There was a "Furtakers" episode where the guys used decoy dogs, seemed like a neat idea,
Cant wait to get out and try my hand at some predator hunting.

Would like to try my luck at this type of hunting.

All depends on the year, we have got pennies for some hides not in the best shape.....Should be a good year for fur prices I think......
I found them to make good targets when deer hunting. We saw several during our controlled muzzle loader hunt, so I finally decided to put the smack down on one. This is the result of smokeless powder and a PR Bullet .40 cal 260 grain bullet at a hundred yards.
Was deer hunting my 40 acre apple orchard the other morning and seen a coyote chasing a small doe.. But the coyote made one bad mistake.. She stop in my shooting lane about 30 yrds out.. One less female coyote in the Mount Hope area ;) Only thing is I skinned her but don't have a fleshing knife... does anyone know of anyone that takes coyote pelts? She was a nice color and very clean looking with a nice white belly. If anyone knows of someone that takes the coyote pelt please let me know thanks One Shot..
What would a coyote den look like if you came across it? Always seem to hear tons in the area and I'd like to knock a few off if I knew where they were based out of
Coyotes only use their dens after mating to have their young, it could be anything, a hole dug into a bank , under root stumps , under piles of trees /brush pushed into a fence line .Quote:

The Black Bear hunt is over in this area on Sunday evening,so,out come the centerfires and the blaze orange goes into the backpack for Monday morning. We saw a good number of Coyotes during the Deer hunt. This should be a good year. Hopefully,the pelts are in good condition and the prices stay decent.
Lisa of coyote tracks here... interestingly the tracks went to a carrot pile.... seemed like the coyote was eating carrots? No rabbit tracks around... just coyote...
