So the excuse of hunting would be bogus SoutherDem Jul 2012 #1

For deer-hunting, you do need a high-powered, lethal bullet. backscatter712 Jul 2012 #5

No, it's not. In fact a lot of states won't even let you shoot Bambi's mom with it Edweird Jul 2012 #3

I've killed lot's of turkey and a few deer with the 223. ileus Jul 2012 #4

Do you eat the coyote? panader0 Jul 2012 #11

Coyotes are a huge problem for cattle ranchers as well as killing private live stock and chickens rl6214 Jul 2012 #16

I would only do it if Fish and Game recommended it due to overpopulation. Spitfire of ATJ Jul 2012 #23

Just sayin---the coyotes were here before the cattle, private live stock or chickens panader0 Jul 2012 #27

Watching a coyote blithly carry off another of my cats makes me ill and makes my blood boil uppityperson Jul 2012 #80

Leaving your beloved cats to roam wild and complaining about what happens to them? Doremus Jul 2012 #112

Nope. They are inside/outside cats not "roam wild". They eat, drink, sleep, poop inside uppityperson Jul 2012 #113

Hence why I don't like coyotes. Thank you for your concern but I'm not going to argue with you. uppityperson Jul 2012 #128
