RE: Coyotes in hunting area...
I shot a spike last week @ 9 yards, a complete pass thru and watched him run about 40 yards away. As he was staggering away a pack of about 15 coyotes came in from downwind-I guess smelling the blood he was pumping out- and had him dragged down, dead, and munching on him within 2 minutes! I wasn't about to confront them with the pack mentality but watched them fascinated & horrified by the sight of watching them attack that that deer.........but the scariest thing was having to listen to that deer SCREAM while being attacked.
Coyotes are on my hit list now.
