Checking near a gut pile from last week's Muzzle Loader hunting and got a shot at this female yote...pretty on one side, mangy on the other....80 yard shot with a .22 rifle. She dropped right there... There are a lot of them out there this year. I saw at least 4 last night and heard them singing on both sides of the property..

Nice shooting.
Is she going to be alright?
We used to have a lot of yotes around here when we first moved up here. I really enjoyed listening to them at night "singing" to each other. We had a pair of them in the back yard lounging around one afternoon.
The yote hunters in this area hunted them to extinction several years ago. I haven't seen or heard any for a long time.

Yes, I get a little torn on this situation at times.......I like to hear them at night and watched them mousing in the waterway near my house, but I also like to see quail in the fence rows and turkeys running around my place. The yotes put a dent in that so for the time being I will thin them out a little....
Nice shot.
Coyotes are a real detriment not only on turkey & rabbits but deer as well. Shoot them son of a butches.🤨
Ifin you get he Alpha female you will have a good chance at some good follow up kills until another matriarch is chosen.
I see more wolves here than coyotes.
I saw some research info that claimed that to control coyote populations, 2/3 of the population had to be killed EVERY YEAR.
North MO is experiencing lower deer fawning success and near total depletion of rabbits and game birds. I can usually hear groups of coyotes in several points of the compass on any given night.
They were out and about again yesterday and last night.....I do not think we will run short of them any time in the near future...I do enjoy listening to them in the evening
Coyotes hurt quail populations, but turkeys hurt them more. Turkeys are hell on quail eggs and chicks.
*, possums, skunks, house cats hurt quail number too. * populations are peaked due to fur being worthless, more and more people having little kitty furball, and high turkey numbers have about wiped quail out around here. That and cleaner farm practices along with more farms being divided with houses being built.
