Coyote managment

I "managed" this one up in state road last year. Heading out this weekend with my dad and a friend to manage a few more. Have 12 spots lined up to hit in two days.

I like how they are constantly denying that the state released coyotes. I have heard from several wardens that they did in fact release coyotes here. Now, I cant say for sure as I wasnt there, but when even the boots on the ground are saying it happened, and the state has to constantly deny it, seems like they are covering it up.

Middle of the day so wasn't dark. Said it was all black and BIG, like the size of Sarge (he is 100lbs). Our two boys saw it too.

Probably a dog. Cougars are tawny brown. Black panthers are actually black leopards, and live in Brazil.

The state has a long history of releasing animals that are not native here and then denying they did it when shit goes wrong. Coyotes are not the only folly on the state's part.
 
Speaking of coyote hunting. My FIL sent this scope home with me.

Yea I did all the research on them as well, although there have been black cats spotted out west. Middle of the day and she slammed on the brakes to about hitting it, and then watched it run across a field. I can't say what she saw but it would be awesome if it was a black panther.
 
If the states really wanted to get rid of them, they'd offer a bounty.

$10 per right paw turned in.

Sure, the woods would get mighty dangerous for about a year as every welfare check crashing redneck is out there blasting away at anything that moves. And I would recommend not letting your dogs roam free. But it'd do wonders to start trimming their numbers.

May be expensive program for a while, but compared to the damage they are doing, I'd figure it's worth it.

Cherokee reservation has a bounty on them.

There is also a local gun/gas station that does a coyote round up I think still. It was 25 bucks to get in on it.
250 for the heaviest
250 for the most at the end of the time
25 for black
I believe they had some usda funding to do it as well

Me and my old roommate weren’t allowed to compete because he worked for the usda (he was who they checked the coyotes into) but we use to do a number on coyotes.

Ah, I just got to the Bounty part of the Coyote Management Plan.

They explain why it wouldn't work and the cost/benefit ratios.

This is a pretty good read, I figure these people know best and it's been really informative and interesting so far.

I have seen a black panther personally along with 4 other people in the group out in the Caney Fork area of Jackson county near WCU.
 
remember the 'official' statement about NC big cats is (read between the lines) 'there are no mating wild pairs' but yes that being said I have put my hands on a still warm; mountain lion that came from Three Top area above Boone. kid that shot it with a bow; how bout that for close? he was packing up from practicing up there and got crept up on. his mom worked for me and he brought it to her to show her.

guess all the ones that escape from homes/zoos etc forget how to get busy?

guys that shoot other guys in the woods are not 'hunters'. they are idiots with guns. big difference.
 
Like chuckman said I don’t think there are breeding pairs in nc.... yet. Tennessee wildlife had confirmed several breeding pairs threw out the state. A mountain lion male can have a home Range of up to 400 square miles. A cougar from the Everglades that was radio collard was hit in northern Georgia. The animals stay on the move and there is plenty of wild areas for them to be with just a few passing threw. And don’t say it would be seen right away. An elk left catalochee valley and wasn’t seen again till it popped up in easly sc. I saw a big cat and it was extremely dark in color not going to say black, but a lot darker then what is seen out west put that with being seen at dusk or dawn you could say that it was black and be confident in yourself saying that.
And just because something has a home range doesn’t mean it stays in it juveniles would be pushed out of that range and travel till they found themselves a new range.

I think that the reason more people don’t hunt coyote is you can’t eat them, electronic calls are expensive and most people are hunters during deer and turkey season and that’s it. They aren’t managing their land or the animals they are hunting unless it season to hunt them. Most people will spend a weekend maybe two a year putting in a food plot on their hunting land but that’s about the most an Average hunter will do during out of season time.

Oh the one I seen was so black @CasterTroy would claim it on his taxes.
 
@shawn just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean they don't exist :)

I don't know what it was they saw but all three of them (ages 32, 5, and 3 haha) thought it was a cat. Black Panthers (yes I know, jaguars) don't exist in north America supposedly, but they have been spotted out west. Cats roam, there is no reason one (or 20) could not make its way up from South America.

With a reward for a lifetime hunting license if you kill a specific one that has been tagged by the state.

Right, not quite a bounty. You have to kill a tagged yote to win. It should just be an all out bounty with the tags as bonus rewards.

I've heard, that if you have a butcher nearby that will sell you pig blood by the gallon. That if you cut up natural sponges into roughly 2x2x2 chunks and soak them in the blood and then throw them about the property, they will decimate a coyote herd in days.

Now sponging is illegal in SC and certainly painful and torturous to these animals so I'd never do it. But I do know for a fact that a bunch of dead coyote will stink up a farm for about a month. Not even the buzzards will eat the foul vermin

Strips of tobacco sheet or burlap works too.

Painful way to go, almost as painful as being eaten alive like some goats and sheep I have found.
