Coyote's suck

Fog was horrible this morning in Troup County. I didn't hear a single gobble (which makes a bad season even worse) This little yote came in out of now where in the fog, walked up and put his nose right on my hen decoy. I clicked the safety and he took one step and I busted him. One less Turkey and Fawn killer out there.


The second picture was one my bosses dad killed. Who says Coyote's won't get a Gobbler. He was coming in hot and just shut up then this guy popped out and he killed him.

Good shooting!

So the 2nd one threw the turkey up after the shot?

what???? He ran by with it in his mouth from where he had just caught it.

Good shooting gentlemen!

Coyotes got to eat too I know I just wish they had a strict squirrel diet

I have been hunting a cow pasture with birds always around and coyotes also.They are feeding on dead cows they have dug up. This flock has not gobbled at all this year, I see the yotes around the pasture very early before it gets good light. Twice they have tried to get my decoys. I got 2 shots at one running very fast toward the decoys. I missed the first shot trying to hit him in the head. It was very wet that morning so I could see where the shot hit about 6-12 inches in front. He turned back and at about 70 yards I shot him in the rear. He then turned right and was gone. These birds have made a loud purring sound all this season instead of gobbling even on the roost. I know it is the toms as I saw two doing it at about 75 yards that would not come to my decoys. They just strutted around for a couple of minutes then went back to the hens. I have heard this loud purring sound countless times this year on other flocks also. I have been busted at least 5 times this year with birds coming in from the rear making this same sound. I think the yotes are the reason they have not gobbled around here. I have had only one that gobbled this year and I mean he was hot. To make this short he busted me too by passing me and I tried to get in a position to shoot and I think he saw my gun as he came up a high road bank. Flew out below the bank. He also after gobbling about 8 times while coming up the road very fast when I cut him twice started clucking very loudly and making this purring sound also. This is not a woods road but a paved road with light traffic. Oh well I am learning I think.

Squirrel, opossum, racoon and armadillo.

Good shootin!

I want you to save that picture for all of the folks (many that are turkey hunters) can see that coyotes do catch turkeys.. I have killed many over the years while hunting turkeys.. Some say 'no they don't catch a grown turkey"! My question always has been 'why do they come to my turkey call?" Way to go...!!

A friend saw one catch a turkey on the fly down.

They will for sure get birds. That second picture is a bird with 1" spurs. Typical my luck the Coyote Cull contest came out today after I threw him in the ditch.

I've killed a coyote and a bobcat both since friday. Both while turkey hunting

I shot another one Saturday morning. I can't get the picture to upload though. He ran in and attacked my decoy before I could get the shot off. Had a stutter at 100yds all of a sudden he turned around and that coyote popped out
