Title: i did it!!
Post by: WildfireArcher on January 22, 2010, 11:20:42 PM: tonight i sat outside on my back porch with the little electronic portable call i got for christmas and sure enough about 10 minutes into calling i had a coyote walk 30 yards from me. too bad i live in the city limits or i woulda lit him up. Never been yote hunting but have been really wanting to try it lately... and tonight got me extremely interested! not to mention it gave me the buck fever shakes somethin fierce. Tonight was the first time i've ever called in a coyote too!

Post by: WildfireArcher on January 22, 2010, 11:43:02 PM: guys i just went back out and did a bit more calling and had a pack of them within 75 yards! their was at least 5 and they were howling and barking like crazy!!! couldnt see them but i took my sister out and we could here them walking 15 yards from us. they were walking around our chicken coop! i can't get enough of it!! i can still feel the adrenaline!

DUGANDEER, i don't think my parents or my neighbors would be too happy with me if i touched off the rummy. Since i only live on about 2 acres :chuckle:

Shooting a bow legal in your city limits? Used to be ok where I lived, killed a few off the back porch that way. But each town or city is different.

Almost anywhere, I know of two towns here that the city ordanance covers anything that fires a projectile. Also where I used to work any projectile was covered which included bb guns and bows. Really restrictive I know but there are a few towns/cities out there like that.

Post by: TONTO on January 23, 2010, 12:24:32 AM: If you aren't going to shoot at em I'm not sure if I'ld be wanting to call em in to my porch. Maybe you should go to the park and call some in :rolleyes:

Post by: mountainman1 on January 26, 2010, 12:16:13 AM: Ya, that's funny "Magnolia Park" :) If you have coyotes that close you must have room to shoot them with a bow. Git-er-done. Keep up the calling, its a lot of fun :tup:
Title: Re: i did it!!
Post by: carpsniperg2 on January 26, 2010, 12:48:02 AM: poke a lung out of them with a stick and string you think its a blast now kill one with a bow "very very hard to do" then you will be on cloud 9 :chuckle:

Post by: CastleRocker on January 26, 2010, 01:03:14 AM: I've got five in my whole life with a bow. If you want to see something completely jump your string, shoot (at) a coyote! Better have a fast bow, and be top pin close.
I've had them completely swap ends before my arrow got there, when they are out there 40+ yards. I've lost more arrows...
