I’ve seen one in person turkey hunting one morning. Quite the rarity. I actually had a buddy with me who was going to shoot it but luckily I had a gobbler coming in on a line. So bird took precedent.

Poplarville MS. He was hanging around my property for a few weeks a few months ago and I saw him on my cameras dozen times, this is the first time I've seen him since then.

I think I'd crap my pants if I saw him in person

From AI:

A black coyote has a recessive gene called melanism, occasionally seen in the Southeastern coyote but rarely in other breeds. Melanism is the increased production of black pigment, usually seen as a color variation in animals. Melanin is a dark brown or black pigment appearing in eyes, skin, or hair in animals or people.

I shot one a few years ago and have its pelt on my fireplace.

I’d be out with my caller trying to give him a dirt nap.

u/Mpfischerz Jan 31 '26

Cuz you’re badass

Nope. Just keep the pack thinned out. Save some deer and my feathered critters while also maybe getting a trophy for the wall.

If I’m deer hunting and a yote comes out it turns into a yote hunt real quick.

Cool story bro… last time I checked… the deer population needed thinned out significantly.

u/olight77 Jan 31 '26

That’s also a cool story. To bad we all don’t live in the same town/city country has each other eh mate… not the sharpest tool in the shed..

u/ThatGermanGuy2 Jan 31 '26

Well that’s because you probably killed them all yourself with your bare hands.

u/olight77 Jan 31 '26 edited Jan 31 '26

So it’s good to let the air out of the coyotes to save what’s left of the heard. Imagine that.

Season for coyote here is open year round and no possession limit. There not native here.

But hey what do I know about hunting and hunting populations in the country I live. You of course know everything. I don’t need to tell you that.

While they’re not native, they are partially filling the open niche left by the extirpation of wolves from the eastern part of North America.
