Coyote Drives

[sharp shooter]

Drives are stupid and dangerous. You have a bunch of idiots walking through the bush towards more idiots. Then when they see a deer/dog/whatever, they all start shooting toward each other. This is not hunting, this is no different than cavemen driving buffalo over cliffs.

I am guessing you don't have any hunting partners because....^^^^^

The rules say if they shoot an animal or a bird and it runs into your property, they have the right of servitude to access your property to harvest the game that they shot outside of your property but that ended up on your field.

I dare you to try that in Alberta.

Always ask. With road access and imagery photo's it should be easy to predetermine drives and gain landowner consent.

Drives. Nobody should confuse drives with hunting - they're two completely different things. Hunting is hunting, drives are eradication. Personally, I don't see any sport in drives or using dogs.

Eradication sounds good to me if your talking about running coyotes. Kill them all!

I think your reffering to hunting regulations, where it states you have to do everything legally possible to retrieve downed game. But that excludes tresspassing. Your confusing to different forms of regulations.

here are the tresspass laws of Ontario.

I'm from South Western Ontario, and on my way home from work today there were a bunch of trucks lined up along the road overlooking my parents property for a coyote drive.

My question is do these people just assume they have permission to shoot across our fields? Or that the people pushing the coyotes have permission to access the bush on our property?

Anybody ever participated in one of these?

Maybe they are running hounds

love seeing them out, always hit them up on the cb or stop to ask how they are making out. only problem i got with the ones around here right now is they keep running my block over and over and the dogs go nuts at the sight of the trucks on the road, plus i want to call them and not much point if they have been ran all day

You are not nearly as clever as you think!

That gets my vote for the most ridiculous post of the year.

We push yotes by foot all winter long when we have snow, we have over 150 farms and written permission to hunt on these farms as required by the township bylaw. We have never shot anyone and your chances of getting shot are far greater in a shopping mall than a hunters drive. We are quite successful in killing yotes every winter killing as many as when we used dogs. We at one time hunted with dogs but our pushers are better than dogs because they can read signs and they know when to come home and where they can not go. The only time we get the police involed is when some uninformed city slicker or anti hunter or the hunter that thinks he has exclusive permission everywhere complains or sees a gun. Plus we get calls from the farmers to come and kill the yotes and some would also like all the turkey, deer and geese killed if it were legal.
Enjoy the hunt which ever way you do it.

This is a guy that KNOWS, and decided to share some knowledge....

Need a good crew to be effective/successful/safe.

No sport? Try shooting a deer with a beagle on its heels!

And a beagle is slow compared to walker, walker/collie cross...

Not sure, it was a coyote cull in the Woodlawn area of West Carleton..

Always wanted to hunt coyotes over dogs.

When I first started hunting I hunted crown land where the locals ran hounds for deer so I've had a few deer ran past me before. Nothing quite like the feeling you get when you hear those hounds tonguing and getting closer... and closer.
