Hunting in july/august

[BOWHUNTER45]

I shot a young pup last summer when I was out. At the time I thought a coyote is a coyote, but I don't think I'd do it again. He was old enough to be alone but small enough to make me feel Bad about it.

Yeah I have done it too ..and I do not think I could ever do it again ....

I dont think I could kill a pup, what do you guys think? I would however kill a female that was hunting for her pups and by knocking her out the pups would die, but I could live with that.

what do you guys usualy do with them after you kill em i was thinking about skinning them and tanning the hide but then again the hides suck in the summer

[madcow41]

I dont really hunt them in the summer and if I do I leave them in the field. I focus on hunting them in the winter/Spring

I don't get this?  Don't have an issue but I don't get it.

Pups or not, if I'm quick enough and they're slow enough, I'm busting them year around.

So you will let the Pup's suffer a miserable death (Starving) vice shooting them?  Anit's love those comments.  Either way they are going to die, one just happens to be more humane then the other.  We may not like them; they are extremly destructive and need to be managed.  But as hunters or game managers however you want to look at it we should still do our duty and ensure that no animal suffers a miserable death.  The German word that best sescribes this is Waidergerechtigheit (Spelling is wrong).  The closest literal translation is sportsmanship is what directs German hunters to do what's right.  That's just my 2 cents on the though.
