    "Eat lamb, a million coyotes can't be wrong"

    It has nothing to say about the quality of lamb for the table, but the love coyotes have for them and the problems coyotes cause for those raising sheep, even cattle as coyotes will attack and kill calves even knowing that they are most vulnerable while they are being birthed as the cow has no defenses then. In some areas of the west they still employ aerial gunners to try and lower the coyote numbers. Coyotes have moved into some our cities and kill pet cats and dogs. Where I used to live in Washington state coyotes would lie in wait in the sand dunes along the beach and run out and grab pets as the people walked them. They are very adaptable and can live on just about anything, when I would hunt around apple orchards, you would find scat with apple peels and around truck farms bright orange scat full of carrot, they love grapes and when times are hard eat Russian olives. Down on the desert cactus and mesquite beans but most of all they like meat in just about any form.

    Coyotes have beautiful fur and I hunt them for the fur during the winter. They are also pretty much the symbol of the western US, they is nothing like sitting in your camp at night hearing coyotes howl across the land scape. Each family will howl back and forth to each other to keep tract of each other, they will howl and bark to warn other coyotes out of their territory and sometimes I think the howl just to hear themselves howl, kind of like us singing in the shower.

    They say when the world come to an end there will only be coyote and cockroaches left until the coyotes eat all the cockroaches.

    Pardon my ignorance but I have to ask could you interpret these so a poor yank might get and idea what they are?

    graboids, shreekers and assblasters

    Nevada is a great place to hunt coyotes as there is no license required. The Predator Masters and online club I belong to has a convention in NV where predator hunters from around the country gather for 4 days to swap stories, hunting techniques, hunt together and share food and drinks in the evening.

    This past convention I was able to take two new hunters out and put them on their first coyotes, one fellow from ID I only got to hunt with one day but he shot fine and killed the coyote I called in for him. The next couple days he hunted with some other hunters and was able to shoot his first double and also his first coyote with a shotgun.

    My nephew brought a new hunter from UT along and I was able to put some coyotes in front of him, he did miss the first two but finally got settled in and killed his first, the next day a double(two called in on the same stand) and the following day the his fourth. Both are thoroughly hooked on coyote hunting.

    Kia ora AWS, good to see you and I look forward to your stories and anecdotes. I know not much about coyotes, can you tell me more? My wife is an Aussie, and she tells a good story about fighting off a pack of dingos who had their minds their mind set on eating the milking cows new calf. She was 10 years old at the time, and armed with a bucket, but still managed to win the match. Not an Azaria Chamberlain repeat (same era) luckily. Would this technique work against coyotes?

    Give an angry woman a bucket and it becomes a formidable weapon. It would work against a coyote too.

    Have a question @AWS you say you call them in. What with if you don’t mind me asking.
    I call in Fox’s here in the UK where I live at present but I use a SILVA fox call from Australia works a treat.
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JDtQhCkeIeY Here’s a utube from OZ on it. Thought it might be handy for you.
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
