Eastern Yotes

Sponges not burlap. Different pathway.

Around here thats the humane way.
Broken (clear) glass in ground beef is the cruel but effective method.

That's like a yote clean up but not kill.
Every yote kill I've seen has had the throat ate out
 
I was about to say the same.... That looks scavenged. When we lived in S Charlotte (Ballantyne) there were a metric shit ton of deer around the house, but they were some of the most malnourished looking critters I've ever seen.
 
I'll start this out by saying I've witnessed a coyote on my property chasing a mature doe in broad daylight.

September six yrs ago I had my property lines marked by a surveyor one Monday. I got off work Tuesday at 7am and came home and walked the lines. I found a button buck with its rear hams chewed completely off laying beside some fresh cut saplings. I called the surveyor and he never saw it. I left it and came back out Wednesday morning, the whole thing was gone, nothing but hair and tracks. I looked around for any bones or the skull and never found anything.

Fast forward to the first deer I killed last September. She was down for probably an hr and 15-30 mins before I got to her. It was a sketchy 30yd shot and from her reaction I thought I'd missed so I sat out the rest of my time. Come to find out I got her through both lungs and she didn't make it 75yds down hill. Something had helped itself to her ass before I got to her.

I'm pretty sure that same deer had a cameo on The Walking Dead.
 
35 and 37# coyotes my friend in PA trapped this past wknd. And a pissed off fisher he had the pleasure of releasing:lol:

The black cats are real. I have seen one with my own eyes.
 
2 years ago in the farm country between Micro and Selma I saw a small cougar run across the road about 75 yards in front of my Snap-on van.
There was tall beans on one side of the road and corn stalks on the other.
He was in a full run and cleared the road without touching it. His tail was as long as his body.

I told a few people and they either looked at me sideways or chuckled.

I think it will take a carcass before NCWR believes it.
 
ahh, here we go with the whole big cats thing. remember who were dealing with boys... OF COURSE there are cats out there. what they claim - and heres the rub "there are no breeding wild pairs". its how they deal with it and the public doesn't go all up in arms. about 5 years ago, myself and a sheriff were on our way to a picnic up near Grandfather mtn and one ran across the road in broad daylight. he'd seen so many, he didn't even get ruffled. about 20 years ago, I physically touched one on a truckbed that was recently shot while this guy was deer hunting (still warm). yes, there are cats in NC. all the guys here that turn in the deer cam cards with pics of them never get the cards back...

It's also convenient that the "breeding pairs" reference is hard to disprove.
 
I was talking to an old farmer this weekend and he had many stories. The best one he told me was that his dad and all of the farmers around the area at that time would meet up at the old gas station in the evenings and talk and trade stories. He went on to tell me that every time he went with his dad at least one farmer had a story of a "panther" or "large wild cat" that they had seen near a particular section of woods. One time when they left the gas station he turned to his dad and asked about all these large cat stories. He said his dad laughed and said "there are no large wild cats around, that is just where the men have their moonshine stills and they don't want anyone going down in the area" haha :D I laughed and the old farmer got a kick out of it too. I though of it as soon as I read this thread
 
When my dad was about 20 he saw a black bear on the river here in Johnston County. He was laughed at because there "are no bears in central NC" but now we know that there are. One was hit by a car in town (Smithfield) a couple years back. He also saw a bald eagle sitting on a tree limb and was laughed at about that as well. Now I see them every time I go kayaking on the Neuse and one hangs out inside the city limits (by the Little Brown Jug for you JoCo people).

There are Eastern Pumas in NC, but it will be years before the NCWR will admit it.
 
Ive got a bald eagle that frequents my swamp in Castalia. got bears there too that come by every once in awhile and rip down the tree limbos that my corn feeders hang from. why do the coyotes eat out the ol brown eye first ? why not the hams? or the backstraps? they're just as easy to get to
