What do you guys do when coyotes ruin your stands?
Am I done for the night or should I keep at it. My experience has been that deer don't seem to run from gunshots, do bears?
This is the third time I've shot a coyote bear hunting although the first couple times I was just sitting.

I can't shoot any more. I've only got 2 rounds left. (I road the dual sport so I was packing light)

Lots of guys will start a bear stand with distress, then a few coyote howls and then more distress. It plays out as a natural situation where a coyote kills a rabbit or fawn which makes an easy meal for the bear. This sequence has worked a couple times for me.

Deer run from gunshots. Unless if it's a stupid mulie. Bear are even more skiddish than deer. Usually.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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

:yeah:
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.

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

Bear will book it from a gun shot!
Depends on what kind of bear i guess I saw a show where brown bears are actually coming to gun shots because they associate it with a fresh kill. I know your talking black bears just thought it was interesting

When you guys shoot a yote do you just leave it there to be eaten by another animal? I haven't looked into hunting them, and wouldn't know what to do if I shot one.
Leave it..... It's a coyote..... I have one on the wall.... Full winter coat..... That's all I need..... Unless I get a color phase.....
