Coyote on new property.

[ShaunM]

Well I got me some new hunting land to hunt. It's out in Milton, TN and it's about 200 acres. The gentleman who owns it said he is having problems with coyotes. Saturday I scouted the property out looking for good calling areas, so I decided to go out in the heat and see if I could call one in today. Well got this male about 45 or so minutes before dark, was only calling for about 20 minutes when he came running in at 5 yards. One shot with the shotgun using hevi shot dead coyote and one coyote down.

I've never been hunting and I know nothing about it, but that sure does look like fun. And I think coyotes are nasty animals, wouldn't mind killing one.

[Guest jackdm3]

How nasty?

Coyote hunting is very fun, but not when you pull 100 teeny tiny ticks off of yourself LOL.

[Guest jackdm3]

"got DEET?"

[ShaunM]

Yep but still didn't stop the little blood suckers.

[ShaunM]

I must have sat in the seed tick metropolis. It was worth it though got me a nice coyote and one less dog to hound the farmer.

[Jasongar8]

Nice yote. Sounds like a fun trip. Well, besides the ticks.

[ShaunM]

Any day out in the woods calling is a great day for me. Especially if I get one.

[BigK]

Kudos, damn coyotes are aweful

[kb4ns]

Nice lookin' dog!

[Punisher84]

I just couldn't do it. I hate ticks. HATe HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE TICKS! I woke up on a camping trip as a kid with a couple attached to a place a young boy does not want to ever find ticks attached and I've had a fear of them ever sense.

That scene in Congo where Dylan Walsh comes running out screaming at Ernie Hudson for help to get the leech off? Me as a child.

[ShaunM]

I love hunting coyotes so a few ticks is well worth it.

Maybe I could wear waders...or a TYVEK suit and we could spray paint it camo! lol

[DaveS]

Nice Yote!

[Chris]

Nice one! I've had good luck avoiding ticks by treating my clothes w/ permithrin. That combined with generous doses of deet seems to do the trick.

Last time we went to do land nav I had like 30+ of those little parasites on me. Literally.

Also a friend of mine says to eat garlic the day before you go and they will leave you alone. I just wish that I didnt hate having bug spray on me.

That is a nice looking coyote. Congrats. How far of a shot was it?

[Guest strelcevina]

how did you dispose coyotes?

did you just leave it there?

or did you take it home?

or gave it to exotic food Restaurant

I skinned it and gave it to a friend of mine.

About 5 yards.

[BigK]

About 5 yards.

5 yards !? How'd you get that close?

Also, regarding the ticks...when I was young and would haul hay in the summer, my granny would tie a rag soaked in coal oil around each of our ankles and we never got ticks or chiggers on us.

nice yote. I got into a mess of seed ticks last weekend setting up feeders. I had sprayed down well with permanone too. What I didn't do, and should have, was tuck in my shirt and tuck my pants into my boots. That always seems to help. I will be wearing Redhead EnduroSkin during bow season. That really helps keep the suckers at bay.

I put the call about 5 yards out in front of me. He came in straight at me never seen me until I raised the shotgun. I like calling them in as close as possible makes for a better hunt.
