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.

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

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.....

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...

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.

Yeah, they're too dumb to shoot at that age--adult yotes, that's another matter!  :mgun2:

They're easy to run down too.  When you're holding them, they don't even try to get away.  Recommend keeping they're teeth away from fingers.

back in spring, a farmer, whom i know well, his wife wouldn't let me hunt yotes, on their ground, she even found a den and took food to it i found out. well a year later, a missing dog, killed cat and a cat rescued while being carried away by a yote, i was not only asked to come by to hunt, but directed to the den, four of those little cuties downed and one adult. funny how easy people can change their mind on things. makes three people (wives really) now whom in the past wanted the coyotes protected, then lost a dear pet and then started calling me., lol.

What's the difference between now or later? In the end they are what we believe them to be and we are what we find our selves to be. Coyotes as well as wolves are more pack dominant than other animals most of us typically hunt. So there is a likely chance they will be picked up by some other Coyote.

Obviously there are a lot of ethical issues for some people on this topic. Just stating at the end, in their adult life, you would shoot them.

Please don't read into the post. Just stating what is factual when they are adults compared to juveniles/ babies.

It is weird actually. If I saw a wolf that size, I would blast away (if legal to do so)  :dunno:

Everyone who hunts coyotes from April until August needs to be aware that they may be leaving these cute little guys to die of starvation and dehydration.  Bring a shovel, backtrack to the den, and do a little mercy killing if you kill a wet bitch.

Same with early rockchucks.  Shoot a female and you could be dooming a litter of pups in the burrow to death by starvation.

Well don't thank me...Varmint Ventilator sent me that photo. He found the den one day and took a few photos, I just posted it cause I thought it was pretty cool.

I just wished I could get out after the adult ones now but this cold/flu has got the best of me right now and I don't feel like leavin' the sofa so you guys have fun. When I get to feeling better, I'll dust off the old 22-250 and get busy. Already killed a few and sent 9 to the taxi but it was before Nov. 1, I was able to find one out and about, it was an "Opportunity dog" It had the opportunity to go out mousin' then had the opportunity to die for being within rifle range.

 Hopefully, when we get my dad's place sold and I get him all moved over here.... I can get a bit more serious about this calling thing but I still have two more truck and trailer loads of crap to move 300 miles and the Pass might be getting some snow real soon  :bash:

Once while heading into P&T land, to do some fishing, we seen one probably smaller that the one pictured, cross the road. I slammed on the brakes. Grabbed, my heavy flannel shirt and was in hot pursuit, I caught up with the little shaver and tossed my shirt over him/her, and snatched it up! Well, that little shaver proceeded to sh!t from one end of that flannel to the other.........both pup and shirt got tossed.......but we looked him/her over real good first........and sent it on it's way.........always wondered where and how far away mama was???????
