  1. I’ve had to dispatch several whitetail with a knife. One was a friend making a bad shot, the others were hit by cars and struggling on the side of the road. It’s amazing that people can sit and watch an animal suffer but yet call a hunter cruel and heartless. I’m telling you first hand, wild animals are powerful. They’re also very intelligent and can read into your actions incredibly well. Whether you’re a tourist, hiker or hunter, when you enter their world, always be prepared!

  2. When you're stalked by a wolf, and walk towards it. Show no fear. And when you raise a wild raccoon.. There's a feeling that you get if you've been raised to respect nature. Not one citiot will realize…

  3. Here in rural south Texas where we have had a human population shift of people moving out of San Antonio into the surrounding areas we have had some problems with habituated coyotes. Coyote hunting in general is just not popular around my area so between the small dogs, cats, chickens and the dog food left out on porches combined with regular human coyote interactions occurring without any negative results for the coyotes they rather quickly lost their normal fear of humans. It became much more likely to see them moving around in open areas during broad daylight, to have them near your home or shop even if people were outside. I had one on my porch about an hour before sunset eating out of a dogfood bowl (we bring in the bowls when the dogs come in) that initially trotted about 10 yards and say down when I opened the door. After a couple incidents where coyotes were seen stalking, or in one case "Testing" a few kids a few of us decided it was time to get proactive in preventing a predatory attack that would most likely end with a child being severely injured or killed. It became a shoot on site, whether you went actively hunting them or you just got an opportunity to shoot at them alongside a back road (if it can be done safely of course) . In one dedicated hunt using suppressed weapons and bait at night under a dim red light we took 25 coyotes in a 4 hour period. Otherwise it was a coyote here, a coyote there every week or two resulting in a total of around 40 coyotes taken in a month in one of the largest counties in Texas that is almost entirely rural in its makeup. After that we had zero reported incidents of problem behavior by coyotes involving humans for about 4 years. When a drought struck and coyotes, along with most other wildlife became desperate for food and water drove the coyotes to approach chicken coops, stock tanks, farm yards, trash cans, compost piles and porches looking for food and water we were quick to react and simply shooting at them a couple times, whether you hit them or not seemed to reinforce the lesson taught a couple years earlier and they would keep their distance. It is remarkable how quickly they can understand when people present a danger to them or not, and how fast fear can change to curiosity, and then into predatory behavior once they determine that there will be no bad consequences for interacting with people.
