Coyote Hunting??

....sounds like a conspiracy..












...theroy.
 
I call bull to that the NC wildliife did it and there is info on that on many web sites. They did release the red wolf and I have seen a few that get in traps. The yote moved in from other states on there own, maybe better food (deer) over many years and you are just now hearing about it. If that did release them that would mean that the other states that had them long before us did the same?
 
The story I've always heard is the coyote's escaped from a pen out in Woodleaf, back during Hurricane Hugo. Considering the same thing happened with animals from the Lazy 5 over here in Mt. Ulla, I can believe it.
 
Well urban legend that I am used to hearing is that the coyotes were made by the government in a lab and they have microchips embedded in them to track their movements via GPS and hunting formations so we can use this same strategy in the war...... :flipoff2:


Lets go hunting!!!

The places that we sell to, (Trappers) run pins for training dogs and the word is that they had a lot over time coming in from other areas and stocked the pins. Then over time the get out and have 6-12 in a litter and you end up with what we have now. I know some trappers that have got 40-60 easy in there traps.
 
It hasn't taken very long at all. My first contact with them were in Woodleaf (Rowan County) back in 1997 and supposedly they were hunting them earlier than that. Nothing like sitting around a campfire, drinking some beer and hearing a few start up a howlin closer than what you want them to be. :poop:

We have a few living where we deer hunt in Davie County. They've only been seen a couple of times, mostly by the farmer working the fields. It's pretty much shoot on site right now.
 
good luck on the hunting. coyotes are very smart. try using a locator call and see if there are any in the area (howl or siren). make sure if you use a electronic caller to sit down wind of it, maybe 30 to 50 yards. use a cottontail distress or rodent distress, since they are come in this region. also, control your scent as good as possible. as for selling the pelts, the fur prices are down right now. last year for a grey fox, you could get about $40 for it. this year it's about $20, which is still good. i can remember about 7 years ago, a grey fox would only bring $3. in this region grey foxes bring the most, except for mink. the guy up here who buys pelts, won't touch a coyote unless you skin it. then you only get about $15. and as for the bounties someone mentioned. halifax county-$50, pittslyvania county-none, and henry county-$25. it depends on the county. also, you are supposed to kill the dog in that county. good luck :beer:
 
I do not believe NC ever released them, however I KNOW Tennesssee did in 85-87.
Also SC had a proposal on the books to release wild yotes to control nuisance white tail pops in 92 but it was shot down

that makes sense as they seem to have moved from west to east.

i know ive read that they are non native to anywhere east of the mississippi river and that they "magically" appeared over here 20 or so years ago. i seriously doubt that after X hundred years they decided to swim that vast expance just for shits and giggles.

it doesnt matter to me tho, they make for a lot of fun when the deer arent moving. they are soooooooooo much fun to shoot with the AR.:sniper:
