J.Holly,not flaming you,but the way I see it,hunting coyotes with dogs,is really no different than hunting rabbits with dogs.The dog kicks up the rabbit for the hunter to shoot.Same goes for coyotes,around here the dogs will run the coyotes or drive them for the hunter to get a shot.Man has hunted game with dogs since probably the beginning of time,with primitive weapons.The dog hunting aspect hasnt changed much,basically the same techniques,but our weapons have changed and improved greatly,so one could ask the same about our weapons we use now,and how there un sporting because they give you more advantage over your game,and less of a sporting chance for the animal.For all the guys who havnt hunted with dogs,go hunting with someone who does and see for yourself what it's really like before forming an opinion.If you think it's the lazy way,your in for a surprise,I can pretty much gaurantee you by the end of the day you will be dog tired,whether your hunting coyotes,cats,bears or what have you.I never understood why some hunters are against others hunting methods that are perfectly legal.I've heard comments from other hunters about us callers,making the statement of what kind of sport is calling,it's like calling in and shooting a house dog.I hear hunters bashing bowhunters,saying what kind of sport is bowhunting,sitting in a tree waiting for an unsuspecting deer to shoot with a less than lethal weapon.Or some bashing trapping,saying it's not a sport to shoot something in a trap,its like shooting a tethered dog.But again,if we havent done it,we really cant say what it is,we can only speculate and draw a conculsion from our own experience and bias,if we have never done it.What ever trips a guys trigger works for me.
