KnotSlip,

" What's the purpose of hunting coyotes? Can/do you eat them? Is it strictly for sport? Population control? "

#1) It's a Blast and see below...
#2) Yes, but I don't.
#3) For most hunters...yes, although there are full time Predator Control Agents working all over the country to keep numbers in check and to protect many Livestock Rancher's way of life.
#4) The coyote is one of the most adaptive and successful animals on the planet....rumor has it that after the nukes are let loose...only coyotes and cockroaches will be left. Although their numbers are high, they are VERY difficult to hunt (Trapping is much more effective, but still difficult on educated animals).


Wiggitty,

" i like your t/c. nice set up. "

Thanks...it makes for a nice compact calling rifle! It's the most accurate rifle in my safe. It's wrapped in vet/pet wrap and the muzzle is taped for winter in the picture above.

Thanks for not hammering about the goofy camo glasses...they were last minute gas station replacements after losing my good set. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Here's a few more pictures of him, the terrain and the drive home...
