Here in South East Ohio we have an overabundance of coyotes,who doesn't? lol No one around here hunts them since you can't eat them and they are everywhere.I have had them under my mobile home several times chasing cats and my beagle on one occasion. They stand in the open just accross the road from my house and even lay on the hillside watching me! They travel in packs and will even shadow a man walking through the woods. I have tried all kinds of techniques and positions ,calls, and even bait.They just won't come in, or even make a howel to let me know i've been busted.I've shot a few in North West Ohio where I am from,so I know I can't be THAT bad of a coyote hunter.The terrain here is hills rocks and a few pastures,game is abundant to support a population of 'yotes.I have even lost 48 chickens in 3 days time to these bast***s. I have even been in the front yard when they opened up not 40 yards from me. I mowed the lawn one day, it took me 2 hours, put my lawn mower away, let my chickens run free while I mowed,walked in the house to wash up and they killed 17 birds when I came back outside, not 10 full minutes later.( No exageration, 10 minutes)I have a small arsenal of Savage rifles to chose from,a few shotguns too.My favorite is a 110FP .300 Win Mag with 125gr. speer T-N-T's.I'm telling you these dogs are slick! Not like the guys on tv who shoot 5 or 10 'yotes in a half hours time out west.Eastern 'yotes are hard to kill!! They do not come running just because you turned on you PM-4, or tooted on your dog howler. I'm out of things to try and my rifle is growing rust from not being fired!! I don't think asking which rifle to use is my question here, but if you have a suggestion I'll sure give it a try!!Savage rifles, 110 FP.223, 110 243,110 FP Tacticle .308,110 FP .300 Win Mag. Any suggestions? Heck come and hunt them yourselves, I'll hook you up!! Plenty of Wayne National forest around here, in the neighborhood of 4500 acres just near my house and out the back door!!! Or is it possible that I don't have a coyote problem at all, but I have Coy-Wolves?( do a search on coywolves and discovery channel, they are for real)~Titan1
