Wolves

There's a few to many up here, take all you want, They'll take a few out, then the remainder will live side by side with the wolves.

Some of you that think shooting a few coyotes and the rest will leave, are a little mistaken.

TallPaul, I agree with you about the yotes not leaving.

My thoughts on this problem as it effects Beagling : Posioning, snares and traps are a poor choice unless the area is marked in such a manner that other hunters are warned and do not run dogs in the area. Unfortunately, most people fail to post warning signs that an area has traps or snares set in it or that poison bait has been set.

Some methods of controlling the predator population may even be illegile, best check with the Game and Fish Commission/DNR. Yotes are also considered to be a fur bearing animal and fur taking rules may come into play.

I much prefer to sit in a Deer Stand with a varmit rifle and use a predator call. This method of kill is safe and certain. You do not have to be concerned with your dogs or those of a neighbor or fellow dog runner getting into the snares, traps or picking up poison. Besides that, it is a fun thing to do.

Most of us know that you cannot keep yotes away by scareing them. A family or pack of yotes claim a home range consisting of several square miles. As food becomes scarce, they may only hunt the same area once every two weeks and then promarily during the hours of darkness. Young yotes will move about in late evenings about a hour before dark. The eat rabbits too so "Shootum".

buddy sent you a pm on the ukc site about my haul had to push it back until thur. the 6th so I could drop off some dogs at the grand american but anyways if you need a call to pull those coyotes in I will give you one to use when I pick up that pup. Also if you know anyone that needs a beagle moved when I come your way let me know my trailer looks to be full but I should have some room in my dog box in the truck. thanks Todd Hoffman 740-407-4423

To run them off with the call method you really hve to hammer them every evening and morning I know since we have been preditor hunting if we pressure one spot everyday they have dissappeared but the key is put alot of pressure on them the trapping works to but takes along time to me the big tripple hooks with dead chickens on them sounds like a good idea hang a bunch of them around someone said it was illegal IDK here nothings illegal to get rid of coyotes

[bigjohn]

A good trapper is the fastest and best way to reduce their numbers.Now your not going to get rid of all of them by an method.Others will come in and take their place as they are expanding their range.I can't believe someone would think wolf urine would scare them off.I've trapped several this winter and my faverite lure is a wolf and coyote gland lure.The wolf urine is just another K-9s pee just like your dogs pee.As for hanging treble hooks for them,shame on you.No animal diserves to be treated that way,same goes for poisoning them.There's a reason these methods are illegal.People who are against hunting check these forums and you guys give them the imagine that we,as hunters,are a blood thirsty lot.

Frankly, I place the life and health of my dogs above the yote problem. I would be peeved to the core if one of my dogs was poisoned or caught by treble hooks or or a snare placed by some irresponsible, but well meaning, person. In fact, I would be looking for his arse and then report him or her to the DNR and local law enforcement. If necessary, I would take it to the Animal Rights Activist. I do not care about the life of a yote but I do care about my hounds.

heard this one works pretty good take stirafoam balls and rollem in bacon grease the yotes cant passem through blocks their insides and killsem had a guy tell me thats how he gottem off his land hope this helps

[Travis & Dio the dog]

Im gonna have to try some of these metods, went out this mornin in one of my favortie squirrel and deer spots, I wasnt 20 feet from the car and a doe fawn laid right along the path that a coyote drug down sometime lastnight

[RangerFan181]

i agree with the trapper idea it sure worked on my farm,had a guy come in he took 8 yoties and 2 bobcat out in two weekends,didnt have any trouble for about a year but its about time to thin them again now.just get somebody that knows what they are doing and they wont be there long .

[Casey Harner]

I like to eliminate them with my 6mm Rugar out the back door while they are glaring at my house!

243 takes care of the problem!!!

IMO Whats the differance in shooting them hooking or poisoning them and people aginst hunting sees all the rabbits laying on the tail gate and squrrils on here prob everyday they want and i would never hunt my dogs where these traps are set for them to get hurt my own personal hunting grounds is the only place i clean them out anyway i can and ive been staying on top of it and since i started coyotes is not an issue where me and my hunting partner hunts I would never trap on public hunting areas

[bill huttozac]

The difference is twofold, first, shooting a yote is usually a clean humane kill, secondly, poison, hooks, snares are a slow death. Being inhumane toward any animal is the stuff that get Animal Rights Activist on our case. Shooting is the safest method because you see what the bullit is going to kill. I am sure that anyone that ever did any amount of trapping for yotes has ran the trapline only to find a set where the yote chewed it's foot off and got away.

You know as well as I do that irresponsible people will place traps, snares, hooks and even poison on their own property as well as their neighbor's property and not tell anyone about it. When someone's Foxdog, Coondog or a Beagle dies from such a irresponsible act, then the person loseing the dog becomes a bitter sportsman and the one attempting to kill the yote is totally inconsiderate of his fellow man and his dogs, and ..... may lie about what he has done. If you have never had one of your Beagles caught in a steel trap, you are fortunate, if you have had such an experience, then you understand why I take this position.

Coyotes is dangerous and a nusince and they end up dead around here no matter what the technique we have alot of coyote hunters around here that keep them cleaned up but they are a very smart varmit we killed 13 christmas night at a remote spot in the mountains where we deer hunt
