RE: Hunting Coyotes
Hey, I like the way you guys think! However, I was kind of trying to keep the noise down thus the CB. I have some ammo for the 12 ga that is assume. It is called Poly Shok. It has a shape charge in the front which causes the little tiny "BB" to go out in an omni direction causing massive destruction. It was designed so if you missed and hit something, it will not go flying forever down range taking out many things in it's path. It does not kick much either.

RE: Hunting Coyotes
ok safety off try with the xbow first and, and if you miss bring a gun along just for a quick follow up shot. i love my xbow and compound bow but when it comes to yotes ill make sure i hit them with a gun been seeing alot more yotes and lesser deer around here as well as alot of hnters are saying the same. if i could get them close for a shot with mine i would but i think they know who i am not to brag heheheh but they stay out of bow rangs but in gun range. good luck to you.

RE: Hunting Coyotes
The yotes around here seem to know if I have a gun or a bow in hand. The dog officer is gonna call me next time he has a road kill and I am gonna sit right on top of it with 3 inch #4 buckshot out of an extra full turkey choke.
I know a couple of guys who live in the "BOONIES" who hang treble hooks three feet off the ground baited with spam. I really think it is uncool but it works. Not sure my nieghbors would think much of that and I am sure it is as illegal as you can get so DON"T do it.

I thought I have heard it all! I don't have any right/wrong thoughts on how people should deal with predators, but this tactic at least gets points for creativity.

RE: Hunting Coyotes
Don't get me wrong David.. I WOULD never hang a treble hook in the woods!!! But doing so does show alot of creativity just not much tact or class.
As much as I dislike yotes even they deserve a quick clean death. Hanging from a hook in it's mouth for a couple of days just sits real bad with me.

"What else would I need?"
This bow has 225 lbs pull weight. Enough power to kill an elepahnt (no kidding) much less 'yotes. I'd give it a try to see if you can handle pulling it repeatedly. I started with an Equinox but discovered that while shooting it was fun, cocking it was WORK. (I'm retired and pretty much allergic to work). Traded for a Vortex. It's 1" shorter and 25 lbs less pull weight. Still a very serious bow. Seems considerably easier for me to pull and it's easier on bolts and strings. The Equinox trigger also wan't as smooth as this Vortex's trigger.
