Dear LT WOMBAT. You seem a little spineless as you don't want the viscera spilled on your land. You may reconsider and maybe eat some of the good parts as parts are parts. Maybe if you're so gung ho about killing you may do it yourself and not hide down the end of a gun. Get out there with your knife and start cutting. I would prefer that my dog or cat be killed and hopefully eaten by an animal and not someone without spine such as yourself. If by chance my child runs into one of these beast i'll hope that you're there to tell us about all the children that have been eaten by the coyote. Where. when. how many? We want details.
Hmmm, personal attack with 6th grade name calling; how mature!!
If I could get them close enough to kill by hand with a knife, club, bad joke punch lines, I would do it. But since they like to stay out in the pasture with their kills (our stock) I use the rifle.
As for the viscera being spilled on my land, darn right! The last thing I want is something calling more in.
I'm not gung ho about killing, I donât even hunt or fish. The only things I kill are injured animals, yotes, stray dogs and cats. And our property is healthy because of this practice. Strays only bring disease and death to a ranch.
If I am gung ho about anything itâs raising our stock to an age they can be used or sold. I don't put up 20 tons of hay, plus grain, plus bedding, plus medical supplies and vet visits, just to have a coyote pass by all the deer in the forest (deer are extremely over populated in the Black Hills) to eat a pastured animal because itâs easier for the yote.
Now if I was a truly gung ho killer I would track and destroy them in the wild. Maybe even track them to their dens and kill the pups using carbon monoxide or pouring diesel down the opening and lighting it, but no, I wait until they pose a direct threat by coming onto the property.
As for the kid issue: never personally known a family with a loss, but have seen such stories in the media.
If you feel they deserve to live unhampered by man then please come by with cash in hand and pay for me to have a 12 foot high chain link fence installed around all 1500 acres. Then all 3 of us will be happy.
Until then, PLEASE be civil and donât launch personal attacks with 6th grade name calling. Everyone on the forum will appreciate it.
