The second one tested my shooting skills and he is still going! lol Mangy male around 25 to 30 pounds Luke Martin - Sanford, Maine - Coyote shot on the last day of Deer muzzleloader in 2010.

Jan 2011 - Deep snow and too many coyotes leads to coyotes taking down young deer. Photo taken by David Thayer - MH's Pro Staff in Southern Maine. The snow is deep and that’s not a good thing for the deer and turkey.

David Thayer - New Durham, NH - MH's Pro-Staff Harvested these two coyotes and fox last week in the lakes region of NH. I usually have the coyotes hit my baits hard this time of year but from what I have seen they have been catching deer, no need for bait. I only have one bait that has consistent activity with coyotes this year. The bobcats are around and seem plentiful, wish we could hunt them!
Bruce Billings - Holbrook MA - First Hunt! Sometimes the first Hunt is the best. I have been wanting and talking dog hunting for years, but after hitting the wood all fall, it sometimes is little hard to go out after a long deer season. Well that was what I said to myself, "go now or just talk about predator hunting for another year", with out ever going. I put on a camo top and walked into the woods, I hunkerd down in some pines and started to rabbit squeal. After running out of breath I stopped and then movement, I stacalling rted up again and called one of the five yotes in. I downed my first coyote! All within a matter of minutes. What action. I called them back after shooting and missed another one. Now I believe!
