The buck puts up a fight, but...

Reminds me that it's time to start whacking some coyotes. Saw entirely too many of them this fall, and not enough deer. Whack a 'yote, save a deer.

They are plenty capable of taking down larger animals in groups, and to darn smart for their own good. A neighbor lost 2 newborn fall calves in the last 2 weeks, they would be up and nursing just fine in the morning then gone when he got home from work. After the first 2 disappeared he drove up on a pair of coyotes in the process of getting a 3rd. One coyote was distracting the cow while the other drug the calf off by a back leg. I went over and called one in, killed a big male. Hopefully that will end his trouble. I shot coyote #38 for the year this morning and there are still plenty around.

I'm told pelts are bringing $70 this winter. Wolves have a bounty of $500 nearby, and you can keep the skin so long as they punch the ear. When my final deer tag is filled, I believe I'll get serious about predators.

i got back from the farm last night. We got a nice buck but after watching that I am glad that yesterday I let the air our of 2 coyotes. I will definitely be carry my rifle this winter and will be taking as many coyotes as I can.

Blessings,

Everyone in Oregon that wants more wolves and fewer hunters should have to watch this slideshow. Mother Nature can be very harsh yet many people think that getting shot by a hunter is inhumane.

I have seen wild dogs and coyotes in Georgia kill many deer including full grown bucks. They just tear them to shreds while still alive. I shoot every coyote that I am able to but there are still too many. Several of our neighbors have lost their pet cats here recently to coyotes.
