RE: coyote hunter problems
I read some of member views on coyote hunters with hounds. First ,if you havent done it dont knock it. Another thing is as sportsmen we should all stick together or the wrong people will pick all hunting apart, starting with the guns. Coyote kill 17 per cent of new born fawns. With out the hunter (hound hunters kill the most) fox and coyotes would get out of hand, like they are in southern S. Dak.. Talk to people down there and they will tell you they have no deer or pheasants left there because of coyotes. If you have never hunted hounds ,try it I'll bet you'll like it. Most people have hunted birds with a dog. Hunting coyote with a hound is no different. and then there isthe guy that said all the coyote hound is doing is chasing deer, thats B.S.. That's what he thinks their doing. Some groups of hound hunters kill well over a 100 coyotes a year,do you think you can do that calling them,NO... In Minn. we have a dog shooting fund to take the shooter to court to see that they pays the 1000 dollars for the houndhe shot and the bad name they get for doing so. We spend alot of money on this sport day after day, way more then and other huntingwe do, deer ,birds ,ect.
