I don't see any coyotes where I hunt. Plenty of sign, but no sight of them in the day.

Plenty of wolf sign too.

I'm in the wolf zone of the state so I can't shoot a coyote legally if I see one in the gun deer season.

If I happen on a coyote any other time I'd take the shot. I'm considering getting a rabbit call and doing some coyote hunting next year. Their numbers seem to be way up this year where I hunt. Way more yipping at night, and a lot more sign than I've ever seen in the past. Time to thin them down.

Make 'em leak until they stop moving.

I shoot them. Or at least shoot at them. I shot one with my .30-06 while deer hunting about 10 years ago. Just this evening I missed one with the blackpowder gun while deer hunting (see my post in the blackpowder forum). If I was on a big buck I would pass them up, but since I am more of a meat hunter I don't mind taking shots at coyotes when they show up.

If the rancher found out that I DIDN'T shoot a coyote that I had a chance at, I probably would lose my welcome. We're instructed to take every 'yote & hog that comes our way. It's the only reason the rancher has us hunting his property to begin with. The deer & turkeys we take sure don't threaten his cattle. I hate to waste anything, but coyotes are taking over & I'll take every one I see with no regrets.

shoot the yotes if given a chance. I've shot deer and had other deer walk by as i was field dressing them. yotes will clear out when you shoot a gun.

Shoot them ALL the shot really dosnt do much damage on the deer hunt and its one less fawn eater out there come spring!

in the woods, who will reduce the coyote population. The government !!!!! Hunters and non-hunters would have to pay more in new taxes, than hunters, alone, spend hunting.

Recently a public park was closed for a time in Atlanta, Georgia. Hunting is banned in that city, and trappers were given the task. The trappers do it for a living; not out of the goodness of their heart. Hunters don't have large hunting tracts in the big cities.

I shoot them. Deer by me don't seem to mind shooting. I've had deer walk out after a shot many times. There's a lot of rec shooting by my hunt club. Shoot em or there will be 4-5 more next year.
