Killing animals

[WillieWatanabe]

hadnt heard of many big ones up in the northern kansas this year. Quite a few mountain lion sightings though

Are they moving much?  Out of town for work this week ( ) and I won't get to hunt until Sunday night.  Hopefully work remotely all of next week and spend mornings and evenings in the stand.

well...peak rut is obviously over but they're still moving.  they're getting more cautious again, but if you're hunting rifle (cheating) you should still be able to get a shot.  rut was (is?) weird this year.  very hit and miss.

Vehicles aside I've never killed a deer so I'll try cheating first.  Also a public land hunter.

[Pexikan]

I'm in my stand right now. Passed on a group of ladies this morning. Ive seen crap for the past hour or so, so ill bbs while I stay quiet. And eff yeah, I cheat.

[Fedor]

I use a knife if you use a bow you are cheating.

My Grandpa has finished his Mountain Lion trap.  He's going to use a live duck as bait. So really he'll be killing two animals.  Super cool.  Once he catchs it he's going to blow its brains out with a .22.  He'll probably have to shoot it ten times.

who would want to kill a mountain lion

Hey Rick Rampus, I finally shot my first 'yote.  Hit a bunch of spots and this one came after only a couple minutes of calling.  Was pretty fun.

[RickRampus]

congrats emo, coyotes have always been my favorite because nobody is going to get mad at you for shooting one, they kill my crap, and it is a huge rush to watch one come in if you had been calling them.  Friend of mine has an electronic caller that you can record stuff with and just had a baby girl.  He recorded her crying and has been using it to lure them in, works pretty good.

what are you farming that a coyote is killing? like, guinea pigs?

i think shooting coyotes is weird and mean.  i loved killing them with greyhounds with my grandfather, though.  pretty hypocritical of me.  a lot of the things i love doing are really cruel to one animal or another, but i love animals.  it's weird.

My prized turkey flock.

Not one that has been raised to be loving and trusting, sd. 

He just wanted to play.

If you keep standing up for these sheep, they will always live in fear of coyotes.  You need to breed them meaner and nastier to protect themselve.  Teach a man to fish, etc.

I pretty much agree sys.  As she was coming in closer and closer I had hesitations about shooting her.  But you see I had done all this work and wanted to know how it felt so I shot her.  I felt weird looking at her all warm and dead, especially since I have two dogs that I really like.  Would love to chase them down with 'hounds some day, sounds like fun.

Coyotes will take down newborn calves.  Always good to have the AR with you this time of year.

lol, bullshit. you have to have some kind of pud cow to let that happen. I've always known this was an excuse for cow farmers to get their jollys by shooting small dogs.

Sometimes momma is a Jersey Shore parent and doesn't take care of her little one.

yep, i know the feeling.  would have done the same, you have to finish what you start.


it's super fun.  the dogs are so happy to be killing their little cousins, it's infectious.  also they're really fast and beautiful when they run.

Coyotes are very interesting animals, IMHO.

I may develop a coyote emoticon. But coyotes will never surpass Wildcats.

The cool thing about using grayhounds to hunt 'yotes is there's a decent chance those dogs will just keep on running if they don't find a coyote.
