The Reason to Hunt Coyotes

Doing my part I have killed 52 coyotes this year if every hunter kills just 1 coyote a year he is doing nature a favor.





































These seven coyotes were all taken at once with a Semi Auto 12 Gauge Shotgun with 3" Magnum BB STEEL SHOT ,6 shot fired in rapid secession at 25 yards they never seen it coming.

I live inside the city limits. I have about 14 acres and I am the ONLY residence on my road, on the Arkansas side anyway. The Oklahoma/Arkansas line runs right on the edge of the road on my property. We have a lot of coyotes cross our property.

I have a Great Pyrenees and a Rottweiler, but I worry about the possibility of rabies, so I don't cut them loose on the coyotes when I see them. I do, however, have a solution. My 1947 Mossberg 44US(c). For those who are not familiar with the Mossy, they were originally designed and built for the Army as training rifles. It has a rod that screws in to the bottom of the magazine, allowing for using shorts without them moving forward in the magazine. With CCI CB Caps it is as quiet, even quieter, than most suppressed 22s I have shot.

I have it sighted in at 75 yards and have shot a couple of coyotes without alerting any of my neighbors in Oklahoma.

Here is a picture of my Mossy and the 'Pill' that does the trick.....

Exc. When you get one, hang it up in a tree. I use some fishing line and toss a sinker over a high branch so I can hoist it high up. They get the message pdq.

For about 10-12 years we had a huge tree that was hollow about 30 foot up. Each year owls would be born in that tree, usually one but two one time. As they learned to fly they would sit on a low limb for hours just maybe 10-12 feet above a picnic table we had. One year after a storm, one broke a wing and crows pecked the little guy until one side of his body was just trashed and mangled. We drove about 50 miles to an animal rescue place but they put him down. Now, I keep pellet guns and the full auto one by the door, they show up, I send a message. I do have suppressors and 22s. I suspect some of them will die on the ground before long.

WE have turkeys that come through our place nearly every day. Yesterday we had 5 basically roosting on the ground 40 yards from the house. Not one young turkey this year, something is getting them. We have about a dozen with a couple miles we see nearly every week, not one young turkey this year. Here are 3 good toms about 300 yards on my neighbors driveway a couple weeks ago.

Crows and coyotes have got to go. We have bobcats, but I let them walk, love to see them from the house. Here is an old picture about 70 yards from the house and one sneaking around my truck where rabbits like to hide. And of course the yotes.

Mine is the Umarex, about $99 on Ebay or Amazon. They have some nice ones that look like an AR but they are not cheap. They are only about 480 fps but pretty good thumpers out to 40-50 yards. Not going to kill anything but a deterrent to animals. Cats and stray dogs do not like them at all.

This is one of the reviews from the Umarex Amazon site. Sounds like a California story. I recall Paris Hilton had her dog snatched while walking it on a leash. Kind of like the Rick Perry story, except he had the fine little Ruger LCP. Pretty strange to us gun guys, we would have presented something with 900 fps plus and 90-230 grains. IMHO
