Coyotes are ruining my hunt.
« on: August 13, 2012, 06:52:39 PM »
So tonight I'm sitting in my climber calling and low and behold about 6 song dogs show up.   After watching them for a bit I think, "these S.O.B.'s are ruining my hunt....BLAM". One 180 grain Accubond latter I've got a dead fawn killer down.

What do you guys do when coyotes ruin your stands?

Am I done for the night or should I keep at it.  My experience has been that deer don't seem to run from gunshots, do bears?

This is the third time I've shot a coyote bear hunting although the first couple times I was just sitting.

We could say [Democrats] spend money like drunken Sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken Sailors. It would be unfair, because the Sailors are spending their own money.

Next time bring along a handful of non expensive ammo.  Only thing I'd be hesitant about is wasting an accubond on those nasty things

Hand loaded Accubonds are still cheaper than cheap factory stuff.

I can't shoot any more.  I've only got 2 rounds left.  (I road the dual sport so I was packing light)

The shooting ruined your bear stand, not the coyotes.
Lots of guys will start a bear stand with distress, then a few coyote howls and then more distress. It plays out as a natural situation where a coyote kills a rabbit or fawn which makes an easy meal for the bear. This sequence has worked a couple times for me.

Deer run from gunshots. Unless if it's a stupid mulie. Bear are even more skiddish than deer. Usually.

Keep going, I have lots of yotes on the property and it seems the last few months, that's all I get on my trail cam. I'll be packing my calls this next trip up to thin them down some.
