We are starting to see more coyotes, and the wolves are doing well. I bought a new caller I want to play with this winter. Fun too see if anything comes around.

Cool vid!

We have been getting more here as well. Ran one down with the pickup and got another with the trusty ol 243 off the combine. Looking forward to winter and hoping to get some more.

Did you secure the Coyotes via aerial gunning?

I am not sure of the Regulations in Wyoming, but you may want to try foothold traps, snares, or conibear's on your Coyotes.

Just make sure that that no other animals ( dogs, sheep, etc ) are in the trap area. I am sure you already know this, but we have had a few illegally set conibear traps kill a few dogs and it creates nothing but problems.

I love hunting predators when their coats start to thicken.

I think we need a hunting thread on here

There's a big male that runs around in the neighborhood. I've seen him following a guy walking his miniature schnauzers. I think it makes it's living on geese living on the golf course. I can't use my black rifle here because of local ordinances but I'm going to pick up one of the better pellet guns and put some lead in him just to make him uncomfortable.

I've got a Benji Marauder in 22 cal. that I use to control the tree rat population in my yard. Over at the gatewaytoairguns.org(note - NOT .com) site, there are a few guys using the Marauder 25 cal. on yotes, but shot placement is critical to drop one. Not sure about the "make him uncomfortable" part - I don't shoot unless I'm sure of the kill.

The Marauders are hard to beat for value in a PCP airgun. You can spend a bundle on SCBA tanks and a Shoebox compressor, but I just picked up a slightly used Hill pump and enjoy the workout. My rifle has a sweet spot between 2,200 and 2,800 psi. I can get two magazines(20 shots) in that range with 50 pumps on the Hill to bring me back up to pressure.

Please only shoot when you have enough gun to kill quickly.
