Billy, if you come over here I'm sure there is someone that will let you use their rifle. I don't think you would be able to use your moderator over here. Probably not. Ours have to be registered with a $200 tax stamp.  What state would you like to hunt yotes in Billy? |

If it can breath on land or below water and has a season all bets are off but I'll ruin a deer hunt for a coyote probably not for a fox

I honestly don't know if gunfire bothers deer that much. I suppose it all depends on what they are used to hearing. I was shooting at targets with the long range gun at 1,000 yds and the bullet was going over Momma and twins who were grazing at 80 yds. They didn't have a care in the world when it went off, and I just kept an eye out on them before I squeezed the trigger.
I wouldn't pass on taking a coyote for fear of ruining a hunt. Well, I would if the big boy was in sight and so was a coyote. Then and only then would the coyote get a pass.

I just pulled a cam on my family property and it is ate up with raccoons and coyotes. I am going to get some traps. Anyone interested in showing me the ropes, let me know. I can check the traps and pay for equipment and you can have the fur. I am in Johnson County between greenwood and fairland.

I think They are like people good and bad dont stereotype the whole population because of the bad habits of a few I honestly believe if coyotes killed all the deer some believe with the Herd being in a reduction phase the DNR would CLOSE the season ,there's too many deer around for them to be much of a problem IMO I know this is late but amen. At least one other person believes as I do. I'm not convinced on the studies being thrown around. Most are in an enclosure. All the studies on dens show bones not how the animal died. Look at 20 years ago the numbers of deer we had in Indiana. You can't tell me the coyote numbers have risen that much. Especially how "in" it is the be a predator hunter lately. |

I been trapping for 40 years and where I live I didn't really start catching or seeing many coyotes until late 70's and early 1980's. We used catch over a 100 red fox a year and starting around 1982 it seemed the yotes started showing up and the red fox population all but vanished. Grays were still plentiful, but now they are hard to find now. About the only place we would find reds were very close to town. The yotes had taken over, but I didn't mind, at that time they were bringing 100 bucks each for the live market.

I've been hunting coyotes for about the past 20 years now. Call and kill 15 to 20 each year. Some years more, some years less. Over all the years calling, I've only called in a half dozen fox. All reds, no greys. I killed the first one about 15 years ago, then last year I killed another. A week after taking that one I called in another red nearby but let it leave. Last week I had a red fox on a trail camera in the same area I took the red fox. That's the first red fox I've had on a trail camera. Today I was looking around where I'd field dressed a deer last week. Some remains still left. Fox tracks in the snow, no coyote tracks. Maybe killing every coyote I see is starting to pay off.

I'm new to hunting coyote and I look forward to killing a bunch of them. I just shot my first one a few days ago and it was a clean healthy looking example running with about two or three others (hard to be sure once the shooting started) a good looking pack of predators. I see them all over which tells me populations are doing good which helps explain why I haven't seen one single upland game bird in the last six months that I have been hunting thousands of acres of public land. If a fox wonders into my stand while I'm calling coyote that's a bonus as far as I'm concerned.

I've shot foxes before but they were pretty common back then. I wouldn't shoot one now, heck I haven't seen one for a couple years. Coyotes keep the population reduced to where they're pretty scarce around here.

Growing up we thought the foxes were the root of all evil in regards to our small game. Then the coyotes moved in and we learned what evil really is! Rarely see a fox now and won't kill any that I do. So wish we had them back and the coyotes would be gone.

One thing we forget about is domestic dogs out running in packs from time to time. Add up all the predators out there these days and the lack of fence lines for protection and travel lanes between fields and you have a lower game population.
I yearn for the old days when there was a big corn field or wheat field in back of my parent's house and I could walk though that field almost anytime I wanted to and hit the big woods to hunt. Today there are homes sitting on the top of the hill that used to be that wheat field and a big house with a in-ground swimming pool sits in the middle of that woods.
