Coyotes are ruining my hunt.

[SWHUNTER]

Good job.
I was bear hunting last weekend and saw a few myself.
Here's some before and after pictures. Those 180 grains do a number on them.

Looks like bear food to me? Hmmm?

A few years back, I shot a bear in a small cut and after cleaning it and packing it to the edge of the cut I turn around to see another bear only a hundred yards from where my bear fell. My friend proceeded to miss right over the top of it. I would assume a gun shot would bother a bear but apparently not all of them.

Nice shooting I need to get busy, and start thinning them around my place somemore they have gotten too smart to walk in range of my bedroom window anymore.

Wouldn't that be baiting, or were you in a different state.

Anyway. One of my dad's friends in Montana has a nice spread of land that something like this happens. Whenever the bears here a shot, they come running because they know that something has died. Easiest bear hunting ever.

Same thing happened to a buudy and I yesterday, three came a running and he whacks two outta three!

We had that discussion on here last year.  remnants of a hunt, as long as not placed for the purpose of baiting is not baiting was the consensus if I remember correctly.

Bear will book it from a gun shot!

That's actually pretty cool. I like that rule.

A bear might run from a shot initially....but they are curious and might come back to investigate if you miss...don't ask how I know but I do......

[Harborhunter]

Hell yeah!  Too bad they ruined your bear hunt, but lead was flying and yotes were dying!  That sounds like a good night to me!

[JimmyHoffa]

It looks more like you ruined their hunt.
  better deer season ahead.

Last year spotted a bear feeding on berries about 4oo yards from where 2 guys where blowing off their pistols at some cans for target preactice. Suprised the heck out of me that any bear was in the immediate area with all that racket going on. Like BGhunter says .....some bears just don't care I guess.

The more 'yotes you clear out of your hunting area, the easier it is to see what you are hunting for.

Thats just good hunting glory being shined down upon you from the the hunting God.

I have only passed on 2 coyotes while bear hunting...and that was pretty tough for me to do. Nice work.
