I was turkey hunting and in the process of setting up decoys for fly down. I left my un-loaded shotgun at my seat and walked out about 30 yards to set up the dekes. I noticed something moving at the edge of the clearing I was in. Coyote. I didn't have my face net down yet and he didn't spook. He began circling me. I normaly pack a handgun just for these occaisions but this morning I didn't. I started backing up toward my shotgun and kept my eyes on him the whole time. He was posturing agressively. I slipped a shell in the BPS and walked back toward my decoys. He had moved up to right at 12 yards. I lowered the boom on him. I don't know if he was thinking about eating me or if he was protecting his turf. We hate yotes here as bad as people hate wolves in the north west. Bobcats and foxes deal with rodents without all the bad things that come from yotes. reflex264

They are getting more aggressive. They used to run at the first sent of people. they are now in every county here in Florida. They love the California suburbs.

Too bad Southeastern yote hides aren't worth much.

Good thing you planted that one. Sounds like he was being awfully aggressive.

Yea if I ran across one here acting that way I would have it checked for rabies.
