Richard asks…
can Catahoula Leopard Dogs be used in coyote hunting?
please no people who are against hunting

jonthepain answers:
Yes, as can the Carolina dog, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why you would want to.
Dig a pit to hide in and learn how to use a call!

Helen asks…
I want to get a small dog for coyote hunting?
My house is small ani can’t have a big retriever or lab?what is the smallest possible dog that could kill a coyote?

jonthepain answers:
There is a lot of coyote hunting with dogs in my state. But the dogs have to run in packs, because here is what will happen to a lone dog if you attempt to hunt coyotes with him.
No matter how big, mean or vicious a single dog is, the coyotes have a tactic that works to perfection against a single dog. The coyote, unless he is trapped will will not fight a dog alone. But when there are two coyotes, one will engage the dog and the other will come in from behind, as the dog wheels to confront his attacker, the other coyote will come in and attack while the dog is busy, again causing the dog to turn and confront the coyote. The dog does not last no time, and the fight goes to the coyotes.
You need to forget about a single dog hunting coyotes, even if he is a Mastiff.

Mandy asks…
Sounds like hundreds of dogs yapping all together?
I know all our neighbor so I know theirs not a big enough concentration of dogs to make such a noise. but I went outside and all the sudden it sounds like hundreds of little dogs are barking/screaming, and its coming over the hill – all from one place – from our neighbors house. Coyotes? hunting dogs? what do you think?
i’m in a small neighborhood with the houses placed about 400 yards apart out in the country.

jonthepain answers:
Probably coyotes. I have a pack in my neighborhood, and it’s always sounds like there are more of them than there actually are. It’s quite chilling to have them around, really, but there’s nothing you can do.

jonthepain answers:
Most taxidermist tell you to just stick the whole animal in a freezer if you have a freezer large enough if not call the taxidermist you plan to use and most likely he will wont you to dope it off at his shop as is and in most cases un-skinned ASAP, they prefer too skin the animal them selves so as not to deal with any damage hides.
As to the other coyotes, you will have to shoot them first.
Most coyotes come in in singles or pairs and once you fire the other will be on the move quick.
But if you do shoot more then one just drag them off out of sight of roads and or houses and just let nature take its course if you don’t wont to skin and tan the other hides your self.
The meat is not worth eating so just let the other scavengers have it.
They need food also.
Coyotes do feed on Domestic Dogs and Cats.
I have been hunting them for 40 years.
DO NOT hang the coyote on a fence most states require you remove it and keep it out of sight of any roads because it just upsets the public.
Most states have it in their game laws that any game or predator shot near a road be removed ASAP so as not to insight the public that would be offended by the sight of a Dead or Dieing animal.
If you wont to hang a trophy do so in your house not the fence, that is part of what caused most of the trouble hunters face today from the public and privet land owners.
Most cattlemen do not like any thing hung on their fences that they did not hang personally.
I was born and raised on a large ranch and any one we caught doing this lost all hunting privileges, for it only damaged our fence.
That is part of being a “Ethical Hunter” while enjoying your rights you don’t willfully violate others rights.
It is called Respecting others.

Ken asks…
Im looking for a place to coyote hunt on private ground in Colorado?
Me and a friend are going to be heading to Colorado in two weeks. We both really enjoy coyote hunting, but in my area alot of people run dogs and the coyotes are scared of everything. We both respect the outdoors and have many years of hunting experience and would be more than happy to cure any coyote problems that anyone may have. (or give it my best shot anyway).
