HONEST QUESTION: RE: Shooting a Coyote while you're on a sit for Deer...

[grfox92]

I was sitting a ridge hunting migratory mule deer this year when a beautiful blonde Coyote came strolling by at 100 yards. I didn't shoot him. I regret it because I would have tanned him and had him on the back of my couch right now and I didn't see any deer that day anyway.

I have shot them but honestly 99% I just watch and let them pass. Shooting 1 or even a handful of yokes won't really do anything meaningful to help a deer herd. Most researcher says hitting them hard before the fawns hit the ground does the most good. Most of the areas I hunt (public or private) are trying to take off a ton of deer anyways. If I'm hunting my buddies place and he asks me to shoot yotes, sure, I like to keep him happy.

Chalk me up in the kill coyotes always camp. Shooting suppressed really doesn’t bother Gabe around where I’m at. They don’t just up and leave. So everything I have a tag for is fair game when I’m in the woods.

Archery, but shot this coyote and then 15 minutes later shot this buck while he was sniffing the coyote. If anything, it helped, otherwise he might or just cruised through (was rutted up).
