coyotemaster Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Brilliant. Nice to read posts from over the pond. Your lucky having yotes and raccoons , wish we had them over here !!! Thanks for the compliment FOXHUNTER but be careful what you wish for!! I wish we had fox still and pheasant and quail. The Coyote is like a Piranha with hair and a canine brain and I truly wish he were not here, they are hard on all wildlife including our deer herd. I make the best of it and get enjoyment hunting them but can never make a dent in their number. They are smart and adaptable and unlike the one always chasing the roadrunner on cartoons usually gets what he came for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 and mating season is about a month off both of which will facilitate their taking. Hi CM, I take it by the above quote that Illinois has a close season on the Coyotes...? Nice write up, always like to read what's going on over the pond...

leeds chimp Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Raccoons are a major pest in the US, not just around domestic dwellings, but also to farmers and livestock owners. Have a look here http://www.farmersalmanac.com/home-garden/2011/04/11/pest-of-the-month-raccoons/ The Raccoons are a menace and in many places are out of control. I have had farmers tell me not to come back if I won't shoot coons when I see them. As an added bonus the hides are of some value. I averaged $10@ on these coons, it pays for the fuel! thanks gents..never knew that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice write up, always like to read what's going on over the pond... Hi Joe, No closed season, in fact there is talk of a bounty in certain counties in the state. Mating season is much like the rut for deer with the Coyote up and about day/night. A bounty would be good to help cover fuel expense while out spotting and stalking (one of the more effective methods on flat ground) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
