I can't pull the trigger

falfire,
you probably have a pen of those in the back yard, that's how you get all those numbers

[FALFire]

I killed 5 of those little buggers and two adult dogs in about an hour one day, the rancher wanted them gone. Don't do the pups any more, I let' em live until they are older and for day of calling unless they get too close to the house. I never felt good about that day, still don't. It's not about killing, it's about getting them on their terms in a fair chase scenario, I prefer calling and taking those that I out smart. I get a few once in awhile and hope to get a few this winter.

Cute little feller... could not kill em either.  Adults yes....

[Wildsau]

Cuoldn't kill it, either.  The adults make better targets.

Nice photo Falfire, didn't know you were that good at sneeking up on them without giving away your stench.     Got anymore pics of that litter.

Last 2 hunting trips my dog caught a pheasant.  Both wild.  He catches 1 pheasant every 5 he points.

I certainly respect everyone's right about what it is they choose to not pull the trigger on.  I also wouldn't shoot a pup like that if I happened upon it.  If it was a friends farm where they had been having coyote problems with livestock I probably wouldn't have a problem with it.  That young one will grow up.

On the other hand, I like veal.  I don't see much difference between eating a young veal calf or letting it grown a bit before eating it.  Maybe I would feel differently if I had to kill the calf though.

I like to wait until they are old enough to come into a call. Don't judge what others do though. Blast away!

I would have had a hard time not taking that little fella home. I love puppies. Give him two months though and i would have blown his brains out the back of his skull. Funny how that works.....

[Kowsrule30]

Had to shoot a few @ that size.... They were walking right passed my kids in our yard to stick their snout in the coupes... Then one walked within a yard straight to me... I can tell you .40 Hydrashok makes a mess that close...

[adamR]

I know it's not legal but I agree with CoryTDF, I may have had to take him home! That's about the cutest thing I've ever seen.  I could have trained him to steal and kill my neighbors evil roosters!!! I hate those damn things.

[Heredoggydoggy]

Yeah, they're too dumb to shoot at that age--adult yotes, that's another matter!
