Were they wearing gang colors? Just wonderin' if they were Crips or Bloods.

I would have shot one. Only good coyote is a dead one.

That's different Bob. ;) Anything trapped or cornered is twice as mean.

RE: coyotes
 

Trapped several of them when I was younger in Vermont. If you get close to them while in the trap, they are pretty mean. Still, nothing is meaner than a coon in a trap......mink are pretty mean too.

It's different?? Not really.

The one's I hae witnessed scour in fear from an approaching human.

My uncle got surrounded by coyotes walking in turkey hunting one morning. The one got within 20 yards and when he tried to scare it away it would run back a few yrds and then come back to following him. They didnt want to back down at first but finally they figured out that he wasnt food and ran away. I guess they thought he was a deer or something.

RE: coyotes
 

thanks for all the info yall have posted. next time ill try to stick one or two of em.

RE: coyotes
 

Why would anyone want to shoot a coyote anyway? Are they good to eat?

RE: coyotes
 

UMMMMMMMM, maybe because you like to deer hunt could be one reason...? They kill deer, rabbits, and other small game when they are hungry.. Do you have any idea how many fawns coyotes kill and eat..? No you dont eat coyotes, but I dont eat crows either but do I hunt them... Uh, yah.. hunting for food is one type of hunting, but its definitely not the only type..

RE: coyotes
 

They think turkeys are good to eat, wich is why Ishoot (at) them every chance I get.

RE: coyotes
 

I only kill what I'm going to eat, and I feel that should be a rule. Crow hunting is ridiculous. Coyotes eat mostly rabbits, mice and bugs and stuff. Deer are a very small part of their diet, and shooting a coyote isn't going to make any significant difference to your game hunting. Same holds true with wolves. Yes, they take deer, but if you do the math, they don't take enough to significantly affect deer hunting.
