what to do with a coyote?

 BigLuke.....still shows active.....still waiting.....tick tock.

What do you do with a yote? Eat it if you're hungrey! otherwise leave em alone

i'm assuming you are saying leave them alone as in leave them alone in the dirt dead where they fell,.. right?

I used to shoot em and leave em but have learned hunting them doesn't really put a dent in the population. Thinning them out just makes the local population more healthier. Best just to let them over populate and die off in cycles from mange and disease

Leaving them alone to overpopulate isn't as fun though.

Do I need to say anything else?
You're gonna hate whatever I say.   

But ok... you called me out into the street.

You all seem to take stuff too personally, and appently have no concept of sarcasm.
I could go on for hundreds of pages, about times, places, and events that have happened, that would prove my case, but you guys wouldn't give a S***.

Funny how everybody allways thinks they didn't do anything wrong till they get caught by a game warden.

I was simply trying to raise the issue that laws are laws. Period. Some people see them as having grey areas, some people don't. Often times field officers don't.

So go ahead and threaten me or say You wouldn't hunt with me. Why?
Because I'm a law abiding citizen who will call the cops? Fine.
Some of you say you are as well. But I've seen it in field as well. Guy says, "I fish legally all the time." Then has twice the limit in his boat. Or guy says, "I would never hunt illegally." Then gets caught shooting a coyote from a highway.  Need I continue?
Whatever.....   

And besides.... why would I want to post ANY rules on here from another website?
Some may STILL think I'm a liar. Some may STILL call BS on what I found. Or say I forged it.
Fine. Read the rules for yourself. Defend yourself in court.

And for the record... I only called people "Names" in the 4th person. In other words, that meant they weren't directed at any one particular person, but about a group of fictional characters for reference.   As in, "Those guys" or "These things".

I still say it's wrong to waste anything on purpose. We all need to be respectful of everybodies ratural resources. It only takes 1 person to ruin it for the rest of us.

  whatever. have a nice day 

[h20hunter]

Nope...not good enough. You said it is a violation and deserving of 10 points. It has been posted otherwise and you still seem to believe you are some holier than thou. We are not talking about overharvesting fish. We are talking about coyotes. Please show me where you are entiteled to 10 points for reporting a violation.

[h20hunter]

Hey man?
Whats your problem with me?
why do you have to follow me around to different posts on here harrasing me like this *censored*?
Huh?

I never said anything derogatory to, or about you.   I just said I'd have no problem calling the cops if I saw you breaking the law.
Why does that make ME the bad guy?

I'll tell you what my problem is. Your have referred to members of this forum, in general, in derogatory terms while spouting incorrect information about what is legal or not. When asked to clarify you talk around the subject instead of directly. All you need to do is eat a little crow and stop citing regulations that don't exist while threatening to report people for made up violations.

LOL....   

I wouldn't mind another 10 points in the system.

Sooooo.... If you want me to spell it out for you......
The LOL means "Laugh Out Loud".
And the Chuckling avatar means I wasn't being serious.
Come on. You really thought I would get 10 points? for what?

Of course I can't get 10 points for calling the WDFW when somebody shoots a coyote. Come on....
Would you like me to spell out the points system for you as well?
Sorry not gonna do that. It's a reward sytem. Not unlike a wanted posted. Good deed deserves good prize.

[bobcat]

All you need to do is eat a little crow

Or perhaps in this case a little coyote would be more appropriate?

Oh it was all a big joke. Yea right. Just man up!!!

[h20hunter]

Nope...up until now I KNEW you would not get any points. However, it seemed like you THOUGHT you would. I'll accept your rambling nonsense about points and the used of icons as saying that you understand you were wrong about shooting a coyote and leaving it lay was any kind of a violation that warrants the game departments attention.

And what behhutin said...

BigLuke, I am not sure what part of the wastage law law as currently written you would call a gray area??

(1) A person is guilty of waste of fish and wildlife if:

     (a) The person kills, takes, or possesses fish, shellfish, or wildlife having a value of two hundred fifty dollars or more or wildlife classified as big game; and

     (b) The person recklessly allows such fish, shellfish, or wildlife to be wasted.

Are you saying this is not clear and easiliy understood?  Are you saying you believe a coyote to be a big game animal?  Or are you valuing them at $250.00 or more?  If you scroll back through here you will see many examples that show neither of these to be the case.  Or you can do a search on your own if you do not trust what has been presented.

Your personal opinion is yours, no arguing that, if you feel that they should not be killed and not utilized, so be it.  But the law is not on your side in this case, plain and simple. 

[h20hunter]

You can end the beating......three words.

[BIGINNER]

I AM SORRY  - BIG LUKE-

[BiggLuke]

.....   

IT IS A VIOLATION.
I'VE SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES.

Call the Olympia office yourself if you'd like.
It's one of those rules that everybody thinks is ok, but is only borderline ok.
Coyote are clasified as WILDLIFE.
If you intentially waste, you CAN get busted.
Hell, I personally know of a guy who got ticketed for Littering for shooting starlings near his house, but just left them lay. Not his property.
The same CAN and WILL happen to anybody else with coyotes.

I would list a dozen of other stories... but why should I? You won't believe me.

Who's to say what the value is? Some animal rights activist may make a case that any life is priceles.....   In court they would only need proof of a reciept that one of their friends was willing to $250 or more for the animal.....  jsut saying....

[h20hunter]

Nope....wrong three I was thinking of Beginner......more like I AM WRONG.

Go ahead Luke...cite me the rcw.....

Now you are a lawyer? I didn't know littering was in question here. Last time I checked there were laws against it.
