I had an idea recently. Do you think that if you called coyotes at the gun range you would have some sucess? The ones that are around are already used to hearing gunfire, so if you shot a few rounds then called, think any would show up? I would be using the typical dying rabbit call.

Also, i have herd that a coyote will still come to the call even after a shot has been fired at a different coyote.

It would be kinda funny sitting at the shooting bench and shooting a coyote. a little too easy, but funny

think it would work?
 
Damn near clobbered a bunny during qualifications this year. Range officer was screaming at me "Don't shoot the F-----g bunny!!!"

I should have plastered him but it would have bollocksed up my score.
 
I'd shoot a coyote at my range... That being said, I passed on a bear while shooting as a civi on base gagetown. I thought they'd freak out if I hammered it with my ar15... :roll:

Cheers

There is a real problem with coyotes in some areas, deer hunters I know have reported that they don't wait the customary 20-30 minutes before going after a shot deer, because coyotes will sometimes get to them before they do ! :shock:
As for the range, no hunting rule applies, and i've never seen even any animal on it yet.

One guy that was at Blast off this year also reported that he had been on a range where a groundhog had taken residence at the foot of one of the 100 yds targets... Apparently the thing has a habit of harrassing shooters that try to retrieve their targets, but as he put it, that has to be one BADASS critter to live on a range AND routinely attack things that are easily 20 times it's size :lol: , the guys so far have resited the urge to shoot it, it has become a sort of unofficial mascot of that range.

bad shooters huh :lol:
 
I once saw a pheasant run across our range during a skeet shoot :shock:

There is no pheasant season here in NB, thus they are illegal to shoot :|

SC........................

At the same range I have heard coyotes howling that seemed like they were 10 feet away while we were shooting! :shock:

If they had of came out into plain view I think they would have met an early demise! :wink:

You just have to go to Connaught if you want to see wildlife. Got to chase the deer from the rifle and pistol ranges and there are grey owls and turkey at the shotgun range. They know that they are safe, not so dumb those animals.

You guys were obviously not uthere with ther regs when there was an infestation of groundhogs :lol: :lol: :lol: :!:
 
WE were doing a pre- shoot briefing when one guy said
"Can we shoot the bear?"
Everybody looked to where he was ointing, and out on the line sniffing a freshly painted sillhouette was Boo Boo himself!!:lol:

Shooting game on most ranges will get you kicked out immediately. Shooting a bear with a .223 on a CF range will get you arrested. So will shooting a coyote or any other game.
