Quote:In GA, coyotes are considered a nuisance (not by me, but by the state of GA). I feel, and alot of farmers that I know, feel that coyotes are in the same category as a cockroach. Therefore, I don't care what you shoot a coyote with, just shoot it. I would shoot one with a 22, 17hmr, or a bb gun. Coyotes and ethical do not even go in the same sentence. I saw a DNR ranger who was in the process of bulldozing land on a WMA, he dug up a coyote den and unscrewed the puppies heads and tossed them to the side. A Armadillo is in the same category and delt with the same. You can hunt them day or night 7 days a week and shoot them with what ever you got. Georgia will appreciate it very much.
I agree there seems to be a lot of hostility in the threads. I wont comment on my feeling on the air rifle deal, but i have to say that as far as i am concerned (y opinion), I respect every animal i kill enough to try my best to make it a quick and ethical kill everytime, i dont even like seeing crawl offs with PD's and gophers. So as far as "Coyotes and ethical do not even go in the same sentence," i think this is nothing but cannon fodder for the Anti's, but every person has their own values and ethics and i am not trying to impose mine on anybody and force anyone to feel the way i do, just posting "MY" opinion on the matter.
