last year i had a coyote sit about 30 yards away from me and i didnt shoot him, i was low on arrows,4 left, and that factored in my decision not to but i probably should have?? mixed emotions! my buddy wants to stuff one for his office and they have eaten alot of cats in my parts!

I have shot 2 coyotes in the past 3 years with my bow while deer hunting. A coyote killed one of my uncles cats 3 years ago and I promised him when I hunt there if I see a coyote I would shoot it for him. I have saw quite a few other coyotes at other places I hunt as well but never shot at any of them, just at my uncles.

I sure would. I' m not sure about NY' s laws, but i think it' s legal to shoot them year round, right? I personally wouldn' t be too worried about the cat population declining, but hey, I' m not a cat person. Plus, if you shot one arrow at a Coyote, and had 3 to spare, you still got enough for a deer. (should only take one shot).

Good luck out there.

i would probaly take one.

Without question. If I have an opportunity, its one less yote

I would love to take one myself but being from south central down the shore I just don' t think I will see any. But if I ever did I would love to.

hey panhunter i like the lab pic i have an 11 yr old choc, he' s a legend! anyways i had 4 arrows for the season and 5 tags so i was conserving w/ good intentions but still has 4 arrows and 4 tags left at the end of the season!

I had two yotes within 30 and 50 yards of me a few weeks ago. It was the morning after I got a doe, and they were probably in the area cleaning up the gut pile.
Anyway, if your not going to mount it, and you surely wouldn' t eat it what else is there to do with it after the kill? There is a good population here where I hunt. I guess if the farmers complain about them, (getting into their chickens, calfs, or pets) I guess I would take one if given the chance.
With a bow I guess it is a trophy mounted or just in a picture.

Ny does have a season on Coyotes - but its open all bow season - and as long as you have a small game tag - they are legal game - and a real bow trophy to boot - I' d take one for sure - I' ve missed two with a bow - I' d have the fur tanned for the cabin wall.

Take one if you can.

To many pets killed around here to let them go,when
they start taking them off your patio its time to take
control,our hunting club has a bumper crop this year
and every one will help balance the plate!![][]
