Saw 4 on a site hunt Wednesday, one of them got lead poisoning. I love rolling them up with a scattergun.
I had a coyote sleeping in my backyard in a wide open field at around 10am last week. Gave him a round out the .270 from the kitchen window. Thought it was pretty odd behavior.
“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965
I don't know Rinella, and yes a I shot a coyote with a shotgun. Carry on.
I put the sneak on one that was frolicking and then laying down/sleeping in a recently cut hay field. I came out of the woods after a morning deer bow hunt and noticed the coyote in the field. I belly crawled down the side of a cotton field then was able to use the round bales between us to slip within about 40 yards. I got in position, rolled out from behind the closest bale with the bow drawn and shot well over his back on a perfect broadside opportunity. That vision of the arrow going over his back is indelibly burned into my memory.
I was discing a field and had one move just far enough out the way that I wouldn’t hit him. Did that for about 3 passes before he walked off into the woods. They’ll do some weird stuff. I’m ready to start thinning them out. I’ve seen more this year than I ever have and let ones I could have killed go because I was chasing a buck. Come Jan. 2, I’m busting out the call box and furry tail spinner thingy and letting it rip.
I watched my girl Zoom chew on the side of one’s head that Bob had shot in the middle/ass end..
It was euphoric..
