when do ya stop

[okcoyote]

i was just curious.................


when do most of you quit calling.................or better yet,when do you stop killing coyotes.. i told a rancher that i was finished for this season as i was intent on giving em a rest so they could get on with their mating...he said not to let em mate as they was enuff of em as is.....

I sure wouldn't say that to many ranchers. They generally don't care much about the time of year or young in the den. They want them gone!

This is a great time of year to call. I sure don't worry about their sex lives.........

I think you might lay off during denning season if you are not doing predator control for someone....more targets for next fall. This is very much a personal choice.

A word of warning......This subject tends to get emotional quickly and I will not let a p*ssing match get started over this here.

Hey okcoyote,

All you did was ask a legitimate question. I just wanted to head off any unreasonable responses. I am sure some more members will chime in.......

Good Hunting,

Bob

Good call, Bob...... wouldn't mind seeing different points of view so long as it was positive......

As most of you know, here in Texas there is no end to coyote season as in many of the other (puny) states. . IMNSHO, so long as it is not against the law, then go for it......

[okcoyote]

hey bobcat...............

i see what u mean by not wanting to start a p*ssing contest... now icm has just went and called our state puny..... for what reason i do not know........well icm i was born in dallas , my wife was born in san angelo, my three children were born in wichita falls. i love the state of texas..... i just happen to work in this puny state.....BUT your state is puny too,icm...............compared to alaska... i am just funnin' some. i hope no body is offended if so i apologize.

Dang Bob, I was just fixing to get out my commercial pot stirrer!! ;D In the past week I have talked with two ranchers/landowners that asked me how long I hunted coyotes and if if bothered me hunting them during the denning season. Not I said the yr round hunter!! ;D ;D Have truck and ammo - will travel!

[Bobcat]

captkb,

Yeah, that is the same with most of the ranchers I know as well.

I like your answer there Kurt, but I usually shut down around April. I'll keep hunting if a ranch has problems.
Should have been with Tommy and I Friday night,,,,,lots of snow !!!! I called in 2 cats on the last stand for TJ. Haven't found the one he shot at yet.

[Bobcat]

Hey Bob,

Welcome back! Congrats on the hunt with TJ! That calling over snow is great.......and rare here! Too bad about the lost cat......

Good Hunting,

Bob

April but if they cause problems. like last summer when a couple of young coyote's attacked my dog's. I did some eliminating around my house in summer. in depend's on situation. take care. Rick

Whether or not to call and kill coyotes during spring and summer is a personal choice. I still get out during spring and early summer to whack a coyote or two if the weather is nice. The older I get, the nicer I prefer the weather to be when I go hunting. I prefer short walks from the truck to my stand, and I absolutely hate walking up hills anymore. Am I getting old, fat and soft? YEP!
