Thats the first pic I've ever posted, why did it come out sideways?
Congrat's!
My son and I got our first one last weekend also.
I jumped it while looking for deer and hit it on the run with my muzzle loader, then went and got my 12yr old and a pistol. We tracked it to a log pile and could see it inside looking out at us, he finished it off with his 410. I usually just get to shoot AT them, they don't stay still long when you jump them and they are a small target inside a lot of fur.
What are you going to do with it?
Mine is still in the back of my truck, frozen solid.

I don't think so, it was a male though. We are over run with coyote's in northern IL. I had the slowest deer season ever this year, and I think these guys are the reason. After I arrowed this guy he ran back into the cat-tail swamp he came from and let out his death-howl. Coyotes came running in from all directions, probably about 4 or 5. If I would of had my AR15 I probably would of had a few more to pose with. I don't think their killing the deer in my area but there definetly making their movements much harder to pattern. As soon as bow season is over I'm thinking of purchasing an electronic call, and really start going after these sobs.

I was actually out deer hunting with my ol smoke pole when I jumped it. It was about 10 yards away when I jumped it and it took off and I whistled and it stopped at about 35 yards away. It was standing in the brush facing away from me but I let it fly and ended up hitting it in the back part of the spine. I took it in that same day to get it stuffed. He said it would be about 3-4 months till I get it back.
I bought a few calls and a decoy last year but only got out a few times. I plan on getting out more this year and I’m going to give snaring a try too.

There definately tough to hunt, it kicks the adrenaline in when your working the call, lying prone and you realize a couple worked in 10 yards behind . Of course when I was tailed into my stand by a group of 5 wolves that was a little interesting way to start the day...

It was def an adrenaline rush. I would like to buy a nice AR15 but I can’t really justify spending that much right now. Guess my single shot H&R .223 will have to work.

I have been waiting for the tree hugger comments and nothing yet. Thats why I like this site like minded individuals.
Okay I'll start it. "How could someone shoot such a cute little animal!"

We recently attended a friends' anniversary party in Mundeliein,and when nightfall came the coyotes really came in close !! They are VERY thick there,and aren't afraid of people either. They need to be thinned out big time,and if i lived there with kids i would be worried about sending them out to play.
