RE: Coyote's ate good
You know the old saying about a man's home is his castle. Well I got to tell you, it's moreso with farmers and a lot of old time landowners. In many cases they're hanging on to a family tract only through sheer tenacity, hard work and long hours. Oh sure they could sell it for a bunch of money, but that's not their life. They love the land. It's got a lot more to it than a couple deer running around to them. It's theirs. Just like the money in your pocket is yours...it's yours. Don't go pushing the guy around and trying to put your hand in his wallet. It means a lot more to him than money and he's liable to break your arm.

Maybe this could have been a good oppurtunity to show them how to prperly track a wounded animal. If you would have taken the time to show them how to track a deer and answer their questions, it may have helped them grow as hunters and become more successful in the field. Whether we are 5, 15, 20, or 50 years old, we all have to start sometime. No one is born a good hunter, they pick up on things as they hunt and gain a learning experience from every outing and other hunters that aid them with advice and help. These guys might be trying to pick up the sport b/c they didn't have a family that could teach them while they were growing up, like many of us were fortunate enough to have. IMO, you handled this situation very poorly, and showed a lack of class. This was a bad, bad example of how a true outdoorsman would conduct himself in such a situation.
BTW, what you did was Poach, no two ways about it. I don't care what state, county, town, or community you are apart of. If a lady wants someone to watch her property for trespassers, you do not have permission to hunt her property, and you shoot an animal while it is on her property, that IS poaching.

Personally I like how he uses the wrong form of all words and misspells every other word. He makes the rest of us respectful, well rounded hunters, sound like hillbillies! It is people like this that give us hunters bad reputations![:@]

Let me add, I agree that it was poaching, and any bowhunter that takes a "60 yard" shot needs his bow taken away.
That's just slinging an arrow into the air and hoping it hits something.
It would have to be perfect conditions for me to take a 40 yard shot.
I live in Indiana and we have the same open land.
That's why we hunt the tree belts, and I've never taken a shot past about 25 yards.
Never needed to.
