Coyotes

[Rut2much]

What was being advertised? Pretty sure sconis are not going to come shoot coyotes and if they did would help the resources. If killing coyotes is what they want to do SD will welcome them with open arms.

Coyote hunters are the pike fisherman of the hunting world, it's all good!
I just seem to get more excited seeing a coyote than a deer these days, that's all.. They must plan coyote hunting vacations for weeks on end for the last few years where I hunt but that's their right and I respect that. No hard feelers

A few years back around the Keene area a few ranchers were having problems the state trapper came out and in one trip of the plane over one ranchers land they shot 14 yotes in a couple hours a plane and buckshot can do a number on yotes I want that job lol how does one become a state trapper

I'm pretty sure that program is run through the USDA

Practice not shooting your wings off.

Shoot em all. I don't care where the hunters come from. They are everywhere.

Are you sure it was the state trappers that truly knocked them down that much. Know a couple guys that used to do that and sure they get them fairly decent but there are just not enough of them to make a big over all difference. Normally around here if they go from thick to thin in a short amount of time it's the mange that got most of them not the hunters and trappers. As far as mange goes it doesn't appear to be much of an issue right now because that's one of the main reasons I'm spotting these things is they're so damn light compared to the pasture ground behind them that they stand out almost glowing from a quarter mile away if the sun is hitting them.

yep..Im sure

yep state trappers fly out here all the time on one big ranch they killed 21 in a day last year
