Fawns are dropping and the coyotes know it
Went out for a walk with the hound today. He is 13 years old and still pretty spry for his age. Well 1/4 mile into the bush we come upon 3 coyotes feeding on a fresh kill. I was not armed but hound didn't care, he is a walker/rotti cross and hates yotes with a passion. He charged right away and scattered them and then was gone for 2 hours chasing and doing what he was born to do. Sooner or later his age will catch up to him. Pretty sure i won't have to ever put him down as he is out most nights keeping them away from the house and i have no doubt his age will trip him up sooner or later. Anyways the fresh kill was a pretty new fawn:
Foot (Size 9) in pic for scale. I collected what was left and buried it down 3 feet with the backhoe to keep them away:

No Disney in the real world.

The wilderness is not a stadium where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, it is the cathedral where I worship.

I haven't seen any Coyotes while Turkey hunting,yet,which is really rare for 73. There's no shortage of Deer. There's tracks everywhere.
If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and nobody hears it,you should probably still get rid of your chainsaw. Just sayin'....

Take your rifle with you for yote medicine. I kill every one can !

great time of year to shoot the coyotes... fawn in distress works well, especially around some fresh cut hay fields
