Fletch Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I have coyotes in every area I hunt. I try not to leave a deer overnight. I have lost more than one that way. They are shoot on site. I am in Central part of the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phade Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I rarely see them (3x in 10 years) but lost a doe to them last season after letting her lay overnight (unsure of shot result at time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent death Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I hunt 4 B rarely seen them. even when i hunt for them. but i can tell ya this if i shoot a deer the gut pile is gone over night . coyotes are sneaky animals . sometimes i think they are harder to hunt then deer are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveNY Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) I hunt on the Sullivan/Ulster County border. I have never seen one in 16 years of hunting, nor sign of them. Trail cam never caught one either. But recently I have been hearing them at night. One guy I hunt with saw one once and took a shot at it, hes been hunting the area over 30 years. And my brother thinks he saw one in the woods once. I spent this past Saturday trying to call one in using rabbit in distress, I heard howling in the distance for about 2 minutes just before sun up, but none showed up.

First-light Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 8P here them every night but never see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampotter Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I shot a scruffy looking one last night and missed one 2yrs ago. 7H. They are around but there are a lot of guys that hunt them with dogs in my area, so I don't see them all that often, although they do show up on my trail cams from time to time.

pistolp71 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Lots in 4O. Shot a big male last deer season. Had one come in spring turkey hunting last spring. Shot another one bow season 2 yrs ago. Pics on my trail cams. We hunt them in the winter with dogs and there are still too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeGuy Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Wish we all said no to that question. Had one come through a few days ago, shot one week before season, shot one before that on xx/xx/11 and hear them all the time. I would like to kill them all ! Had my jack russell go toe to toe with one once, couldn't believe she held her ground and the yote ended up retreating I was beyond upset all I had was a chainsaw in my hands ! See and hear them all too often. There can never be too few coyote ! I live in Erie county. 9h, Boston hills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campstugots Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Have several packs of coyotes around me in 4F near the Otsego/Schoharie border. Hear them every night and but never see them while in the woods. I believe they are harder to hunt than deer. Occasionally, you will find a deer torn to shreds, so they do take them down. Don't know if there is a correlation but every year I am seeing less deer and hearing more coyotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpStateRedNeck Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Buddy lost a doe to them last weekend. We've shot 3 yotes so far this year. They're a friggin plague. Our turkey population is way down (biggest flock I've seen is 5), they kill my grandfather's sheep, they kill newborn calves. If I could kill every single one within a mile of the farm, I'd kill all but a couple. Theres way too many of them right now, at least 2 active packs on the farm. I neglected to mention, we're in 4G, right on the border of albany/schohaire counties. Edited October 26, 2011 by UpStateRedNeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinson446 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Gilbertsville Rod n Gun club is infested with them. They are like a bad case of Roaches. ALL OVER! Saw 3 in one weekend last year, brother missed one of them, and the other 2 i couldnt get a shot off at. I know you all have your opinions on whether or not they take a toll on the deer population, but the more coyotes ive been seeing, the fewer deer ive been seeing. Saw one the other day infront of the school in Gilbertsville, wanted so bad to run home and grab my 30-30 and lay him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke83 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Last year we saw and shot more coyotes than deer....Something aint right about that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 This is the only one that I have seen in a couple of years. I know there's a few around, but things are thick around here, so they can walk very near to you without ever showing themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solon Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I hunt in 7M and 7F and I see way to many of them - shot one last year (7F) - had one sneak up on me last week (7M) - tried to shoot it with the bow, but I moved too soon and it made me - was kind of funny to watch - it didn't know what i was and kept jumping up and down like a dog trying to get me to move again, then it slowly walked backed off and ran from where it came from...
