No deer, but a few coyotes

[adriel]

Deer populations got hammered last winter in NE Alberta so I haven't seen many, but I did see coyotes. Took two at 250 yards and one at 70, both with a Ruger American in .308. Where I hunt, there's a problem with livestock predation, so the county has even put up bounties in the past. That said, this isn't even making a dent on the local coyote population.

Good job...

Apparently, even in the afterlife, they sniff each others butts...

it may not have made a dent today, but you keep at it and the dent will begin to open up!

Nicely done! And, I love the first pic where you left the sticker on the buttstock of your rifle! HE HE

Just an FYI on the deer populations here in the Ottawa area... I had does & fawns on cam before the season... Absolutely NOTHING on camera other than hunters & their dog, NO deer since then... If I see a coyote, I will do my best to take it out!

Cheers

Good job, keep at them. We have so many that everything is cleaned out. The only place I see jacks at all is in town. Not even a track around. I am trying to do my part as well. I have shot a couple in the past few weeks as well.

Well done bud. Keep up the good work. Thinking to set out a bait pile this weekend with a few beaver carcasses. Haven't seen any yote tracks this year but have seen wolf sign. Set out snares in their trails but I'd really love to get one with the rifle. Developed a nice accurate load for my VZ58 in 556 and need to get out and try em out on what they were designed for. Inspired to get out and do some canine hunting of my own. Thanks for sharing your hunt.

They've moved to the eastern side of the province. Thanks a lot.

(Just kidding about the thanks part.)
