Running yotes with hounds gettin to be quite popular, did it with a group of guys last winter for first time, was alot of fun. Its a good thing to keep yotes in check, have talked to trappers from many different states, all say same thing, if you dont keep yote numbers down, you will have no more fox to speak of, along with greatly reduced small game numbers. I would rather see good numbers of all animals rather than yotes behind every tree, there are more around here than say 10 years ago, hopefully population stays stable and doesnt increase much.

I was out in the front yard the other day and one walked right down the center of the road with a rabbit in his mouth. I could not get to my rifle fast snough. I now am keeping my old iron 303 brintish enfield with 175 gr  ammo in the garage.

GREAT slideshow!! That looks like a good way to thin the coyotes out!

Do you do any calling also?

Excellent photos, great predator control, looks like fun!

Heard of hunting foxes with hounds, but not coyotes.

I would of thought the coyotes would head for the hills with hounds on their tails.

Do they react the same as foxes and return to the same basic starting point?

Do you follow the hounds and the coyote eventually will stop and try to hold his ground?

Educate a naive person.

one thing that makes running coyotes with hounds is you never know what is going to happen. sometimes they circle like a rabbit and other times the bee line from block to block making it hard to keep up with or to get in front of. when the coyotes tire from being pushed hard or from deep snow they will back into a corner like a brush pile or building and fight.
