Where I will be turkey hunting land owner has had problems with coyotes. He stated he has found 4 carcus torn to pieces. Now the question.
How do we hunt the and remove the coyote with out distrubing the turkeys routine just 4 weeks from opening day?

On my property I shoot coyotes every chance I get, the Yotes will change the Turkeys patterns more then you will!

Turkeys are adaptable enough to work around the predator calling and probably won't see you out there drawing a bow on a coyote anyway. I don't see a problem in my opinion.

DNR was out to proprty this morning. Last statement made kill them all. The suggestion of poisoned bait pile was made. Were is the fun in that so Saturday 4 hunters and 12 coyotes is the match up. DNR counted 12 coyotes we have 10 on film. So let the fun begin!!!!!!!!

If its legal in your state hunting them at night would be a good way to eradicate w/o disturbing the birds. Just get some predator calls and scope lights and enjoy the fun...

Keep me posted on this one. I have to do some this weekend myself and I'll setup using my Double Bull Blind.
Best of luck to you nwochuck.

My wife and myself went out to set up a few blinds a good distance from were we will be turk hunting. My wife got her first kill with a bow. Property owner has some photos will have sunday. And yes my wife is hooked she stated she will be out there saturday morning. Also after the kill glassed for some birds with luck so this may work.

I shot two yotes a month ago. Not even 3 minutes later 13 turkeys walked by me. I even howled them in. So I would say that it wouldn't bother them at all.

So the DNR suggested that you poison them?
I know they are considered a nuisance, but that's pretty crappy!![:'(]

yah i think thats what im going to do this weekend as well.
