My beautiful archery coyote.
 

My first archery coyote. He's a beauty too. :happy0157:

Got him while I was standing on the ground, hiding in some cedar saplings. I was wearing a shaggie and blaze orange. He came by quickly, giving me a 17 yard shot.

Smoked him... and I was feeling a bit of bigheadedness until about 1.5 hours later a coyote that actually had fur came by and gave me a 12 yard, standing still shot and I shot over it's back. (I suck :s14:)




Maybe he's actually a 'possum and coyote cross. Look at that tail. ;)



He was actually very heavy. (those scabs must weigh a lot) Mostly, he was a crusty, scabby, stinky mess.
His teeth were all worn down too. Either he had bad dental hygiene or he was an old dog.

Thats a mangy sucker there. Good job dust'n him though:cool2:

That may be the most mangy coyote I've seen in a while, he sure is a good one though. Congrats!! I'm guessing you were calling them?

Ryan.

great shot...man is he scruffy :)

Thanks. I have his head on my stove right now. I'll post a picture when it's done. (I'm cleaning his skull, not making soup) ;)


Actually, I was deer hunting but I saw only the 'yotes. I did hear two deer come in by where the coyote died. They were stomping at it.

I'd love to try calling some in.

Congrats Christine! Yotes are tough with a Bow!

Dan

I can't believe it!

That thing is even uglier than the one I shot a couple years ago!
Mine had mange also, but still had somewhat of a tail. It looked so bad that I left it where it was.

Congrats................I think. :)

My thoughts exactly lol great job getting hur done :s4:

LOL, sure you are, lol.:biggrin: That sure is a nasty looking yote for sure. I think your right, I think its part opossum, lol. WTG and congrats.....:cool2:

Congrats on the yote! one ugly sucker

Nastiest coyote ive evr seen

Wow, looks like one of the super-rats we have in Chicago :s10:
Excellent job!

Congrats i've missed a couple wolves over years but never a shot at a coyote.....wtg

thats a nasty looking coyote. you really blew a hole through him. congrats and nice job

Congrats.....them yotes are tough!

Wow. You saw 2 yotes in 1 sit? Wow. Congrats to you!!

Ryan.

A bit mangy ehh? ...never the less, nice and dead:cool2:

Nice shot.

You better wash good he has the mange and you can catch it from him

Nice shooten.

That is nasty, I don't know if I would have touched that one.

Thanks,
I wore gloves whilst handling it. I also washed everything off after it came in contact with any of the fur/scabs.

I used to do a lot of trapping, and then I took parasitology in college. Mange is actually one of the less scary parasites when it comes to transmission to humans.

Still looks and smells pretty awful tho'.

That is a zombie coyote right there... Ugly as all get out.

Congrats though

Congrats christine!

WOW, your thread title sure got me! I expected this beautiful, long haired, perfect pelt! LOL! Man, that dude is FUGLY!!!

Awesome thing to do, killing a yote with a bow...Congrats

thats the ugliest coyote i have ever seen! Think i would have just left it in the woods

Soup's done!




hmm... what's in there?



..looks tasty!


Mostly finished product. No peroxide yet.





You can see that yote had some serious tooth issues. I'm guessing he was up there in age.

Here's a worn out lower incisor that I didn't glue back in. It was just hanging there in his gums.



:p

UhHHH.... Thanks.... but if you show up today with a tupperware container of soup I'm gonna have to pass on the soup... But Kendal can have my share :biggrin:
I know he's goota smell much better now than he did in person... Jeese just about anything would smell better than that thing did when we were bringing him out.:s11:
He looks Great !!!!

Christine
Maybe you should stick to fish because that is one ugly yote right there!!!! Oh yeh them fish you shoot aren't to cute either are they!!!!!Walt
