I snuck up to one in some thick stuff while trailing a bear last year. I was very surprised when I saw it’s face. I know out west they can’t stand them due to tree loss but I’m pretty indifferent. Slow little buggers.

Ryan Lampers cooked one up on the Gritty YouTube channel and it looked delicious. I might give one a try if the opportunity presents itself, plenty of them around my neck of the woods.

Tan the hides and put them on tree stand seats that were left on public land too long :whistle:

Like dan said, they have their place, I have run into 40's where all the tree bottoms were eaten up but the trees kept on growing, I'm not shooting something unless i eat it so I jsut let them go. I know people hate wolves around here too but they beautiful animals and if you are lucky enough to see them hunt deer you can learn a lot from them. They know the bedding areas well I will say that much.


That’s why I don’t shoot coyotes. I mean I’m sure with enough chili or taco seasoning and a 30 pack they are more than edible, but shooting to just kill isn’t hunting.
