I caught this guy tromping down my lively hood. He almost has me tempted to buy a tag but I don’t think he is worth giving up a week of predatr hunting, do you?

Bryan, I know just what you mean.
I no longer apply for big-game permits. No matter what I hunt I spend the time thinking about coyotes and wishing that I was calling them. My wife believes that I am seriously obsessed. I believe that I am just happily obsessed. [Smile]

Bryan,
I was bowhunting those big Indiana whitetails a few years ago with a very close friend. We were within site of each other in a couple tree stands. When a deer would walk by, we would film each other. I have never killed a huge 8 pointer(eastern count). Big six's, ten's ,12's, and one huge 13 pointer, but never an 8. I was set up at the juntion of 2 nice trails and I look up and here come a big 8 pointer on one trail and a coyote was coming down one of the other trails from the oposite direction. Guess which one got an arrow? Yep, I pinned that 40 pound coyote to the ground! My bowhunting friend( very well known hunter from AZ) said only Steve Craig would do something like that! There is just something about a coyote.

Bryan, you can let him grow a year....

Rich, happily obsessed is a good mild self description...

Luckily your wife trusts Tyler and is willing to let you out of your white jacket once in a while... [Big Grin]

Bryan,

Glad to see those spelling lessons are working for you. Now, I only have the rest of the world to teach how to spell predatr correctly. [Wink]

I'll tell ya. I'm getting real tired of jumping through the hoop on all these big game applications. (and)I'm not real happy having to decide in January! There is much appeal in hunting predators, from my perspective. Good to know others are getting fed up with the BS.

Good hunting. LB

Rich, happily seriously obsessed? [Big Grin]

LOL

Steve thanks for sharing that story there is something about a coyote. I have taken a few more coyotes than deer in my life but the last coyote I took had nearly the same feeling as the first deer I took.

Leonard, I can see your point about the draw I don’t like it either. The hoops that I have to jump through are not the reason that I stopped chasing deer. If I had the passion to chase deer I would jump through those hoops whining and complaining all the way. With urban sprawl eating up habitat and farmland and more hunters in the field what is the solution? I think I would rather apply in advance and pray that my number comes up than camp out on a vendors doorstep for days to hold a place in line or get a wristband?
