Old Ironmaker Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) I invite all you hunters out to Haldimand county for some varmint riddin'. We have been here since 96' and no one including life long residents has seen as many Coyotes and bushwolves than this winter. Someone said they are being driven out of their habitat by the construction of the wind turbines. I don't know the reason but they seem to be everywhere this year, and they are bold to say the least. Last Sunday night I saw at least 4 routing through garbage bags set out on the lakeshore for pick up. When I drove up to them they didn't seem to care at all. Hunger is a huge motivator. I didn't think they would scavenge, guess I'm wrong. Come on out. Someone told me there is a bounty on them here, haven't hunted since after my 4th knee operation and am not up on the latest regs.

Old Ironmaker Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 By the way great job restoring your weapon, great job, congrats.
Rustic-Fisher Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 Nice work, keep at em !!! I've had a few encounters now with the dogs and yotes.
NAW Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks for the comments everyone. It sure was great to take that old broken down gun, and make it usable again.
ch312 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 yeah, I hear ya, shooting stuff for fun isn't really my style either predator management through hunting and trapping are some of the most effective methods of controlling populations. you can thank those hunters and trappers who "shoot stuff for fun" for keeping coyote (and many other animals) populations in check which in turn helps the local deer, turkey, waterfowl, and small game. that said, why bother opening a thread titled "coyote gun restoration" if you're against the shooting of yotes? NAW, it must have been very satisfying using that firearm to take this coyote. Very nicely done!
NAW Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks ch312! I will be spending a few hours working on the pelt tonight. To make things even better. My neighbour introduced me to a group of local coyote hunters this weekend. I guess these guys are the real deal. I am very excited to learn from them. Maybe take this to the next level. The one hunter in te group that I talke to has shot 7 coyotes in my neighbourhood this winter. It hasn't come close to putting a dent in the local population.
