That's the seninaro I was in reference to.... especially with heifer's having their first calf, John
John,
I figured you had witnessed that before. Very sad very helpless feeling. Most all Ranchers I know including myself love animals it’s why we’re in the business we’re in and to watch a animal you have raised die in that manner is very disheartening and frustrating and zero help from the almighty game Department!... I kill all predators and don’t care who knows it or likes it! Now they reintroduced something that was never here to start with the grey wolf!.... lost five good young cows and a bull last year to the nasty bastards!... this year I have a huge inventory from Burger, Hodgdon, Lapua and CCI and also a 55 gallon drum of antifreeze!

That's a whole lot like those damn 10 and 12ft lizards they brought in here to eat the beavers that they brought back in here in the 50s. They have a hard time around here, must be something in the air... John
 
When I was farming it was coyotes, coydogs, and groundhog holes that were the demons of cattle. When times were tough, a cow would get "lost" somewhere.
This year my sister's herd took a beating from coyotes and black buzzards. Buzzards wouldn't even wait for the calf to drop.
 
Good reminder to take meat scraps and soak them in anti-freeze. Put them out as a "present" for those yotes.

That coyote noise at dusk is not music but a horror to everything around. KILL them off.

As a kid l had an evening paper route growing up in ''The Holy City'. One street l delivered papers on had LOTS of bad
dogs that did not like The Paper Boy or his 'Columbia NewsBoy Special' bike:( Rumor is one dark evening an old 55
Ford Pickup took a drive down that street tossing out scraps of PRESTONE soaked stew meat... Never knew who this
Death Angel was, but his visit was greatly appreciated:rolleyes:
 
Yes. Coyotes are one of the animals that I could give a chit about a clean kill. I will take any shot presented and if I blow their asshole off, so much the better. As a bowhunter, I have found marginally hit deer at the crack of dawn the next morning and the only thing left is the skeleton. Front legs are nowhere to be found. Not enough meat left to make a sandwich. Kill em all!
 
I shot several pups on a ranch that was having problems with the coyotes. Necessary but definitely harder to do when they are but 3 months old.
 
I have no blanket hatred for predators, they serve their role in the ecosystem. But around here coyotes are far above historical populations and people have actually helped their numbers. It's pretty much impossible to over-hunt them, only trapping and poisoning pose a real threat to shifting the balance too far. And nobody traps them anymore. Therefore I shoot every one I see.
 
I do control work for ranches if they need it but have no truck with coyotes. To me they are money makers and don't hunt them until they are prime, to me shooting a coyote on public land in the summer is like lighting a match to a $50 or $100 dollar bill. I'm also not a big game hunter so if I have to choose between a coyote or a deer I'd let the coyote live till winter. I do hunt coyotes in up to five states every year so I do put a fair dent in the population.
 
Doesn't antifreeze contain a bittering agent nowadays? I gotta think that would put the kibosh on using it in the manner described above...
