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..

Perhaps developing or planting pine trees on every inch of ground that we can get our grubby fat hands on is going to bite us in the ass faster than we thought...
