RE: deer hunting, would you shoot a coyote
The last time I shot at one was about 10 years ago and as soon as I dropped the hammer I heard a crash in the other direction and turned to see a nice, outside the ears (can't say for sure how big he was) buck leavin'. Never have shot at one again since that.

I would as long as it wasn't peak rut. I hate the thought of making any noise or leaving scent on the ground (like would be from an arrow you touched). However, I don't want coyotes running free where I hunt. They have all but wiped out the pheasants...puts a damper on turkeys and cause other problems. So I would try to take one out with my bow given the opportunity.

in ohio it is open season on coyotes. i wouldnt shoot one early in the morning but i have shot coyotes early and then half hour later shot deer from the same stand while the dead coyote is laying 30 yrds away.
