Title: Bowling for baby yotes
Post by: boneaddict on July 04, 2011, 07:58:32 AM: I was coming to work this morning and there were three little yotes in the road. I think they owned it. What would you do? What do you think I did. :chuckle:

Post by: bear on July 04, 2011, 08:42:16 AM: I can't imagine actually trying to run them over. :puke: Maybe when I was a teenager, but not now. I have to believe that you stopped and watched them get off the road. Bear

Post by: boneaddict on July 04, 2011, 08:48:56 AM: Well the first thought was to stop and open fire. :chuckle: but I refrained. Mostly attributed to you guys and this site I think. In the old days........

I let nature take its course and they moved. I did wish I had my camera with me. I'll admit I have run some of them down in the past though. I had to resist. Coyotes rate right up there gophers to me. I'll no doubt be shooting them in the next week or so as they try to eat my chickens. I can't remember if I post the pic of the one we had in our flower bed last weekend.

I'm probably in a minority, but I shoot em when I can. It does not have to be fur season.

Post by: Maverick on July 04, 2011, 11:01:08 AM: I'll shoot coyotes anytime of year but I don't mess with the pups. Let them eat some mice and grow a little. Doesn't feel right trying to kill a little puppy.. How many guys are proud of killing coyote pups out there? This winter when theyre bigger is different. I'm talkin now when they're under 2 feet tall.

What would you do?
Were the yotes close enough together to get them all with one blast from a 12 ga? I haven't had any luck using the truck for yotes. I did find feathers all over my yard last night, so it might be time to thin the pack a bit...again.

Post by: Kowsrule30 on July 04, 2011, 11:56:07 AM: I would have had a long thought for this one..... Just had to blast one that was sticking it's nose in my coupe.... It trotted within 5 feet past my 4 year old son as he's yelling for the neighbor dog to get out of the yard.... I look and kick at it.... It turns toward me while walking to me..... That's when I realized what is was and put one between her eyes at a yard..... I don't like yotes....

Post by: boneaddict on July 04, 2011, 12:22:17 PM: Yep, kicked th e pup out of the yard last week and figured It had been wathcing the chickens I had let out. Sure enough, Lost one. Neighbor dogs know better. I've got some training to do thats for sure. Damn thing was small enough to get through my pig wire.

Post by: Bean Counter on July 09, 2011, 12:38:42 PM: I'd pancake them. Only for the same reason why I have no hesitation to step on a baby cockroach or a baby spider. Small = cute... but its still a varmit... eats our deer, ya know.

Post by: addicted on August 10, 2011, 06:58:14 PM: depends..... am i driving the wife's cobalt or my jeep? If it's a legal situation, i probably do have rifle with me as well so that would be an option too.

Post by: Special T on August 11, 2011, 10:22:26 PM: Kill em all and let God Sort them out! :chuckle:
Title: Re: Bowling for baby yotes
Post by: NWWABOWHNTR on August 16, 2011, 08:21:34 PM: I voted let them go... hate to do that though. I would for sure kill them if they were near my chickens though! If out coyote hunting or even just out hunting, I will kill any yote I see.

Title: Re: Bowling for baby yotes
Post by: Atroxus on September 12, 2011, 08:05:36 PM: I would pull over, get far enough off the road to be legal, and hope that they moved in a direction to give me a clear/legal shot at them. But that wasn't an option on the poll.
