circa: mid 70's
i could usually shoot 3-4 Groundhogs on a good day.
Now it's rare to spot a Groundhog anywhere.
On the rare occasion i do they get a free pass.
Coyotes got them killed down to nothing. Our Deer
numbers have been falling as well with no reports
of diseases here. They're the ONLY predator here !!
