I have to agree with coyote stalker!! all you guys have forgotten about the original post, it says to bring your dog out (make sure it is leashed) was how the original post was written! now, if you wanna say "what about bird, bear, coon, duck dogs" there is a big diffrence these dogs are not leashed and are trained for a specific job! Now there are special yote dogs, but thats a big diffrence between a leashed dog that is a sitting duck and a big dog that is trained and knows how to handle itself in a specific situation! I see to many risks in this kind of hunting, Now you can laugh at my earlier posts but dont give me that crap that i must be joking when i say "what if you miss a shot and the coyote gets at your dog" EVERYONE misses at some point and DUDES I am SURE you have missed way more shots than you will ever admit.. But like stalker said, if it works for you then have a ball. BUT I myself think it is a lazy and irresponsible way to hunt and would never put my springer spaniel into harms way. If i cant shoot coyote by using calls or DEAD bait, well then I guess I just have to get em next time or try a new area. GOOD LUCK to all you guys and have a great new year!!!!!!
