First Yote
« on: October 28, 2007, 09:55:00 PM »
This gal came through while I was deer hunting this morning. Passed by at about 40 yards and then circled around and came back a few minutes later at 25yards.  The fire button in my brain went off and I decided I wanted to shoot.  The skin is now salted and I'll see if I can make a decent looking hide out of her.

The only good coyote is a dead coyote! And the pelts are worth a bit now.

 Very nice harvest, killing a 'yote with my bow is one of my life goals----and have tried many times to get it done, too. Very elusive and wiley creature.

 Congratulations on a what could be a once in a lifetime kill.

You have accomplished a tough feat.  I've taken a couple of coyotes with a bow, but I reckon it was more lucky than anything.

I disagree with the "only good coyote is a dead coyote" sentiment.  Although I have, and will, hunt them, I couldn't imagine the West without them.  I live two long bow shots from the coast fork of the Willamette River. Lately of an evening if I've stoked the fire a bit more than I should and need to crack a window for air, I can hear the nightly congregation called to order.  Occasionally, I slip outside after the girls have gone to bed, and cut through the corner of the neighbors field to the larger pasture along the river's edge.  If the moon is full and the sky is clear, like it's been the last few nights in the great state of Western Oregon, I'll catch a glimpse of the song dogs as they lope by.

Would hate to lose those times.

I like to hear them myself. It stirs something deep within me. The call of the wild? I dunno.Maybe I'm just envious cause they're on their nightly hunt and I'm getting ready for bed cause I gotta go to work. MAybe it's all the above, can't exactly put my finger on it.
