I’ll have to admit, I am feeling a bit of remorse for killing my first hunted coyote? I am an older guy in my (late 20’s) and new to hunting, but always wanted to try hunting and get into a new hobby that takes me away from the house and chaos.  My brother-in-law has a ranch and asked me to come over and shoot some coyotes that are becoming a problem. Anyway,  he also has a lot of deer on his property and thought it would be a good all around deal type thing for future deer seasons.

They say hunting coyotes is a hard thing, but it was simple my first time and extremely lucky because it was 7:00 or so in the evening and when I came around the barn to setup there was a coyote digging under a duck cage. I took aim and dropped him on the spot. He was a young coyote and my brother-in-law gutted him and pinned him to a fence post.

I understand Coyotes are varmints and populations are lopsided, but I feel it was a waste of an animal? You can’t eat them and to disgrace them?  I have no problem taking edible game but for some odd reason my first coyotes just did not sit right with me and have an odd feeling of remorse.

Anyone else ever feel this way?

Afternoon all! I’ve been doing a lot of coyote hunting this summer and it’s been poor at best. Due to being on a budget I would like to get ideas for a “handmade” cheep coyote hunting decoy? Being new to coyote hunting I want to increase my odds of “even” seeing a coyote.  After going out a few times this month I have heard them howl in the distance so possibly a decoy will bring them in?…or if you have suggestions on a better strategy it sure would help.

Regards,

Alright I have a question. I’ve been invited to go coyote hunting outside of Tulsa Oklahoma next month..I don’t have a varmint rifle but I will be Coyote Hunting with 7mm Mag that I use for deer hunting. I know it’s a bit of an overkill but due to how flat it shoots is a good choice?Is there anything else you would recommend I bring? We are planning to bait them and using spot lights but I read electronic calls really help out and know it’s not really sportsmen like but this is for bounty money. Also, is it true you need to wear lots of camouflage/scent lok clothes for coyotes because all the videos on You Tube show all the hunters wearing them?

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

My new huntin blind. I was looking online at the prices for hunting blinds and due to the budget state of mind we are all in I thought it would be an excellent idea to give it a shot and build one myself. Tell me what you think and looking forward to getting it done for some fall coyote hunting.

Hello all thought i’d share my Coyote hunting photos in Montana. It was a great day and as you see a successful varmint hunting day.
