coyote hunting

[seez52]

I think I've got it figured out. Did a little paper punching this afternoon and I'm guessing I was about 2.5 inches low so with a chest bead I probably put it between his legs. No wonder he high-tailed it out of there. I was using some old 50gr. ammo that had been loaded from way back and it really was not dialed in, although it does group well.

I've been working on a 35gr. load for skunks and such and did a little more on it this afternoon and feel pretty comfortable with it now. Got the scope readjusted so should be on track now. I'd really like to shoot 50 grainers, but haven't been able to get the groups tightened up sufficiently. What do you think about shootin' yotes with a 35 gr. Vmax bullet? It's sort of lightweight, I'm sure it explodes small stuff pretty good, not sure about something as large as a coyote.

Ive seen 10 or more....heard 50 or more! Just waiting on a time to be able to go out!!!

[seez52]

had two over the past month or so unfortunately (for them) take an interest in some of my domestic stock.

Have heard bunches more but have not seen any. Saw two that were not good a dodging cars, it didn't go well.

I work in Franklin. need to get together and exterminate a few coyotes up here, (if I could find somewhere to hunt) I see them almost everyday just south of town.

[ShaunM]

I've been a few times. Have called in 1 and I flat out missed it.

[Guest GunTroll]

The crops are out of the fields up here. As soon as the pumpkin apparel season is out...its on!

All you fellow pred hunters, do take notice of the contest up above in the sticky area. Please join in and encourage others to do so as well.

[ShaunM]

I'm still going regardless. I've got some camo netting I'm going to use. I need to shoot a big fat doe first. Need some meat in the freezer first.

Saw two about 0500 this morning on a field were hunting. They were hauling arse man!

The day I got my foxpro e-caller I called 1 in behind my house. It was a big solid black male, came from nowhere and ran all the way up to the caller. If i hadn't put it up in a bush I think he would have grabbed it and ran off. I didn't have my rifle with me, I was just messing around with the caller. Surprised me how quick he came in.

There's a coyote pack that hangs around the farms that surround my house. I was gonna start shooting them but my wife suggested using them as a test group for calls. I think that's a good idea (for now)

That idea will get less effective each time you try it. You're educating them and making it all the harder for people who need to kill them to do so.

Anyone in the Knoxville / Oak Ridge area successfully hunting yotes ? I would love to hook up and figure how to do it right for once.

You sir are correct.

[broknbonz]

BungieCord, I'm not going around the state just calling in coyotes for fun, just the small pack that hangs around my house. I do plan to shoot as many as possible (elsewhere)

[Guest GunTroll]

Are you in the burbs or something? If so I get you. If not kill 'em on sight!

Coyotes Blamed For Pet Deaths: TWRA Says Coyote Population Stable - The Daily Times

Judging from the feral cats, squirrels, and bunnies popping up in my yard this year, we got no yote problem in Clinton right now.

[ShaunM]

Yeah lets just ignore the laws.......They have no clue.

Sounds like you E-TN fellas need to get busy! For the little dogs and old ladies cats and all .

[Sidewinder]

Anybody nail a yote while deer hunting this season yet? If so, we'd like to hear about it, and see some pics.

[durtyzulu]

I haven't shot a coyote in middle TN yet. But I've been slacking!

[red dirt]

I saw one in broad daylight, 10 AM on Jackson Blvd in Belle Meade. He was looking for a lunch of little dog.

[Guest GunTroll]

Has no one killed one yet deer hunting? I find it hard to beleive that.

If you do or did, remember we are doing a contest up above. See rules.

[ShaunM]

I just need to go hunting. Haven't really had time.

[Lumber_Jack]

So to save me from reading this entire thread...what do y'all do with them once you shoot them, besides pelts which I know aren't worth much.

[ShaunM]

I usually give them away but I'm going to start doing some taxidermy stuff so they will be projects. Going to start tanning and do shoulder to full body mounts. I've been purchasing taxidermy tools and equipment a little at a time. All I can do is try.
