O/T Coyotes

We drive around the area on the roads and try to spot coyotes.

When we find one we all come to that section and surround it.

We know the area well enough and done thus enough years that we know the likly escape routes.

We sneek guys into the escape areas on foot and the others try to drive the coyotes toward them.

Most times the coyote will circle and leave the section the way he came in if he suppects no one is waiting for him.

We use 2way radios to keep each other informed of where he is and where he is heading.

Doesn't always work but we get alot of them this way.

The last two winters we have gotten 29 or 30 total within 3 miles of my house. Gary

Were pretty open around here.

I can hit them better at 400 to 500 yards sitting still than at 100 yards when there on the move.

This is how we stop the pests.

Actually, the HOW is what the picture specifically fails to make clear. Good picture, though.

All the best, Stan

Which of the people in the picture is you?

The DNR does not care for the coyotes also.

They kill to many small game animals and birds.

For that reason they allow us to use 2 way radios,trucks and rifles to shoot them. And continuous open season.

The reason for shotguns during deer season is because there are so many hunters and houses they don't want the bullets to travel so far.

Oh and for which one am I. That would be the good looking one. Or the far right if you can't tell.Lol

Seriously, if your state will let you hunt them, shooting or shooting at coyotes is the only way to really keep them afraid and away from you. There are lots more coyotes than needed in my country, and I shoot at them every chance I get. They are not the easiest target though.

There used to be devices that used a shotgun shell that a coyote would set off when it tried to take bait, and that would blow the coyote's head off. I think they were called "coyote getters", but they may not be legal or available anymore. If you use them, make sure your insurance is paid up, you could get the wrong animal.

Is there any money in raising sheep anymore? Other than a few raised for 4-H and FFA, I don't think there are any around here anymore. 30 years ago, we used to see flocks of sheep working the poorer pasture areas in my state, but I don't think I have seen a flock of any size for many years.

Good luck!

Two Llamma bond with each other and could give a darn about the sheep.

One female Llamma bonds with the sheep and wants to protect her "pack"

One male Llamma hits puberty, and well, y'all were in high school what the one thing on his mind becomes. Sheep are white, wooly, and four-legged which is good enough for a Llamma with "beer googles" on :)
