X2. I swear they can smell rifle shells 2 miles away.

I'm sure there are tougher challenges but so far my toughest challenge personally has been calling in and shooting coyotes. I seem to have better luck shooting them when the opportunity arises while hunting something else rather than specifically targeting them. I'm sure there's something to be learned in that...

I am going to go with coyotes too, right around the house, close to the property line, on camera and at a time when we are around and we still have not seen more than a shadow of them.

Yotes for sure...but at times more than you can shoot at...

Plenty of cougars have been shot at in Ontario. Just not the four legged kind........

For me, it has to be the species I just missed.

[Another vote for the Evil Southern Grouse. Most of them flush away when they hear your vehicle pull up to a cover. It's like they are a completely different specie from the fool's hens you can kill with a sand wedge up North.

Another vote for the southern grouse, finding one is not so bad but hitting one on the wing is a different story.

Yotes...........very smart

Given that I have but one coyote down in the last 3 yrs I have to say this is the most challenging hunt. Given that they are in season in Eastern Ontario 365 days a year they are cunning beyond words. If i were to do a ratio of hours spent to success it is an easy calculation.

The Evil Southern Grouse gets my vote.

Wolf....
