There's exceptions to that rule, for me at least. If a farmer has an exemption to kill deer eating his crops or killing coyotes that eat his livestock, I'm okay with that.
That too. My cousin gives away a lot of deer meat for that reason. 50 deer can put a hurtin on a corn or bean crop.
I've got one farm I can hunt, but I've got to kill every deer I see. The landowner told me he wanted deer hauled out
I need to refine my coyote killing skills. Last year, they decimated my corn patch overnight. I wonder if I killed one and hung his carcass up in the middle of the corn patch if it would scare them off? I'd guess the other coyotes would get it down and eat it also.
I'm ok with that exception. My dad shot many a coyote when I was growing up. Heck, we could wipe those out and most country folks would be ok with it.
We'd use a jackrabbit in distress call on a walkman speaker strung out into an open section of timber on nights with a good moon and do pretty good whaling them.
Never had any experience with those, but a guy at church goes hunting on his FIL land down on the Alabama River a few times a year and kills about 3 per trip.
His farm is north of Paris. He said you can go out at night and turn the headlights on and it looks like a cattle farm.
I've killed a few with my father in law in south Georgia. They are amazingly quick and can take a lot of abuse
Senseless. Not owning up makes it more heinous. Failed practice (seems unavoidable) is a start. Strip him naked and see if he survives the night in the game reserve.
