I would try to keep it for a bit, it would be highly educational at the very least. I have raised almost every type of wildlife around here from young (I am licensed to do so) and it can be very rewarding. No matter how tame you can make it it will still eventually turn into a typical coyote though...

Coyote Pup

I got a question for you guys who know something about coyotes. It seems I'm up to my eyeballs in them here. This morning I heard a whining sound under my house, so, figuring it was my neighbor's little dog sneaked under the fence, I went out to put her back over in her yard. When I got there, I fou...

It's not very cold here, but when it gets that way I wear the merino wool socks or the blend, neither of them itch.

LV2HUNT, now that you mentioned the coyotes following your dad, I thought about when I have seen them while still hunting. All but the last one was when I was backtracking out of an area. I don't think they are stalking us so much as they are hoping we will get a kill or drop some morsel for them to...

Shoot a deer and then hunt the coyotes over the gut pile for the next few days :wink: .
I dragged that last coyote away from the food plot and down a different way from the stand about 100 yards from where I sit. As of yesterday, no coyotes. Do I need to call them or just wait?

Where I deer hunt is loaded with turkeys, which seem to attract the coyotes. The last 2 times out I have wound up shooting a coyote. Maybe if I start hunting coyotes I will shoot a deer. :)

First Hunt

Yesterday I took my 4 year old girl out on her first hunt. We didn't see any deer, but she was very quiet and sat longer than I thought. http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t290/BigTiny2014/DSC04697.jpg Apparently, the thrill of the hunt was just too much for her! http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...

You will most likely find the sow in the AM. Those babies should still be nearby. If you leave them and they are small, the coyotes will get them. Down here, our solution to this problem is called "cochon de lait". Ain't nothing wrong with that! :D

This time of year is especially bad for burglaries and home invasions. One year I had to respond to 3 separate home invasions in one night by myself. Why no backup? It was because my fellow officers were out doing the same thing. The last 2 in the district got a cop on the scene over an hour after d...

Looks like they got the appropriate punishment without the hassle of the trial. Win/Win scenario.

I get the deer cut up as quickly as possible and once it is quartered, I leave it in the cooler in ice water to bleed out. I drain it twice a day and put more ice in once per day. I keep doing that until the water comes out light pink. An older guy at my church who used to be a butcher told me to do...
