One sorry cayote

[poultrygeist]

Just shot a coyote that was scoping out my chicks from about 50 feet. Got him right where the sun doesn't shine. He won't be back. I Was waiting for him to show up as I noticed him milling around before I got chics, so I let it slide. Not this time!

Good for you! Danged varmints deserve it.

what caliber of weapon was you using?

 

[horsejody]

Was he killed or just wounded?

A 22 and wasn't trying to kill this time but feel I did kill it. if he comes back no mercy!

Good show! I would not have had the mercy or patience that you have.

I figure if I see one, he has a brother. And one of them might just get my dog or my chooks. Couldn't stand to think I had him and let him go. In fact it made local news here that a man barely got to his truck in time as a pack of about 15 chased him from his own barn.

Quote:
If you shot him and just wounded him, he will probably die a slow death from infection and starvation. That pretty much is no mercy. The merciful thing to do is to shoot to kill, not shoot to wound.

Sometimes you have a choice......sometimes you don't. I would prefer to kill outright, but if I can't, I can't...I'll go for the slow death too. Keep it loaded mais amie

This animal had the mange for sometime, very weak and was surprised to see it after the winter we had. Just the sight of it repulsed me --good riddance!
