COOSEFAN Report post Posted February 22, 2012 Here's another reflection of past seasons. You all might remember me posting TCam pics of the coyotes killing one of the bucks I was after last season. I showed up a couple days after the event to check my cam and I immediately found peices of a deer floating in the spring near my cam. I was shocked to check the pics and see it was one of my bucks and it was coyotes that killed em'! I spent several days looking for the rest of the deer but never found em'. While rounding up cattle the ranch owner finally found the carcass wrapped up in the thick stuff not far from the spring. It was in a thick ravine about 200 yards from the spring and I wasn't surprised I missed it in there, I should've looked more in there. It was cool to finally put my hands on it and really sucked knowing that coyotes took em' out. The worst part, and I know it's just mother nature, but it took those coyotes at least 30 mins to finally kill the buck and I think they drowned him in the spring! Here's some of the pics and the head.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gotcoues Report post Posted February 23, 2012 What a bummer Jim. That thing is a toad! My boys and I are taking a crash course in predator hunting this yr. Doing a little research on callers and then we're on a mission to lay some killers down. I've always wanted to do my part and just have never made time to do it and learn more about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
