I shot one last evening. I was sitting in the hot tub when a small male ran across our east pasture. I ran into the house, got my .250, called it back, put him down and got back in the hot tub.

I like furs and they sure fluff out in the late fall and winter.

Post by: boneaddict on May 07, 2007, 10:50:01 AM: If thats true, then shoot a few more would ya, I'm running out of bullets, and am tired of being woke up every night. I've even had the thought of installing red spots on my property to flip a switch and start blazing. 8)
Did you get anything for the pelts?

Post by: WAcoyotehunter on May 07, 2007, 11:45:06 AM: I was able to sell over half of them. Most brought around $20, so they're worth shooting at. I took my "winnings" and bought a new pentax scope to top my .204. the rest went to the general fund!
On my way to Erie this week, Smallies on Thursday and Walleyes on Friday 8)there's also a wedding in there somewhere :rolleyes:

Post by: WAcoyotehunter on June 18, 2007, 11:42:25 AM: My wife just called and said we lost a cow :( if i'm going to lose a $1000 animal, i should at least get the chance to shoot yotes off it. She looked at her with the spotting scope and said they we ALL over it. Better dust off the 22-250 and try to resurrect my season! >:(

Post by: WAcoyotehunter on June 21, 2007, 03:48:02 PM: Thanks for the offer! Two down...we'll see how many we can get rid of.
Title: Re: Predator Control
Post by: PolarBear on June 21, 2007, 06:29:04 PM: I got most of mine this winter off of cow carcasses, as many as 4 per day! I think that the most that I have taken off of a single cow was 12-13. It is a ton of fun if you can see the cow from the house and shoot them from the porch!

Post by: WAcoyotehunter on June 22, 2007, 07:07:24 AM: I can't see her...luckily- she is getting ripe. I skipped out last night and ended up awake several times with coyotes howling close to the house. One sounded like it was in the living room :bash:
My wife saw two yesterday while she was moving irrigation, she'll be packing some heat today!
