I talked to a fellow I know and although he did not take a deer this year (by choice), he did get 3 coyotes while bow hunting for deer. This was in northern KY. From my dealings with yotes I was impressed.

I have seen them on numerous occasions and only been able to connect 3 times, once with a pistol and twice with a bow, they usually don't stop for you to get a shot up close. I think it is a lot of luck involved as to weather or not they stop. 2 out of 3 times I caught them watching the same deer I was seeing and shot them.

I have only shot 2 while bowhunting and missed a few in 28yrs of bowhunting! 3 in 1 season that's great!

I would say that individual most likely is a deers worst nightmare if he chooses to take it. I had a couple years I specially hunted predators with bow. Best in one year with bow while deer hunting is 2 and I thought that was darn good. My hats off that is a feat.

I was lucky enough to kill one in 15 in Ky and one in 16 in Illinois with my bow, I have never had a chance in Tn during bow season but have killed several during gun and turkey seasons though, I try to kill every one I get a chance to.

I also try to kill everyone I see! I usually trap em in the winter months and do some calling! Trapping seems to be the most effective for numbers although not as fun as bringing them to the call

I agree trapping is the most effective use of time when trying to remove coyotes. I think I might have a few more than some others though. They will come into yards in broad daylight and grab cats. I was even lucky enough to snare 37 if memory serves on a 5 mile snare line in 6 weeks. The following year was the first time we'd had seen twin fawns in years and they were the norm. I shot 2 in the 2 days of slug season I hunted this year missed 1. I do think they are the hardest animal to take with bow I have ever hunted. Luck is involved but if they smell you or your trail or see you it's game over. They don't seem to give their hides up easily.

Nice 37 in a 5mile set! My best is 27 in a 3mile snare I just love snaring we did catch 70 a few years ago although we had good ground to run, coyotes were worth $, and work was slow, know life gets in the way more then I like!! There is a art to snaring to put up numbers and you learn more Everytime you go in I have been trapping and snaring coyotes for 20+ yrs & I'm still learning

I've never killed more than one during a hunt but this guy sure did.

I have killed several with a bow but never more than one a hunt. For the past two years I have taken two on opening day of rifle. I can't let them walk. Learning to mouse squeak with your mouth will usually stop them in their tracks for a shot.

While I may shoot 1 while bow hunting, I can't see myself wasting $60 in arrows on 3 of them. Sounds like a reason to carry a handgun.

It's not worth that much but you get caught up in the moment and it is the last thing on your mind. I didn't have my handgun/44mag with me when I bow shot the 2 that I got. Also around where I hunt they are really putting a hurtin' on the deer population, so I do my part and shoot all of them I can. |

Well one dead and one left me a souvenir so far this year. The one that left the souvenir was at 12 yards sitting and I hit a limb. That was in 3 times out in clay county MN. I'm not supposed to shoot them in town where I live. I can't target shoot my bow but I can shoot deer in the backyard go figure.
