Though you guys should see these dogs hunt. Amazing.

You know...I watched a few minutes then turned it off. I guess I find it a little disturbing. Yes, we shoot yotes, call them in, decoy them, I suppose some are even trapped. However, the "running down" of the yote with the trucks and then turning the pack loose on it to basically rip it apart is disturbing to me. It just doesn't seem sporting in the least. Put the hunters on foot, working their butts off to follow the dogs, killing the yote in a more humane and quick way, that might change my mind.

If legal in their area to do this then so be it. However, its not my thing.

I was more talking more about the dogs being amazing in there speed and ability to catch the coyote.  I myself think yes a little inhuman but not much different than hound hunting for bear, coons, bobcat, cougars, or pigs.  All just a preference in hunting.

That sure looks like fun

I agree Dug.....the dogs are something to behold.

I wonder how many dogs they loose each year to those hunts?

I would bet they lose more to injury from fences, mole holes, and running type injuries than to the coyote.

Looks to me like the dogs are just 'holding' the coyote once they catch it. I would bet those song dogs could be released unharmed after being caught and I have no doubt some of them - if not most of them - get released to run another day.

Sorry, not impressed.  Guess it's just my hunting ethics and the way I was brought up.

Crazy ...I sure would hate to see them hit a rock or run into a hole   

[Firedogg]

  Was it just me or did anyone else hope to see the truck hit a rut in the cornrow and roll over??

I was watching a guy in TX hunt with dogs, he would sit and call the coyotes in and then send the dog usually one after to interact and bring them in close to the shooter.  Band coyote down!  I guess its true to each is own.  if you dont like it dont watch it!

Now...using a dog to decoy the yote in further....that is pretty awesome.
