Keep us posted looper, this is gettin good.

I have to say that those things are pretty hard to kill with a bow. They make deer look like idiots.

A long time ago, my buddy and I had a running battle in with one that was working the area we were deer hunting. I got a 20 yard shot at him while sneak hunting through the woods and missed. My buddy shot at him from a stand and missed, and he saw the same yote the next day trotting through the same area looking up in trees and busted my buddy from 50 yards away. They ain't stupid.

I have coon hunted around a lot of them at night, and they don't want no part of a loudmouth 60 pound redtick gyp. They steer clear of my big girls.

Good luck, looking forward to the update tomorrow am!

Now Here's a good dog!

http://www.komar.org/faq/dog-versus-coyote/

I have two German Shepherds that love chasing Coyotes. They are too fast though. One time I had  one trapped in front of my car down a dirt road and we got over 40mph before he jumped out of the way. I didn't want to run over him...just see how fast he could go.

I have a JRT also and knowing their temperament is probably what saved him. That yoke was lookin for an easy meal, but chose the wrong dog to mess with.
That being said I be after that yoke with extreme prejudice. Good luck at getting him.

Good dog for sure........but a mite on the heavy side to try something so "athletic"!!!!  

This joker is past due for a skinning. Be sure to get post-action pictures. Can't wait to hear how this goes down.

Yeah, keep us posted if you would.

I`m glad he didn`t get your dog.

We have a mini Daschound that almost got caught by a big male `yote this past winter. My eight yr old daughters` screams brought him to a stop.
A .45 grain balistic tip bullet kept him to a stop. My daughter wraps her feet in his hide when she watches tv, and the weiner dog does not slip under the fence into the field any more.

I truely hope you get to make a quiver from him.

If you wait till he has his winter coat, you might be missing your little buddy sitting on your lap this winter.  I would take him the first chance you can.

All right, the bait is hung and the game camera is positioned.  We'll see if my little test works.  We had a pretty good storm blow through, so he might be making his prowl a little later than usual.

I sat out there for an hour, but my confounded glasses kept fogging up.  There's just enough light from the DOT lot to see fairly well.  It's a little better than seeing with a full moon, but not much.

I would kill that coyote ASAP with my shot gun and BB"s ... One of my neighbors lost two small dogs to a coyote last year, I shot it the next morning with my shot gun and BB"s ... called it in using a rabbit call at first light.

My best hunting buddy lost his favorite Jack Russel to a pack of coyotes. Lizzie was a tough pooch but no match for three yotes, they took her down with ease.

Well, a severe storm thwarted my plans last night. After one storm blew through, I laid a scent trail with a piece of venison.  I then tied it to a tree near my blind.

I hid in my blind and blew my distress call, but in the end, only stayed out about an hour.  My glasses kept fogging up and it started lightning, so I called it a night. Several pretty significant storms blew through over the night, so I really wasn't expecting much to happen.

This morning, I went to check my bait.  It was gone, and several pics had been taken on the web cam.  I was a little excited, so I took the SD card and went back to the house to upload.

There were several pictures of mostly nothing.  I think the blowing limbs triggered the cam.  There were, however a few very interesting pics.  The bait thief revealed himself, or I should say, herself.



That would be Shelby. My fat yellow lab.  At least my scent trail worked.

Here she is again, apparently really happy about her meal.


My wife took the dogs out this morning, and didn't tell me that Shelby disappeared for a few minutes.

I feel pretty confident I'll get that coyote this weekend. If I don't see him tonight, I'll use the rabbit call in the morning.

BTW, meet Taku, with Shelby in the background.

If you don't let Taku run around without you at night let the Coyote live.. I'm not a "tree hugger" but the coyote is only being a coyote...  When the neighbors cats are gone he will move on.

Coyote no likey baby girl... Cats no likey neither. Raccoons... no likey. Skunks... especially no likey.
   

She tried to fetch me a live skunk last year. It's hard to outrun a dog.

Heh...my girl is rough on stuff, totwotoo. Nothing better than a good dawg.

I had him at 15 yards tonight, but I couldn't see well enough to shoot.  It was too difficult to make out a spot to shoot.  He came right in to my scent trail and I watched him for about a minute.  He never knew I was there. The coloring on those things makes it really difficult to see in low light.

I'm going to have to try and get him in the daylight. I think I've got a good ambush spot picked out.  The neighboring property was logged a couple of years ago and it's grown up pretty good.  There are some grassy patches in there that will make some good spots.  I'll keep you posted.

Keep at it (him)  

I've been that close to a yote myself and not able to shoot. Its a rush, isn't it? Keep on it and he'll make a nice quiver before you know it.

hey, if you can live trap that 'yote, I'll pay for shipping to my house! I've got the same situation here with neighbors' cats! I'd shoot 'em but I just woul'nt feel right shootin' a cat!

mrjsl, that is a pretty red-tick hound you have there.  When I was a youngster I had a male that looked alot like yours.
