7:30 this morning me and a buddy was driving down the road going to scout some deer property. He noticed a dark spot on the edge of a field. We turned the truck around and looked again,but it was gone. He knew it was either a dog or kiyote, but wasn't for sure which one. I started scanning the field with the binocs and seen a coyote head sticking out of the creek bank. We parked and watched as he hunted the field pouncing on mice. Kinda cool because I don't normally watch them. It looked to be a large male that was marked kinda funny. His body was dark but he had a white/blond saddle across his back. As he left the field I took note of the route he used, passing through a nice cut in the brush.  Because of the area I can't hunt or shoot. Too many houses and animals around for me to take a chance calling this area. But it did get me thinking, could I have the female in a trap that's just a few hundred yards away? YEP!


The best part of the story is yet to come. My friend shoots this coyote and it rolls. I jump the ditch pick it up and drag it to the top of a pond. We stood there talking and the damn thing jumped up and started to run off. I pulled my pistol and fired two times, my buddy shoots a couple rounds and It goes down again. I drag it back out of the pond only to find it's still alive. Not only did I grab her once while she was alive but I grabbed her twice. I guess I'm still a rookie. Anyway the land owner was happy and I got my first coyote trapped this fall.

I'm w/ Barry on this.
Just think of the story you'd have to tell your Grandkids!  :eyebrow:
But then again by the time you have Grandkids that'll listen it'll probably be a knock-down, drag-out fight for your life.  :laf:


WTG!  :biggrin:

BTW was the male even darker than this female?  :wo:
She seems pretty dark to me.

I think it was around the same color as this one, but with a blond patch on it's back.

I'm tellen ya she was not moving or breathing when I first picked her up. I don't know how it happened  :shrug:  She had enough time to bite me it she wanted. I can't tell ya the words that came out of my mouth as that dog ran off. It was almost as if I helped in a jail break. I think it gave me the  :finger: as it ran off.
