Post by: Jonathan_S on February 21, 2013, 03:10:14 PM: How could it be inhumane? Pups are already half grown by then. I might be missing what you consider inhumane though? I say hunt them right now when they're paired up, better chance of doubles and save some fawns.

Post by: bobcat on February 21, 2013, 05:19:12 PM: If you're in the wilderness, you might be more likely to see wolves than coyotes.

If you do get a large coyote, you might not want to post any pictures. :o

No law against NOT posting and/or bragging. Same goes for making a bad shot or losing a wounded animal. Or displaying a bloody animal on the front grill of your truck. Sometimes it's better to just enjoy your hunt and save that memory for your pro hunting grandchildren's fireside stories. People these days share way to much personal information on the internet as it is.

Post by: halfpipe88 on February 23, 2013, 02:44:48 PM: 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.

Post by: bearpaw on February 23, 2013, 02:57:21 PM: Coyotes are overpopulated in most areas of the state and there is a year around season, that is why I support year around hunting of coyotes, we need to help as often as we can to keep their population in check. :twocents:

Post by: madcow41 on February 23, 2013, 04:56:55 PM: 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.
Title: Re: Hunting in july/august
Post by: mitchfiling on February 23, 2013, 07:38:43 PM: what do you guys usualy do with them after you kill em :dunno: i was thinking about skinning them and tanning the hide but then again the hides suck in the summer :chuckle:
Title: Re: Hunting in july/august
Post by: madcow41 on February 24, 2013, 11:08:40 AM: 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.
