For me it depends on the situation. I would never take one while bowhutning because i would not want to ruin my stand with the blood trail all over the place as well i wouldn't waste an arrow on it. Rifle i have shot some and let others walk. I will not ruin my hunt with a rifle blast over a coyote however if nothing moves at all, or i catch one in the field while i am traveling in the vehicle to my spot he gets the business. Only good coyote is a dead one.

Since our coyote season, believe it or not we have one , coincides with our deer season I'd pop one without hesitation.

It depends, in TX there is no season but if in the rut or early in the hunt no. I had 7 deer about 120 yards away and had a bobcat and a coyote about 50 yards on different sides of me but I turned them down. Not only because I saw deer but because there is a buck on my property whos sheds at 2 1/2 years scored 140 and a perfect 10. Hes 4 now. Think about it.

I have no use for coyotes BUT I have found them very handy to sneak up on WT,s. The deer are ocuppiedwatching the coyote that I have gotten within a good shooting distance. Otherwise if Iam in an area where Iam not hunting I will check my rifle out. Love those 300 and 400 yd shots

Absolutely!! Here there is no closed season on them, and we have no use for them.

Man we wish we had your coyotes as up here the deer is a prime food source for the coyotes. A friend is supposed to e mail me a picture of one he got a couple days ago when he gets a chance. I'll post it here as you would not believe the size of them.
