Coyote Hunters

[22-250fanatic]

I kill a few coyotes every year and the most of them I leave lay, the pelts weren't very good this year. I am having one mounted that I did kill last year that had a good coat. I don't think that leaving them lay is any worse than the deer that die and aren't found or a dead cow from a farmer. To me they aren't worth anything other than the pursuit and knowing you outwitted a very intelligent animal, that is on the rare occasion that you do outwitt one. I've went home many times without firing a shot but that one time that a coyote comes to my call is so exciting that I will go out 20 times ohter times and not get discouraged. If I had the opportunity to deer hunt or coyote hunt, I'd go coyote hunting every time. I am completely hooked.
