Been hiking and scouting around my favorite deer hunting spot for the last few weeks and today came across a den of 10 coyote pups!! Managed to retrieve 3 had 2 in the den i couldnt reach to retrieve and the rest were scattered all over the hills and i couldnt catch up to any. But thats 3 less female coyotes out there! :evil:

Shooting puppies? In a den. Seriously?

I don't agree with shooting puppies of anything. On top of that, it looks like one of these little guys got shot in the hind quarters, suggesting an unethical kill.

It amazes me what people are proud of...
 
Ever watched a kid get attacked by a coyote, or watched your family pet get run off with and torn apart... worlds a cruel place and yes i am very proud of the fact theres 3 less coyotes
 
Killing coyotes as predator control has long been standard practice in agricultural areas. Whether or not the coyotes are pups or are mature is irrelevant. After all, pups do mature. The sequence is simple enough to understand: Young, they eat what the parents kill. They then mature and do their own killing.

Unfortunately, urban areas are coming to need such control. Not just attacks on pets, but attacks on small children as well. The Tucson incident comes readily to mind, and there was highly publicized attack on Texas Gov. Perry's dog during a jogging session.

Without knowing whether it is an entry or exit wound and what the trajectory was or how the shot was made, I am not sure how you could even begin to suggest that it wasn't an ethical kill. Given the size of the pup and the caliber used, any body location is potentially a perfectly good shot with the right trajectory.

Like Art says, pups grow up. If coyotes are a problem, then age isn't an issue.
 
Exactly^ the deer population for my valley has dropped dramatically in the last 2 years since the chicken farms closed down and the coyotes had to find other sources of food, theres also been alot of signs up locally for missing dogs and cats and been a problem of late on farm animals such as cattle and goats.
 
Yes, work. Not hunting.
Or a public service that saves a child or pet or livestock.

They sure are cute though.
 
This is pretty much why I stopped watching hunting shows... glorifying the kill. It would have been more noble to have kept this private rather than bragging and displaying the killing of little ones. And don't launch into some diatribe about my ethics - note that I'm not showing dead coyote pups. I'm a hunter safety instruction (three states), devoted hunter AND predator/varmint hunter/controller, and yes, I've seen what coyotes can do, and have witnessed it in cold blood. This is just fueling the fire of a battle I'm getting tired of waging, that is, the ethics of hunting, predator control, etc. Like I said, the noble thing to have done was to keep it private - that's the HIGH ROAD. -Don
 
There are some things in life you do because you have to, not necessarily because you like doing them. When I got my first centerfire rifle (a Ruger 77 in 6mm Rem) back in 1974, my grandfather thought that scoped rifle (and my ability to hit at what was to him long range with it) was nothing short of wonderful. He raised cows, and while we didn't have a yote problem back then, there was a significant problem with feral dogs. So at my grandfather's behest I killed a good many dogs that were bothering the cattle. I didn't like it, but I did it. What handloaded 75 grain Noslers did to canines wasn't pretty either.

There are cattle on our place where we live now, and if I had to I'd still shoot dogs off them. I still wouldn't like it, but I'd still do it.

+1

A former Kansas Hunter Safety Instructer also.
And I've killed more coyotes on the farm, or later in life just hunting them for sport then I care to share.

I would no more massacre a litter of coyote pups in a den and brag about it, then I would post a manifesto on You-Tube about going on a shooting rampage.

These photo's you posted could turn up on PETA's website the next thing you know!

We stop hunting coyotes at all in the spring.
Because the hides were no good, and they have pups in dens to feed.

Leave some for seed for the next years hunting was always my thought.

That could be said for any such photo.

I don't think this is a problem for coyotes...

Conservation status:
The Coyote has a wide distribution throughout North America, Mexico and into Central America. They are abundant throughout their range and are increasing in distribution as humans continue to modify the landscape. The species is very versatile, especially in their ability to exploit human modified environments.

By all reports coyotes are killing upwards of 90% of the fawns around here. Which is worse, killing coyotes or letting them wipe out the fawns.

I do agree with not advertising it. Just do the job you know needs to be done. Killing cubs in the den is a personal choice one would have to make on their own.

I do not have a problem killing grown coyotes, but would have a hard time shooting little ones, but that's just me. :)
 
+1 for keeping it private.
I live on a cattle farm and have to do things from time to time that I would not like the whole world to see but that is just me.
 
I couldn't do it. I've done some awful things that Heaven has forgiven me for, but nothing that bad. Not even close.
 
Not sure what the deal is...it's a coyote pup. You guys don't hunt feral hog piglets either?

Good work gunnerboy
 
"Coyote hunting?" How about retitling to "Coyote killing." I'm not sure den killing puppies belongs in the hunting section as they weren't killed for food, fur, or sporting challenge.

Personally, I wouldn't brag about this and post photos on an open forum.

Little piggies are good for the smoker. Little cute yotes are another thing.
 
Beaucoup photos have been posted in this forum during its ten-year existence, and before that on TFL. Elephants, buffalo, deer, mountain lions, elk, hogs, coyotes and many other critters, I guess.

Some photos have been graphic, serving to illustrate the performance of a bullet on an animal.

Me, I just lump it all in as part of the reality of the world in which we live.

For folks with free-ranging chickens or turkeys, or who are in the sheep/goat business, those pups are as ugly as home-made sin built by unskilled labor. Nothing at all cute about them.
 
Something in the SEA-TAC drinking water?

If you're old enough to remember, try huming along the 50s hit 'How Much Is That Doggie In The Window'.

One of my most memorable recollections as a kid was when I visited a Favorite Aunt and Uncle in Winston County, Alabama. She was at the kindling pile where a stump served double duty as a choping block. She was bashing the heads of a litter of kittens. I couldn't understand it 'till she explaned that the barn couldn't support a litter of cats. And that starving to death is cruel.

When the cows were milked, there was always a saucer of milk set aside for the cats.

The act, and the actor, were not cruel in this post or my memory.

Amen! Here in my area of cattle country we would say you did good.
That same sentiment would also apply to pigs.
