I've got 2 mother bears with cubs, 3 cubs are a good size while the other 2 cubs are late born and very undersized for this time of the year and the coyotes have picked up on this.
A couple nights ago a pack moved in and set up on the escarpment in crescent form covering about a quarter mile of hill top. They howl back and forth in various pitch and are moving closer to my area where the bears are...and the bears are very edgy right now, especially the mother with the small cubs.
A couple days ago one coyote barreled through the yard right through the bears to see how they react. I know that those sneaky fuckers are planning an attack.
They're early tonight and they are close and I've got 2 weapons loaded for the kill, the .17WSM has the light attachment tonight, the MOSSBERG 500 is loaded with SSG and I've got the fire going with 8 bears around me.
The only downside is that the coyote hide is not prime yet ($150.00 per quality hide) but I don't give a fuck, I'm just in the mood to kill tonight.
@BulletStopper re "baiting into a kill zone"...I do have a couple specific "kill zones" that I make attractive with spoiled chicken...point of interest, when chicken turns green it'll gag a maggot from a distance, coyotes love it and it draws them in...a couple years ago a fox (I've got two fox here, they're just part of the household) picked up a half part of the chicken and brought it into the garage, it was evening and I was at the work bench with the door open, I didn't hear him come in, they're stealthy little fucks, but then the stench hit me from behind and I repulsed, fucking gross, I turned to run outside and there's the putrified green sludge of my coyote bait just inside the door, I didn't know exactly what was going on but I knew it was dragged in...15minutes later I see little fox buddy coming back with another piece of rotted flesh, "ohhh you little fucker". Baiting is good but you have to be on site at all times while it's there or else it gets dragged off...but nothing draws coyotes like rancid chicken. In fact I've got a story I'm going to post one of these days that involves rancid chicken and the cops.
