Anybody Coyote Hunting?

[Akkbar]

This fall and winter I'm going to be doing some coyote hunting. They killed my friend's horse last year, so it's payback time. From what I hear, Alberta and Saskatchewan are grossly overpopulated... due partly to the grossly overpopulation of gophers.

Anybody else into this or am I (again) the lone firearms enthusiast?
My hunting buddies are all hookah lovers too (thanks to me). Our trips are going to be great! If anyone here wants to get in on the action, I could put them up for a weekend in the spare room.

A few of us linger..

I have never been coyote hunting. Sounds like fun, only thing I hate about hunting is its always in the damn winter. Only thing good about winter is snowboarding/skiing. Hunting needs to become a summer activity. Atleast for Deer.

coyotes can be had year round. but in the winter, they get nice soft winter coats, which means i get a nice soft winter hat. plus i can make a buck or two on the pelts

I lived in Ontario Canada, for a year.
You fellows are crazy! Shoot anything that moves! I(was 8yrs old at the time) used to go hunting with a few friends and my dad.
We lived in a small mining town called Manitouwadge right up in the sticks.

When the hunters used to shoot anything substantial like Moose or a Bear, they used to tie it on
the roof-rack of thier vehicles, and run around town honking thier horns, whislt the blood had to be
washed off the windscreens with their wipers.!

Beautiful country and such nice people,
Need to visit sometime.

I saw a roadkill Coyote yesterday on my way to Southern California, if that counts =p. I think someones Hummer probably did most of the hunting though.

Um, on behalf of civilized Canadians (the vast majority) and hunters in general I appologize. There are lots of backwards hicks up here, but most of us who hunt actually aren't too bad.

what do you intend to use on the coyotes? .223 seems to be a popular choice, as well as other rounds chambered for the Ar-15 (.300 whisper etc.)

[Akkbar]

im going to give my sks a try (7.62 x 39). My friend is bringing a rifle in .204 Ruger

Ah, we're happy with the single pelt my mom refers to as "the dog."

[ghostofdavid]

I've never been hunting before in my life. Unless you count birds with BB Guns when I was like 7.

I'd love to lend my M1 Garand that my great grandfather gave me, unfortunately I live in Florida, and am ill equipped for sub 70's temp heheh

M1 Garand would blow the poor thing into oblivion! Plus, the pelt may be so shredded that it wont be as valuble

Quite the opposite, the critter is too thin, unless it's using a sabot round the big-ol '06 would just pop a nice little .30" hole in one side and out the other.... likely leaving you on a chase for the half-dead coyote.
