I have some coyote on the land i hunt, has someone killed a coyote on a deer hunt.
Just about got a shot at four this weekend... I couldnt get them to close inside of 30 yards. I kept trying to "squeek" them in a couple more steps but the biggest one wouldnt budge and the others werent goin unless he did.. So the long answer to your question is NO... unfortunately
I've killed 7 yotes with the bow. All while deer hunting.
I'm not a hunter yet. I am curious about why you would want to kill a coyote.

well some places pay u a nice pennt if u send them thier fur....but from my knollege some farmers hate them...for messing with thier cattle and such
Also to answer the "why shoot coyote" question, they have a pretty good hand in fawn mortality during the spring birthing season. They scare deer during the season and generally they just get me agitated!!
Ive killed them while deer hunting as well, in fact Ill pass on all but a real dandy deer just to shoot a coyote.
coyotes are extremely rough on the small game population..especially bunnies.. plus they like to eat cats and small dogs in subdivisions... i havent killed one with a bow yet ..but will take every chance i get...then i'll skin it and hang the fur over my sons bed..
Is there a coyote season or can you hunt them all year?
There are many reasons to hunt coyotes.
While you can not blame them for doing what comes naturally, they do need to have their populations controlled like many other wild species.
For instance, coyotes ate my neighbors Jack Russels, all three of them. Nothing left but a little blood. While I do not fault the coyote, there is a problem when they begin to over- populate and look for easier meals due to scarce resources.
Some might say we have encroached on their home ground, but this area is very sparsley populated and that is not the case in this instance. There is very little infringement onto "their territory". When hunting this area, I seldom go without seeing a coyote. I too would take a coyote if the opportunity presented itself. Regulation of a species is far superior to overpopulation and disease.
Just My Opinion,

Because when they come into my yard to attack our pets they need to learn their manners. When they eat 60 sheep on a 150 acre farm in 10 months (after I took 3 out in two trips that problem was solved) then they need their eating habits changed. After seeing young calves turned inside out in one night they become expensive to the farms I hunt on. Because they are just plain fun to hunt.
YES!
I had one fall to my shotgun deer hunting once. But last year I had one terrorizing a blackbird in a cornfield and he finaly got about 12 yards away and I started to draw on him and he noticed movement but wasn't sure what it was. Any way he saw me and stopped behind some twigs from the tree I was in. I thought I had a hole big enough to squeeze it through but when I let it fly the arrow kicked sideways and the fletching smacked him right in face. He jumped 6 feet straight in the air and was off like a rocket. Never saw him again.
depends on where you are about the season... but I ave never been anywhere when you could not shoot one during deer season...
