Title: Question about coyote hunting
Post by: Rawr0192 on November 26, 2010, 06:43:40 PM: if their is a large group of coyotes and you take a shot at one. lets say its a clean one shot kill. would the group come after you or run away from you?

It's not real common but at least once a year I call in a group of 3-6. And no they won't attack you. They'll run at light speed away from you.

So have I. Not while hunting though. Heck, I wish one would charge me while I was hunting. Once the rifle comes out they go into super stealth mode and I never see 'em.

Post by: tlbradford on November 30, 2010, 05:06:05 PM: I don't know what he had in mind, but it scared the pee out of me. I was quail hunting without a dog when I was 16. I came through a draw and all of a sudden a coyote jumps up about 5 yards from me. I had my dads browning A5 and some cheap #8 low base shot. I pulled up and shot it while it was quartering away at about 15 yards. It spun t around and he was facing directly at me. I hadn't flipped the little switch on the A5 that helps it eject less powerful loads so it stovepiped the empty shell. He ran right at me, I got the shell out and shot him at 3 yards in the face and chest. He is still the heaviest coyote I have shot at 46 pounds.

Post by: Grizzly95 on November 30, 2010, 05:14:02 PM: If they do run towards you it just gives you the chance to bust another one ;) my buddy and I were south of town and walked over a hill and there were 5 in a group, were smoked one and walked up to where they were to see if they had a kill but nothing.
Title: Re: Question about coyote hunting
Post by: Bofire on November 30, 2010, 05:21:31 PM: :)well I think they have discriminating taste, they'ed attack runamuck before me, fer instance. O'course if they was starving it might be different. Many new callers have disappeared so I reccomend that you newbies all quit! before ya get ate. :chuckle:
