robwelsh 354 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 im supprised theyd even run from a dog lol, their about 3-4 times the size the fox Quote Link to post
jezza 126 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 great pictures, looked like an action packed day out, by the looks of these and from reading articles ect i believe the size of some coyotes comes from breeding with wolves to produce these specimens you are catching. Best of look for tomorrow! Quote Link to post
longbow 14 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Thanks for sharing the pics, looks like top dog sport! I spent 1994 in the states, we tried to shoot some troublesome coyotes one night with a "stake out". I sat in a freezing pick up over looking a dead cow for hours. It was about minus 15c that night & by the time the coyote pitched up I was too cold to shoot or care. Needless to say no coyotes were harmed as a result of my hunting activities! In those pre internet days I never came across anyone hunting with dogs in the US - Rifles being so freely available I suppose. How do you get the Quarry out in the open like that? Do you just drive around till you spot them? Your technique looks a heck of a lot more exciting than the freezing pick up "stake out" Thanks again Quote Link to post

tom1cat 18 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 The yellow looking one was prolly 40# and the other one I'm holding was 46#. For some reason this year they are heavier than in the past. We took the pic to show the different color phases-every color from black to blonde. I drive and spot them and send the dogs to em from the road, some of the races are over a mile and are a blast to watch thru the binocs. We also run em with hounds and I'll circle a couple miles away from the hounds and catch the pushouts that get nervous when the hounds are running. If the hounds bay one and can't get to him I send a stag to knock him down or jerk him out and the hounds help finish or I'll catch one ahead of the hounds to stop a race because of a dangerous road or posted property. The one thing that is certain about em is when your dogs catch one he will make a good account of himself anyway he can! In the summer when we run at night in the corn with the hounds they get really brave. If your hounds don't suck it up the coyotes will run em to the truck or kill em. We have very few red foxes thanks to the coyotes, it seems what few we have all den under buildings close to a house or in town. A coyote will eat about anything, I caught an old male last week that had about a gallon of shelled corn in him. They are amazing animals, and provide my dogs a lot of fun! <>LP Quote Link to post
Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I've also seen the shelled corn thing before TC and it blew my mind. I think I seen it three times now if my memory serves me. Kinda odd. Quote Link to post
