Yaw is krazee. Next time you're on a food plot full of does, and it's nearing prime twilight "buck time", go ahead and blast off a shot or two across the field. No seriously, just shoot into the dirt below your stand. According to you, won't hurt nuthin.
I kill every coyote I get a shot at with my bow, and I'd shoot them while squirrel hunting (or some other misc critter hunting), but I simply ain't going to bang a gun at a coyote while I'm deer hunting. You can spout off all the random examples of shots not spooking deer that you want to, it means less than squat to me. I guarantee you've had WAAAAAYYY more times when every deer in sight turned inside out after a shot.
We are free to disagree on this, not a hill I'd die on....I just don't believe you could kill enough to matter. Ain't mad at you if you think otherwise, I just wouldn't want to lease land with you. Again, I am NOT a coyote sympathizer, I absolutely loathe those %$^$##$@s, I wish I could fly over my property and drop a poison cloud on it that would kill every last one of them.
And the previous 3 pages of pissing matches is worthless. Doesn't matter who's right, there ain't a hunting club that I know of who'd pay money (or could if they wanted to) to trap coyotes. I love the idea, but I couldn't pay several hundred dollars (my hypothetical share) to pay a trapper. Remember we aren't talking about an ideal world here, most of us are in leases with a handful of other guys, there just aren't the resources to be THAT professional.
