been yote hunting a while, depend alot on permission to hunt. funny thing, a few that were completely against it, and thought it was a bad thing to be doing, now after loosing a cat, duck or dog, are the ones hounding me the most these days to hunt their property. any other longtime callers experience this.
call me a fool, but these are the properties i deliberatly avoid now, Lol kind of a yote refuge now :chuckle: they made their bed, i figure let them go get a gun! ;)

Give'em enough rope and they hand themselves! Nothing like a dose of reality to wake ignorant people up! :bash:

i know what you mean. i worked for an older couple on their property on the weekends, i would tell them the days i wasnt able to work because i hunt and they would cringe, but they didnt have a problem with me shooting crows and ground squrrials. :dunno:

It all depends on their own situation and personal perception. I know dry land wheat guys that love coyotes because they eat mice and "may" keep disease down. Or, guys with trees that hate em because they chew on the drip lines. Here in another couple months the aerial gunner and his super cub will be flying around as the neighbors beef will be getting ready to drop calves. Yotes can cause a lot of damage to some, yet be helpful to others.
That being said, I know of a few guys that we VERY anti coyote hunting until they lost a dog or two.....then it was "Kill em all".

that gunnery from the air sounds dangerous, must be hard to fly and shoot, multi tasking is so distracting, so i would like to volunteer my services and ride shotgun please advise :rolleyes:

I was in a little cafe down on the coast with my dad during elk season. We were sitting with some loggers and they were discussing having to cut down wind damaged trees. They were pretty upset that the yuppy tree huggers that put them out of work were now the ones calling them to save their houses. They laughed about letting the trees fall on the houses. I hope they charge the hell out of em. :chuckle: Probably the same people you are talking aobut.

pretty much the same thing with the Coasties who voted in the trapping ban , it was just fine for cattlemen and sheep ranchers to lose livestock BUT when the gophers and moles kept tearing up the lawns on the wet side they wanted it to be LEGAL for them to trap them . Funny how trapping is inhumane for a coyote BUT not for a gopher.

yeah, seems their character is more driven on what makes them feel good now, today, damn sheep. seems there are only three types out there, sheep, always following the crowd, blissfully ignorant,trying not to stand out, and going what ever direction that guy up front that eats them, tells them to go. Wolves, acting in packs, following the sheep and picking off the weak. and then there are Lions, they follow the sheep and the wolves and eat 'em both. i'd rather be the later. i guess one can argue that there are also sheep dogs, following the herders commands and protecting the sheep, but i have after all these years given up on that idealology, and figure i'm a little sick of all that damn bAhhhaaahh-ing, and maybe some sheep deserve to be ate.
