You keep saying that but I will never forget the stand where you and I watched those yearling heifers run that coyote in a big circle only to deliver him right into our laps....darndest thing I ever seen....

I tell that story all the time. That coyote just wouldnt give up! Those girls meant to kill him. lol

We got lucky on that stand, most of the time if the cows start running around acting a fool the coyotes will not risk getting stomped into powder. Them hooves are sharp!

Anyone who has ever hunted with me knows beyond a shadow of a doubt my hatred for cows is genuine and very real. I hope someday I win the lottery. I will go straight to a couple of my farmers with a handful of cash, buy every cow he has and commence to shooting every last one of them. Not just shoot them either. Im gonna gut shoot them so its a slow painful death. I have spoken in unknown tounges cussing them sorry things. Ive had to make up a few cuss words because I feel the English language just dont have strong enough verbiage to offer enough bad words.
 
Friend says if he wins the lottery he's gonna push sheep out the back of a C130 to feed the coyotes.

You think we can squeeze a few cows in there too?

If the broomtails I want to push out don't take up too much room I'm sure he'd be okay hollering Geronimo on a few cows.

I was at a cattle ranch the other day when a c130 flew over extremely low. We joked about how many cows would fit in there for transport.

there is more to that story, it also includes having a bull dozer create small guzzlers with piped in water, the dirt removed for the guzzler is mounded up to create a vantage point to make a stand off of and provide a place to hide the truck. have these set in a line every 2 miles on the valley floor. every other week a c130 would fly over and sheep would be pushed out the back so as to provide food for coyotes. YES I hate sheep, hate them!!! everytime I see them I hope coyotes eat them. I know its bad.

as for cows and calling around them, use some common sense. I grew up on a cattle ranch, so maybe perhaps this innate to me and not others. I don't purposely try to freak the cows out. I used to call around them in my more early days of calling, probably had something to do with often the areas cattle are in are flatter and more field like and it was easier to see coyotes just among them, which led me to think cows = coyotes. Now days while I don't hate to call around them, I don't seek it out really. I do prefer not to be on top of them when making a stand. I like them at least 400 yards from me. The coyotes seem more relaxed or I dunno more likey to come in when I haven't been really close to cattle. I do find they react differently to calling. sometimes they moo with curiosity. which I don't like it when that happens, other times they bug out and get the heck out of dodge. Other times they simply don't even act like anything is happening. Either way I am not looking to pressure them and send them stampeding.

horses well that is another matter. I have personally seen coyotes come to the call pop over a hill and see horses, come to a stop and think to themselves, I hate horses!! and leave the way they came in. I prefer for the horses not be be close enough to impact the calling. but again they react differently to calling as well. I have called them to within sniffing range of a calling partner, which was funny, I thought he might shoot one. He watched a movie of a horse stomping someone, which is actually a very foreign concept to just about every horse. other times their reaction can be about like the cattle. I think coyotes are much more scared of horses than they are cattle.

I hate calling around cows, they always come in to investigate, horses also.

At one ranch up in Idaho years ago, we shot the heck out of chucks in a Cattle feed lot, with owners permission. He told us that if we hit a cow, just come and get him, they needed to butcher one.

We were shooting 17 Mach4 with 25g bergers and 17 Rem, never touched a cow and shot all around the cows, under their legs, under their belly's. The feed lot looked like the Battle ground at Gettysburg with all the dead chucks.

Cows have never paid much attention to our shots except in Az where we were hunting among WILD dessert cattle..
