Why You Shoot Coyotes!
These pictures are just a few taken from a larger collection of photographs that have been circulating via e-mail. For those who have not yet seen, they are a little disturbing but should serve as a stark reminder as to why coyote populations must remain in check. Maine sportsmen lets do our part by breaking out those deer rifles and giving the coyote populations a little bit of hell this holiday season!

WHOA - where were these taken? All the more reason to hate coyots
ReplyDeleteErin! Where you been?!?! I am not sure where the photos were taken. The answer to that might require an extensive Google Images search . . . your mission if you choose to accept! :)
ReplyDeleteYou betcha! There is NO other way!!
ReplyDeleteThe most disgusting I've seen are coyotes eating a calf as a momma heifer struggled to have a twin & then ate out the back end of the momma & left she " the second calf to suffer & die. DISGUSTING! I took no photos & hope no one has to see such a thing. Coyotes are filthy, rotten critters. Do your best to control the population.
ReplyDeleteOutfitter, Headed out this morning and within 15 minutes called in a yote. Only problem, thick cover and no shot. Can't wait for the water to ice over to provide me with the advantage!
ReplyDeleteI just mounted a brand new Pentax scope (4-16 X 50MM) onto my 7MM WSM.
ReplyDeleteHoping to get a Harris swivel bipod for Xmas. Then I'll be ready to go. Lets get together and give em hell this winter. No snow yet so the Barrens are easily accessed. Matt
Pointerman, I have been calling in yotes about every 4-5 times out. Just not open enough on my property for a descent shot opportunity. Would love to get out on the barrens or a frozen lake where I can test out the long range capabilities of my .223. I picked up a Caldwell Bipod . . . basically same as Harris only cheaper . . . worth a look.
ReplyDeleteTruckless until after New Years it appears but should be up in your area perhaps in March?!? I still think you should come down for Feb 18th Pike Tourney!
Take Care!
Saw this a few weeks back. Photos were taken in Texas...It's crazy to think that they can take down a full grown deer.
ReplyDeleteI start working on a study on Whitetail mortality with and without coyote control this upcoming spring. We'll see how it goes!
I have never had the opportunity to shoot a coyote but if i had those pictures would be my reason why.
ReplyDeleteMission accepted. Also, need your knowledge on a blog post of mine about hunting/disability stuff. See my blog post please =)
ReplyDeleteAlex, I have heard that they just pick at a deer until it slowly bleeds to death and finally can't fight back. By the look of the deer in the picture it appears to have suffered several bad bites before finally dying. Not a pleasant way to go far any creature.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to hearing more about your study!
Rick, I bet we can make a coyote killer out of you yet!
ReplyDeleteErin, I am heading over to your blog! Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteJeeze...Yeah, whenever I hunt my buddy's property up in the mountain he tells me to drop it if I see one..."don't even think about it, just put a shot on it." he says.
ReplyDeleteokee dokee.
Tom, I just started seriously hunting them and can attest that it is a ton of fun. There is nothing more exciting then seeing them creep into a bait site or circle you when your calling. Adrenaline ride!
ReplyDeleteMy trigger finger is starting to get that itch. Time for some yotes to die!
ReplyDeleteTrey, I hope to have the energy tonight to go out and sit on the bait site for a coupe hours . . . its about 15 degrees out today so will wait and see! Damn it is hell to get old!
ReplyDeleteWow! I wouldn't have thought they could bring down a healthy adult deer. I always thought the fawns were only vulnerable to yotes. Thanks for posting up. Makes me want to head back out to predator call. I only got 3 this fall, but it sounds like there are hundreds of them at night when I am camping out.
ReplyDeletethese pictures are the reason I bought a .223 for coyotes only. 2011-2012 the coyote population will drop in southern maine :)
ReplyDeleteAnon, .223 is a fantastic round for yotes! Keep me updated through the season on your progress. I am now hunting them heavy in central Maine and it would be interesting to see how others in the state are doing.
