2013 Hunting

[SkinBasket]

Any of you idiots hunt coyote (the four legged animal) before? If so, any advice is appreciated. Gonna make me some coyote tacos.

[Joemailman]

Lure them in by dressing up like a roadrunner. The coyotes will all kinds of stupid shit. Meep Meep!

[hoosier]

You're going to eat a coyote? Are you Korean by any chance?

[Upnorth]

Get something dead and stinky, make a run using round bales three a side one at the back, place dead thing in center of run, wait. Coyotes can leap to the top of the round bale so be quick and accurate. Shot three in a row doing this once, waited a while got another then they buggered off.

Seeing as animals, like humans, are what they eat, why on earth would anyone actually go out of one's way to consume one of those putrid varmints?

If you run off a cliff, whatever you do, DO NOT check under your feet to determine whether the ground is still there. So long as you don't know, you will remain suspended in mid-air.

[mraynrand]

stinky pinky?

I'm half Korean and I am offended by this stereotype. We don't eat coyotes. We prefer nice plump Labrador retriever puppies.

Also, remember that when you paint a mural of a tunnel on a cliff face, you CANNOT treat is as a real tunnel.

It's meat. Furthermore, while I may be no doctor, I understand that there is a rather complicated process involved between the ingestion of an edible material and the use of the energy from said material to build muscle, so I'm not too worried about it. Yeah, they're pretty much dogs, but I want a return on my guineas they've eaten.

Also, I'm going to be baiting with trimmings from filet mignon and chicken breast since it's going to be a couple weeks before I slaughter another chicken, so he should taste wonderful if your concerns are founded. The wounded rabbit call is en route, so I'll go out next week in a blind. I would try the bale idea, but I'm keeping to the woods, near the scene of the last murdered bird. It's bow turkey and deer season and I don't want to get a visit from the game officer and have to convince him I'm just killing coyotes with the rifle. Apparently they're kind of real assfucks around here.

[hoosier]

I stand corrected. :-) In fact there probably are zero coyotes in Korea, it was just a crude way of expressing my own personal views on eating coyotes.

[Upnorth]

Skin, can you recognize mange? If not learn how because you don't want those little bugs anywhere near you or yours. Whenever I've killed a coyote with mange unless it is winter I leave them where they fall.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mange
Hoosier, they are deliciously extinct in Korea I believe. (ahh stereotypes the last resort of weak humor, where would we be with out you)

[SkinBasket]

From what I hear and have seen, that's not a big issue around here. But yeah, we're only going to eat it if it appears healthy. If I get a bald one, I might have it mounted.

Nothing like a true trophy animal for the den.

Only saw a doe this morning, so for the time being, I don't have to look up recipes.

[Upnorth]

Seeing as we are talking about weird desire to eat different foods, has anyone here ever had hippo? Every time I see one of those fat over grown pigs I think of the Flintstones opening when they throw the ribs on Fred's car and it tips over then I start to salivate.

[3irty1]

Guys I know that do it pretty much use it as an excuse to put to semi-pracitical use all their tacti-cool AR gear and night vision. I'll use that information to infer that they are mostly active at night.

Talking to farmers though I guess they are a major problem on par with how people think of wolves in Alaska. They're basically master tactician's when it comes to isolating and taking down domestic animals.

I one time heard that hippo is similar to horse although I find that hard to believe as horse is really lean and hippos look fat.

[hoosier]

Hippos are the most flatulent creatures on earth. I would not want to shoot one of those things for fear that the blast radius would exceed the range of whatever rifle is best suited for hippo hunting.

If they had too much fat, they would float.

Ate at the 'Carnivore Cafe' in Nairobi. They have a fire pit in the middle the size of a living room. The spits were roasting a 1/4 of zebra, impala, Ostrich leg, etc. There was a 100 lb hunk of Hippo on there. Tried everything (it was a Brazilian style service). Don't recall hippo standing out that much different than anything else.

[Upnorth]

Kenya, here I come. About fifteen years ago a friend told me about the Carnivore. Not often you hear about the same restaurant in nairobi.

Go get a raggedy stray from the animal shelter and leave it tied in an open area.

He might just eat the raggedy stray.

[SkinBasket]

Don't have to go get one either. Our area is apparently a hot spot for worthless cumsacks abondoning their dogs. They figure the farmers will either take them in or shoot them. Fucking townsfolk need to be shot. I wonder if coyote would be interested in human remains? But then I couldn't shoot them because they'd be full of evidence, and despite my scientific dissertation on digestion above, I'm not sure I would want to eat an animal that ate a dirty human.

Well there's a problem I can relate to. Little asshole. Cats rule this area, though.

some people use vasoline, I hear.

[SkinBasket]

Negotiating a hillbilly land deal has drawn my energy away from trying to kill something. I've got some old meat in the freezer and a wounded rabbit call, which came with instructions to "add emotion to your call" to really bring in the predators, because apparently apathetic animals don't taste as good. I did catch a cat in a live trap, but couldn't bring myself to eat it. It might belong to the neighbor and they're having enough trouble paying for their rapidly inflating health insurance premiums. They don't need the added cost of another cat. He did look a lot like the skunk I'm trying to capture and kill though.

When I lived in Kodiak my father and I used to go out dog hunting. Between the idiot seasonal cannery workers that left behind dogs and the local drunks that couldn't manage pets there was always a large pack of feral dogs running around chasing sitka blacktail. We would thin them out annually. Always fun to shoot a feral Lhasa Apso on the run.

[SkinBasket]

I'm not big on hunting horns, but it walked in front of me and we needs some meat in the freezer and he has plenty of that inside that fur suit... so POP and PLOP.

If he had Busch beer running through his veins, then yes.

[George Cumby]

Busch is highly underrated as a trash beer. Can't find it here in Cali.

[Little Whiskey]

Doesn't appear to have an exit wound. What did you shoot it with?

As I type I am in deer camp getting rained on. Probably got an inch of rain today.

[SkinBasket]

75 gr .223 HP laterally through the throat. If laterally means what I think it does. He dropped, rolled on his back and kicked for a few seconds, then passed peacefully surrounded by grass and weeds.

Yesterday was a waste with that storm. Hoping they're out for food this morning but that moon might have had them running around most the night, especially since it cleared up here at about 8pm.

Hippo is best cooked slow at about 300 F.

Serve it with Peri Peri Hot sauce.

" If you're brave enough to eat crocodile, ostrich & camel meat, just to name a few, then visit this place when you're in Nairobi. The meats are very tasty especially if you pair it with the right sauce. The waiter will tell you which sauce to use. It's quite a gastronomical experience, exotic indeed!

What's with the heavy ammunition.

My kid sister shot a coyote this fall back in New Brunswick with a 16 guage shotgun and NO. 6 shot. She let it walk in real close.

The fricken thing was toast.

[SkinBasket]

The numbers from the processor put his live weight at 280-300. No one, including myself, thought it was that heavy except formy old drunk neighbor who helped get him in the truck after I dressed it. I guess 50 years of deer hunting teaches you some shit.

Just got back from camp. Two doe on the last day. A ton of wind a ton of rain and crazy temp ranges made for a strange week.

[Deputy Nutz]

Leaving in two days for deer camp.

High of 19 degrees on opening day.

[SkinBasket]

Good luck homo.

I missed a doe yesterday. Took a shot I knew I shouldn't, unsupported and out of breath, but it was the first doe I've seen in 8 days and I'm tired of watching bucks wander around in front of me with their mocking eyes. At least I didn't maim her. My wife killed Lord Voldermort, an annoying 4 pointer, Friday with a .243 by breaking it's spine in half. And shredding the tenderloins.

[SkinBasket]

We had a low one morning of 19. It was god awful. I barely survived.

[SkinBasket]

Actually, I'm "hunting" right now. It's 50 so I had to put on a jacket.

It was 16 when we got to deer camp this year the. Warmed to mid 50's then snow and wind on our final hunt day.

Good luck.

[SkinBasket]

Beautiful morning in the woods. 40 degrees, light cloud cover, no wind, and I think I just shit myself a little trying to push a fart out. Tomorrow is rain and the weekend will be cold so I'd like to knock over a doe today and be done.

[SkinBasket]

Mission complete. Doe and her daughter, who was almost as big as her, came up the creek. Waited til she came out and stood still before tossing a lead salad in her chest. She ran about 50 yards into the field before she fell over and rolled down a hill. The youngin came out of the creek and stopped about 15 yards away from the stand looking at me with accusing eyes, but I didn't want anymore meat, so I shooed her off. She followed her mother into the field and bleated over her dead body for 15 minutes before I went out to collect her. It was very sad and almost moved me to end her suffering. Almost.

Your post knock up was revised to knock over.....Thank the Lord Jesus. Although it appears your weapon has changed from a rifle to a club. Maybe you simply wrestle and beat the sucker to death?

My initial thought and 'knock up a doe ...', was that we don't want an unnecessary decline in whitetail deer geneology and lately they've come a long way.

Ended up trading the doe for a hand crafted tripod stand one our local Germans built and wasn't using anymore.

[SkinBasket]

Word from my family is that WI was a disappointing hunt. Truth?

[Joemailman]

Word from my family is that WI was a disappointing hunt. Truth?

Yes. Opening weekend buck kill was down 18% statewide. In the north it was worth than that. Vilas County was down 27%, and many northwest counties were worse than that. http://dnr.wi.gov/files/pdf/Opening_weekend_harvest_2013.pdf

The people who were out all week may have done okay, because weather conditions did improve.

[Little Whiskey]

Visited a friends place in the U.P. over thanksgiving. My wife and oldest son (who is 8) got their first deer. My son was pretty excited. So was his old man!!

[Deputy Nutz]

WI, season was a little down from last year, 7% less kill. The DNR didn't hand out antlerless permits like candy this year so that might be a reason. I shot two doe. One right after another at 10:30am Sunday morning of opening weekend. I spend the rest of the day skinning and butchering them. It was quite the experience and I will do it again.

Went out Wednesday morning, and Thursday morning, but only saw 4 doe, and I was only hunting bucks at that point.

It was never above 26 degrees all week

[Freak Out]

The the cold weather affects the hunting/deer or you are just a pussy?

[Deputy Nutz]

It is a grass is greener debate. Cold weather sucks for the hunter, but it gets the deer moving. Our main issue in our neck of the woods was that a majority of the corn has not been picked yet. The standing corn acts like a grocery store that you can live in for deer. 16 mph winds didn't help.

[Little Whiskey]

Is this the first time you butchered your own deer, nutz?

[SkinBasket]

Is it possible to stalk bedded deer close enough to take with a bow? Usually they let the dog get within shooting distance before they jump up, but she's always running. I was thinking if I'm real quiet, I might sneak up on them.

[Freak Out]

That's tough to do Skin....let alone doing it with a bow. I've gotten really close to Sitka blacktail bucks before but not when they were sleeping.

[SkinBasket]

It was more of a "if I wake up still drunk" idea. When it's warm, I might try ninja attacking them.
