I've been gone a couple years due to medical issues and am just now starting to get back on my feet. I signed on tonight to see who is still here and how the Coyote hunting is in NH these days. I know it must be getting better as we have several packs in our neighborhood here in Laconia. Too bad I can't hunt them as they are eating all the cats around here.
Anyway, just checking in to see who's around and to see what opportunities might be available to go hunting. I don't even own a gun any more so I guess the first thing is to find something I can use. What is everyone using these days for Coyote hunting?

Glad to see you're still after it. If you find any, let me know and I might be able to join you on a stand if the terrain isn't too rugged. Right now I'm trying to find a used .223 or .243 I can afford so I can start shooting again.

It seems like no matter where I put out my trailcams, I going to get more coyote and bear pics than I get deer pics but I haven't had much luck calling them in. Some of the guys I hunt deer with thinned out a few yotes during the deer season last year and I'm sure we're going to run into them again this year up on the mountain. I don't know how you like to set up on coyotes, but don't rule out hunting them with a shotgun with #4 buckshot.....  |

Just curious, what do you guys do with the coyotes? Stuff, skin, eat? Never went coyote hunting and just oblivious to what you do with them.

I stuff them...right under a log or brush pile & even let them lay out in the open as a warning to other coyotes that I'm around & looking for them ;D Now if it's got a good pelt & I know someone wanting one, I'll carry them out. I never heard anyone eating coyotes but then it took me 20+ years to find one person that ate ground hogs  He was part Indian & he ate a lot of thing I didn't know people ate. Back when my brother & I trapped fox in PA, we would skin up ground hogs for baiting traps. I guess some coyote hunters that trap or bear hunt could probably use them for baiting. Does anyone know if a coyote will eat another coyote if their skinned? |

I skin them and will send them out to be tanned once I get enough of them. The winter pelts are nice...

I have a few coyote skeletons out back LOL. I leave em where I drop em. May take a skin someday if I get a nice one but they've all been gross! Deerfield does not have very nice looking yotes. Coon and fisher and nice though. One yote was so bald with manage I didn't even want to be near it or touch it. I shot it from the bedroom window and managed to flop it maybe 200 yards away from the house using a big stick and left it. After a few days the crows, ravens, and turkey vultures were all over it. Within a month it was a white pile of bones. I've wacked a few from the window, and the deck. They come in to try for one of the birds...and to taunt the dogs. My .223 has been good yote repellent.
