Coyotes... Shoot or pass?
- Thread starter DB4x4
- Start date
Shooting a cat is a crime in my state unless strangely enough the cat belongs to you.
It's a crime here also. They're considered companion pets. Feral cats are not excluded. Just don't take pictures.
My buddy that traps uses the federal cat meat he traps to stage other traps. Yotes and a lot of other critters love cat meat. Crazy that trappers can kill them with impunity, but the rest of society can be find $10k and up to a year in jail.
After I shoot the cat then it is mine, right? Technically the deer is not mine until after I shoot it.
No feral cat problems where I live as far as I know. But think of it this way. If I saw your dog chasing deer should I shoot him even though he is a $1500 bird dog?
I live in a place where it is legal to run deer with dogs. With that being said, I still feel if you're running your dogs on my private land I have every right to shoot your dogs.
If your $1500 bird dog doesn't listen enough to not run off, you might have over paid by $1500.

I shoot at every one I see. I’ve shot one and had deer walk right by it. I can’t stand them ! Only thing worse is the neighbors dogs
In 36 years of deer hunting never once let a coyote get past me in range unscathed
Never.
Will never ever let a shot opportunity on a coyote go untried. Most years when I hunted in IL shot more coyotes each year than deer or turkeys.
Had more than a few farmers whose land I hunted that also raised cattle that told me up front if I ever let an opportunity to kill a coyote go to waist I had better not let them find out about it.
Shot more coyotes than I can easily recount in the last 20 years alone because 18 of the last 20 turkey seasons I hunted in two states for a total of at least 14 days and fall turkey hunted as well and surprisingly shot way way more coyotes fall turkey than turkeys as I still only shoot toms or jakes. Where I hunt spring and fall turkeys it seems young coyotes are very easy to call into a turkey decoy.

Chootem Every chance I get all tho some land owners don't want you to take them out
Making a joke. The rest of the thread will explain it.
Now what I want to know is what does NFIWSE mean?
Better watch out for fleas when I trapped I put them in tied trash bags some get nasty infected with ticks, fleas
