One of the civilian instructors I had in the Army was an old farm boy from Kentucky.
Said he used to love possum until one of their cows died but they didn’t find it for a few days so it was good and bloated when they did. He said he tied up it’s front legs, hooked a chain to it and started to drag it off with a tractor and as soon as the carcass moved two possums shot out of it’s asshole. I guess they like to start with a soft spot and eat their way in.

Not just that but look at some of the nasty, rotten crap you can catch them with.
Part of why I’ve become a fan of flatheads. They may hang out on mud flats all day long but they are a pure predator. If you’re fishing with shad sides or some rotten livers you’re not fishing for flatheads.

Racoon hunting is one of the best things in the world IMO. I really dont know why I like running through the woods in pitch darkness and cold chasing a barking dog but its so much fun. Very greasy meat though.

He doesn't post here so I didn't want to throw his picture around for the world to see. He'll wind up in PETA monthly and that will be me hanging up next to him.

And that's about the least tasty way to eat snapper IMO...

We need a Chiefsplanet wildlife cookoff.

If you're doing it by yourself, just call them. It's pretty fun, easy, and effective. If you call correctly, they'll be hauling ass your direction. You can get a little call that sounds like a wounded rabbit.

If you really want to have fun with it though, get some greyhounds. The best and most fun way to hunt coyotes is to run them with dogs.

My family has quite a bit of land to hunt around McPherson and Salina, KS. We have several pickups that are used for nothing but hunting coyotes. Flatbeds with dog boxes on the back. We drive around till we see a coyote, and then get close enough to release the dogs and let them run the coyote down. I can't tell you how many broken axles and frames we've suffered hauling ass through the fields after a coyote. We have about a dozen greyhounds, and some of them come from very good bloodlines. It's an amazing experience to see them run down a coyote.

If anyone is into that, my uncle sells quite a few pups every year. If you want a great coyote hunting greyhound, I could easily arrange that.

Heh, I see guys doing that all around the in-laws farm.
Looks fun, and a good excuse to tear ass around in a 4X4.

There used to be a group of guys in this area that did the Greyhound thing. One problem with them was that they just went where ever they wanted. If the gates were closed they opened them and went in and drove peoples pastures/farmground. Lots of times they would just leave the gates open when they left. They would tie down electric fences also so their dogs wouldn't get shocked...so peoples cattle got out. They would rut up farm ground and pretty much just drive across anything they wanted.
They screwed up several hunting spots for us just because some of the landowners figured we were from the same town so they wouldn't let us hunt anymore.
I'm sure it's fun and all but this group really got a bad reputation in this area...we started calling the sherriff on them everytime we saw them after awhile.

Sofa King · 11-03-2009, 11:44 AM

We just use the pickups to hunt the coyotes... every Sunday during the winter we get a group of around 10 pickups, then we run out all the land we have permission to. anything gets broke, we fix it.. we stay off land we dont have permission.. and it's a ton of fun.. occationally we pile up pickups, but we're only using ol junkers to do it..

nothing better than flying 80 through a field hot on a coyote... then the ol' shotgun out the window trick.. lotta adrenalin!

i know what you're thinking, but it's completely legal.. the only way it isn't, is if it's got a snowmobile involved.. which we never use..

to be fair though, i also call the coyotes...

"Calling all Coyotes" is a good series of videos to learn how to call from.

That's pretty common and a pretty big reason why so many land owners don't like coyote hunters and take it out on all hunters by not allowing ANYONE on their land. We've had gates left open, new seeding torn up, and one afternoon, while sledding on the back side of our farm, a couple of trucks roared over the hill and jumped out to shoot over us at a coyote they're run into our pasture. They didn't...but it's a problem.
