That was a nice drop on the pine tree. Just the right amount of hinge to keep it straight, but enough cut to get momentum to carry it to the ground. Good Job! You had your inner Buckin' Billy flowing through you!
Mike, First time commenting. About the coyotes. It is NOT illegal to hunt coyotes at night in PA. We do it all the time in Central PA. I use a very strong Red light to spot the coyotes and they don't spook but don't use a regular white light must be red., best to have a partner to run the light and one shooter with a small caliber rifle. I use a 22-250. I also use a Fox Pro electronic game call but you could start out with mouth calls. Do some research and have some fun disposing of them coyotes. Be safe!
IN Jersey they are even in the Meadowlands around Giants Stadium only 6 miles from downtown Manhatten...Jersey you can,t use rifle at night ….and attacks on humans are increasing
I have a bluetooth outdoor speaker, and just use a calling app on my phone. Again, very cheap as the speaker was only $30 and I purchased it at a local hunting show.
22-250 my go to rifle. I've shot 37 coyotes all during day at our farm in Illinois.
There is nothing quite as satisfying as watching a tall tree fall exactly where you want. Looks like you have plenty of lumber standing there.

- with the dual placement of the cameras it was almost as good as being there. good job on that Mike.
Fra-gee-lee ! Must be a fan of net stocking leg lamps! "It's a major award !"
Bruce Larson yes! LoL that was awesome!
Mike and Melissa, Thank you for your channel. This is your friend from Delaware. Everyone know's from watching you guys your are 100% great Americans. But can I ask a favor of you two. Can you please remind everyone again of what a great county this is and what it took to get here. And the reason we are still here is because of our great military. My request may sound a bit self serving but truly it's from the heart.Our son is in the service and has been for about 20 years he has a wife and 4 children at home. In few days he leaves for a long deployment to place that is very dangerous at this time. He loves your channel and would be right there cutting and splitting wood or a little hunting deer if possible. So this 4th of July he will be watching but many thousands of miles from home. If could say thanks to K.C. and to his many brothers ans sister that a keeping us safe it would be a blessing. Proud Parents .from Delaware.
K.C. I want to thank you for your service to our country and for keeping us safe and free to do everything we do. It's because of you and your fellow service men and women that this country is as awesome as it can be
Back when I was in Utah my brothers and I tried hunting coyotes because the state would pay a $50/head bounty, but they are smart little buggers. Never got a single one.
Did you try calling them in ? Used to shoot them alot for the bounty when I was a young man. 100 yards out with a 7mm Remingtion mag. They never knew what hit 'em .
We're on 230 acres in Northern Ontario, coyotes are around but I rarely see them. My dog however, brings home deer parts on a fairly regular basis although I've never found a carcass.
Thanks for the video and can’t wait to see the tool rake revealing. I agree with what everyone has been saying about the coyotes as we have been living with them for 20 years on my property. I have had them try and bait my dogs with wanting to play, but know of the consequences as I assumed more were waiting fir them to take the bait and follow. They have been taking out a lot of the neighborhood cats and raid all the fast food restaurant dumpsters around me as I can see the resulting “evidence”. They usually are pretty timid animals and don’t attack humans, but in a large pack all bets are off.
Hey Hunter! Give your pup a birthday hug. ✋🏻👴🏻
Coyotes are pretty smart, my guess is that buck was either injured, or you have way more coyotes than you really want in your woods...Good luck with the issue. Stay safe..
I am betting on way more coyotes than anyone wants.
True, but I have seen more than one coyote dead on the road after being hit by a car just on I-279 inbound into Pittsburgh alone. They are really thick south of I-80 in western PA.
@@sabgab that's why its a good idea stay armed and be vigilant ....keep an eye on your dogs....there is no such thing as a "good shot" if 2 or three coyotes are in a mix with your dog....it's tough...we had a coyote issue in New Mexico when I was a kid and it wasn't good... they can get out of control ..We fixed it with MORE dogs...we got some BIG dogs and let them run the property.
@@sabgab Then there's a good amount of food for them. They don't re-produce if they can't sustain the population.
@@MikePhumanaut too much posted ground, and a rather high population of people, and hot enough hunters. Allegheny County has for years had trouble controlling the deer population.
Around us in KY I've heard of coyotes taking calves, and some nights the cattle near us are restless and crying all night. I've seen a pack of 12 within 50 feet of my fence behind my house and they tried to bait my 70 pound dog out. A common trick in mating season they use is to send a lone In heat female near a male dog and let it lure it to the hiding pack. Our county issues warnings during mating season.
Mark Thompson What’s even worse is when a person has timber wolves doing the same thing. Northern MN has a lot of problems with these killing machines.
I interpret that first call the leader gives as "We're friendly, won't you come out and play?" But it gets more and more vicious after that.
OK here is my understanding of the Coyote or wild dog problem. White Tails are a cud chewing animal. They can't run forever, they need to stop to rechew their browse. A dog/coyote can trot along for days. If they focus on an animal, when browse is scarce, all they need to do is push. Eventually, through stress and the need to rechew a cud, a deer will literally run out of energy. At this point, one or two coyotes can down a deer. Your problem will be magnified in the spring. White Tail fawns literally have no scent. A Doe will hide them and unless a Coyote sees them or stumbles on them, they are safe. However, a large pack of coyotes can cover a vast amount of acreage. They will use their numbers while covering your woods to increase the possibility of taking a fawn. Find some one in your area that hunts or traps them. Learn the best method, in your area, to deal with them. They can devastate a deer and turkey population.
I've been dealing with coyotes since we moved in our house we built. I've killed seven since October 1st. They can be tough to deal with. I found several carcasses just like that less than a couple of hundred yards from my house. I have two young girls and two golden retrievers. when I found those carcasses all I could think about was what would they do to my four-year-old. Good luck taking care of them Mike.
They can be bold too. We’ve had them in our fenced garden chasing a rabbit right next to the house!
I have had them in my barn, about ran me over running out. They cleaned out all my barn cats. Ron
They killed my neighbors 100 lb Rottweiler who was tied up to his tree within reach of the house, in his usual area, with a 50’ rope, and they chewed his face off nuthin else
Happy Birthday Piper!!! Such a pretty pup!
As far as your question about coyotes, I am in Elk County,Pa. and we hunt and trap them all the time here. It can take as little as 2 to take down a full sized deer. But they usually hunt in a pack of 5 or more.
I was chased one hunting season by a pack of 8, almost dusk on the 1st day of doe season many moons ago. Mid 90's era. I was struggling back towards my pickup in almost waist deep snow and heard the yipping behind me, turned and saw a pack of 8 coming up the "trail" that i had made. They were about 50 yards off. I took 4 shots at them with my rifle, but the low light conditions made it hard for the .300 Weatherby to find its target. When I was within 50 ft of my pickup, I had drawn my .357 revolver, because I couldn't see them anymore but I sure could hear them! The hunter became the hunted! Very bone chilling experience!
The heck with a scope get Melissa an AA12 for her birthday. Coyotes problem solved quickly. God bless
Naa, Just a scope for the muzzle loader. She can already out shoot Mike with it (LOL). Put a scope on it and she could 'bark' two squirrels, on different trees, with one shot.
what is an AA12 ?
My nephew informed me that it is a shotgun. Live and learn
@@jmwarden1 It's a Fully Auto Shotgun - Machine gun!
@@JeepinMaxx thanks Frank that ought to take out some coyotes
Happy Birthday Melissa, you are looking good.
I felt I never fully matured as a person until I turned 50.
Just another awesome episode ! Thanks Morgan folks!💕
I love how playful Melissa is. Reminds me of my wife....well, most of the time. During deer season, when I see a coyote, they are always alone. Outside of deer seasons, I have ran into a pack of 6 and 7. Not sure how many are needed to take down a deer, but I was told a single coyote can take down a small deer. I have read in the Missouri Conservationists that they usually hunt in packs. One will hold the animal down by the throat, while the rest will open it up and eat it alive. Sorry if that grosses you out.
"Just a bunch of gangsters" LOL, y'all need to show them some Morgan Justice!
David Walden I know that was awesome when she said that!
Hello To the Morgans !! Glad to hear from you.
Happy Birthday Melissa! My bd is Monday, just a lot older by 14 years. Take care of them fur babies, say “Hi” to the girls and Hunter. I would like for you to pray for my wife, she is in the hospital for the sixteenth time in twenty years , with abdominal blockages and maybe her sixteenth surgery. In His name , God bless you and yours.
Good morning Mike and Melissa I'm watching One y'all new videos today y'all have a great day and God bless🙏🙏
Check out the news, regarding 3 coyotes and a cat in Chicago suburb. Cat kicked butt.
With your situation there it would be a pack hunting together 6 or more
Happy Birthday to Piper, great dog. 17th is my 77th! The 18th is Melissa big day, what a wonderful
side kick for Mike, Hunter and the girls. The sign of the GOAT is something else. We are all the cream
of the crop!! Love your clips!

*My brother-in-law kills the squirrels that are always trying to chew their way into the attic and usually just tosses the carcasses out into the yard behind the house. Well, the carcasses kept disappearing so he set up a cam to see what was taking them. Sure enough, it was a coyote. They have a 600-acre farm in southern Ontario and while there's lots of deer and fox none of us had seen any signs of coyotes in the 55 years they've lived there until this year.*
Happy birthday to Piper and Mellisa! What does Mellisa carry when walking in the woods. In the woods, I usually carry a Taurus Judge Poly Public Defender .410 pistol loaded with 3, #3 buckshot., and 2 45 Long Colt.. We have coyotes and feral hogs that can be aggressive.
Happy Birthday to Melissa! Mine is Tuesday and I’ll be 50, too! And, happy birthday to Piper!! Whoop!! 5 years! Love the pups! And, hubby could spend hours watching you cut trees!
The deer may have been I'll or wounded.
that would be my thoughs as well ,
You NEED an ATN Thor 4 heat vision scope! You can record video off of it for the channel!!! It's only $2600 on Amazon, way cheaper than 3 grand AND they give you FREE SHIPPING with that!!! Lol....
I love the shots of the sky through the trees
Greetings from No. VT - A nice snowy morning. I am not a hunter but my neighbor is an avid hunter. Over the years we have had to deal with coyotes periodically moving in and attacking deer in our area. Your comment about the small buck possibly being injured is very likely, from what I have heard from him. Out in the woods the coyote packs tend to go after the easy kills; small game, weak/injured deer, domestic dogs/cats, etc. The good news is that once the pack has cleared out weak and infirm in an area they tend to move on, but Melissa carrying a rifle while walking the dogs is really a good idea.
Morning Mike.... Here in Colorado it doesn’t happen too often that I’ve seen, but the times I have, it’s been packs of 5-6. Usually we don’t see it unless the rabbit and turkey populations are down. Unusual that it was a buck they took, unless he was protecting the does... More often here when a deer is taken it’s cats, but they eat part and cover the rest with pine needles or leaves and come back later. So your call is likely accurate. Will message you.
I found a coyote deer kill in my woods in Michigan last weekend and have found plenty of deer bones over the years. Not that uncommon.
Hi Mike and Mallisa!!😀😀❤
I have a feeling that the deer was possibly wounded on maybe dead from deer hunting season and the coyotes just found it and cleaned it up. It's not too likely that they killed it. We have a couple big packs of them around our place and I've only seen them take down young fawns. But never adult deer.
Happy birthday Pipper and Malisa!!😀😀
I'm sorry to hear of your coyote problem Morgans. That must be very concerning for everyone's safety. I learned a good lesson today from this video. Be sure to read both the title and description of the content before automatically clicking play. I've been a Paramedic for 24 years and can work on injured people without hesitation but, like many of my coworkers, we have problems seeing animals torn apart like that buck was. Best of luck with your hunting. Have you checked out the FLIR spotting scope? I believe they have one around $400ish.
Hey Mike: In the Finger Lakes region of New York here: Two nights ago my neighbor went outside and ran into two coyotes. They stood their ground and growled at him! Never heard of that.
Very nice drop on that pine. For what it's worth. I like to make my drop cut one buck above the bottom. Easier to maneuver the saw. Then just chop off the bottom piece.
Keep those great videos coming.
Is there any chance that the deer was wounded during hunting season?or
Absolutely. Coyotes above all else are opportunists. Old, injured, alone, young, dead or dying,, anything that is a weakness, coyotes are on it. That is a first choice for a coyote.
@@Sailor376also Shouldn't be. Antler restrictions here.
@@talezfromthedashcam3138 seriously?? Guess is it was a wounded Deer mistaken for legal or someone who just doesn't care about antler restrictions. The Pa Game Commission is a joke and will learn once CWD destroys PAs herd Bc of mismanagement.
@@edhlavaty6914 Respectfully disagree. That was a year and half old buck at best. Easy pickins for a pack. Coyotes aren't game management. The next thing they do is move into the burb's. I've got them outside my housing plan and they're favorite food is house cat. Last week a read an article where a child was attacked outside Chicago. Just look at Mike and Melissa's chicken disaster from one fox. They be hunted 24/7 365 for a reason. Funny, antler restrictions and slaughtering the doe population (thank you Gary Alt) did little to curtail CWD. Now there are door deer in state forest land and the no game lands. All the deer hide next to the houses.
You all turn my stomach
Hey guys I think that size of deer was probably wounded in some way.Thanks Dave. Enjoy your show
I'm a recent subscriber and a fellow Pennsylvania resident. Love your videos. Take care of those coyotes. Keep the videos coming.
Maybe the buck was wounded prior to the attack. Be safe out there.
Though the same thing
Yep. Or sick. Is CWD there yet?
@@chrise4994 I believe it has been found in Southern PA. Up here in the north of PA it still hasn't been found. Hope it stays that way.
wounded by ankle bites from the "Dogs"
When certain species hunt in packs against larger animals, one tactic that is often used is that they grab at the ankles knees and front legs first....you know the rest
Glad to hear Melissa carries. If you're out with the dogs and see them, shoot first and ask questions later.
Happy Birthday piper. The look Mellisa gave you abou the night vision scope said "we" aren't getting that unless it comes in the bottom of a pool.
My family have been farmers/ranchers in Eastern Washington for about as long as possible and we used to have a lot of coyote hunting on our lands. We have since stopped that and true nuisance animals like gopher and ground squirrel populations of fallen way off. Horses and cattle don’t get injured and we actually tend to our stock, so we don’t have any issues with them bothering our calves. I frankly enjoy sitting on the porch at night and hearing the coyotes calling back and forth to each other. We have a pack of Caucasian Ovcharkas (see also Caucasian shepherd dog) that help us sleep better at night knowing they are out with the herd.
My property just on the south side of Seattle is full of Coyotes. We have had three cats go missing over the past 20 years. Also I have seen a Bald Eagle take a small miniature dog away at a friends property a few years back. That was heart breaking. The Coyote population has really gotten out of control almost everywhere because as we have less gun owners and farmers they are not being controlled like they use to be. I see them over my fence once in awhile and even though I carry I am within the city limits and can't shoot them. A real problem as the homeless camps get bigger in the woods and they leave food out the Coyotes will come in and take advantage of that as well. A real problem and not sure how you deal with it? Happy 5th Birthday Piper! Quote of the day:
There will be times in our life when we feel our story isn’t being told and we will wonder if we are worthy. How did we get here and why me? But in the end, it all comes down to the knowing who you are and putting yourself out there. No two of us are alike. We are all born dreamers of one type or another. We are either day dreamers that can’t see the road ahead…nothing but a foggy mist or we are idealist who believe that nothing can stop us and the path for as far as our romantic thoughts will take us will be our guide. Every road lead to somewhere, it’s knowing when you have arrived that counts! ~ George Wheeler
They can take down a Horse if there are enough of them
They can definitely take a cow. Everybody around here keeps a donkey or two in the field with their cattle because they are very adept at killing coyotes.
BILL UPSTATE NY What is it with people wanting proof of everything said these days, just because you haven’t seen it yourself doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Even if you got a link to a story you’d probably dispute the source, why not save everybody the time of trying to convince you and go find evidence yourself, that way you only have to convince yourself the source of the info is reliable.
@@justwayne4785 Seemed like a reasonable request. No shortage of fake news flying around. Repetition without question is pretty much the exact definition of urban legends, or gossip.
Good call wrapping it up quick, you were about to get into trouble. I would get after those coyotes to try to thin the herd, you will never stop them completely but it would be wise to deter them. Happy Bday to piper.
Great opening Mike! We have Coyotes Southern NJ as well. Melissa will love the Nightvision binoculars!! Great idea!
Hey Mike coyotes are a nuisance. Night time is the best time to hunt them. I would call the game warden and see if they fall under the nuisance law if you guys have one in PA. You might be able to use a night scope then. Just a thought! Keep up the good work.
Dom is right?? Have at it!! Good luck, they ain’t easy to kill!!
@@dominickclementi8118 *366 this year!! ;-))
"Say hello to my little friend!!!"
@Deutsches Brot - German Bread I can't resist...you're so fulla $hit your eyes are brown.
Mike , when you are out there by yourself do you carry a communication device in case if emergency? What you are doing is fun but very dangerous too .
i would think he at least has a phone. sounds like they need a machine gun out there.
Mike, from what I read, House Bill 1188 allows for the use of night vision scopes. You can’t use a scope that transmits any type of beam such as thermal, infrared or light but one that draws in light and enhances it to help you see, appears to be legal.
Maybe the coyotes won't be hungry for awhile. Happy Birthday Piper!
Happy birthday to Piper! I've seen video footage where two "song dogs" were able to take down a mature buck. If they harass it long enough, and the deer sustains many small injuries in the form of bites, they can make it so it can't get away very well.
Yes that is one of the ploys they Implement, they'll get one of the younger coy pups to lure the dog away from the house and the rest circle around and get in between the dog and the house. Be very careful when your dogs are out!
The deer may have been shot and couldn't run fast enough to get away, I have milled yellow pine with bark falling off and it had some beautiful boards . Enjoy your videos
I was thinking it was probably shot and ran off and coyotes found it when it died. It happens all the time
@@ericbatteaste6679 yeah, shot or maybe hit by an automobile and injured. Perhaps you should get some trail cams going and try and get an idea how many you are dealing with.
Thomas Hester Yellow pine is substantial as far as pines go. They can span longer and hold up more than other conifers. I have never worked any red pine. I’m think Standing red pine might have so use left in it too.
Happy happy happy birthday! Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday Melissa! I hope you have a great day too. Piper too. We love you.
Mike & Mel I live in central Maine and over the last few years the coyote population has really been growing. I've only got 9 acres and haven't found any deer carcasses yet. I have game cameras out and seem to get pictures of coyotes every couple of days (normally one to three in each picture). I'm 71 YO and grew up in central Maine and at that time coyotes, it didn't seem, weren't much outside of the US southwest. Differing species seem to be invading the area. We are seeing the odd cougar up here now. One was spotted less than a mile from my house last summer.
Love your tunes man...how about some classic rock in the future. Did love that tune
Maybe the deer was wounded. that happens a lot in iowa
An alternative to a night vision scope is simply a green or red led flashlight, mounted on top of a scope. The lights will light up their eyes, and the scope allows you to zero in on the yote. The lights and mounts are very inexpensive. I do not know if they would be legal in PA, but they are here in MI. Our only limitation for night hunting is a caliber restriction of .269, so anything smaller that a 270 is legal. You can also use a separate light for locating the yotes, and just use the scope mounted one to align for the shot. Most of these have an adjustable focus beam.
Coyotes are a problem where I am in NY, I alway carry a hand gun when I’m in the wood. Not sure if you do but might be a good idea.
Happy bday piper! Thought mike was gonna get one in w/o his co star. Not! Lol. Great vid. Welcome new subs.
Couple dirt hole sets and a couple caught will start making them nervous.
How deep do they need to be? I'm thinking 8-10 feet?
Lead works better
@@MultiPowerlin sure does in the trap or on foot lead will do the trick every time 😉
Minnesota outdoors coyotes are wily. Very hard to shoot but not that hard to trap.
d hamby dirt hole sets are leghold trap sets. Google it.
Here in Eastern North Carolina Red wolves were introduced into reserve areas. The wolves are protected and populations have grown. I maybe had a couple wolves on my trail cams- its hard to tell them apart from coyotes.
I'm a 'city girl' and know nothing about Coyotes but I truly love you two! Both of you need to be extra careful in the woods, especially since you know the Coyotes are around.
I think that deer was likely wounded and therefore vulnerable. Those "Yotes" go for an easy meal.
I’ve seen 2 big one kill a 150 lb buck, it was their last, Fortunately I was huntin with one of my AR’s that day.
One of your AR''s? Why do you need more than one?
Didn't read all the responses but I got a 900 lumens light with a green lense that is on my AR. Works great with the scope at night. Those night vision scopes are to rich for my blood. What is really cool is when you look through the scope with the light on, it looks like it is a night vision scope. Works great for getting coyotes on the property at night.
Mike, I’m from buffalo N.Y. As a kid I’m now 64yrs. old I had an old timer who lived in a cabin his whole life at Zoar valley NY. He hunted all year round for food. Never knew him to have a job. He lived off the land. What he told me was coyotes run the deer down from behind and keep nipping at their rear legs as they run them down until they tear the tendons and the deer then drops. That’s when they surround them and eat them because they can’t run anymore. So I was told anyways...
I’ve heard that coyotes are especially sensitive to lead poisoning. The kinda lead that goes really fast. Hahahahaha
Mike it's all about the health of the deer. I had 3 does the other day chasing an adult yodie!!
Up here in Idaho we have a policy. SSS equals shoot, shovel and shut up..Especially when
it comes to wolves..Enjoy you channel.
Where I grew up in the rural part of San Diego county, the coyotes run in packs of 25-30 or more, and they are wily little bastards. It's almost impossible to get a clean shot at them.
Good video, as always. Beautifully clean drop on that red pine.
Mike, eurooptics.com is in central PA. They are the authority on optics. I ran into them at the Harrisburg Outdoor show a few years ago and bought a couple Austrian scopes from them. Excellent service and integrity! They have a chat feature on their site. Guaranteed they know exactly what you can and can’t do in PA to hunt coyotes at night.
You, my friend, are going to have to start culling the coyotes.
Must be Italian!
Mike, I'm a new subscriber from Texas. Love the videos, especially Melissa's humor. You got a real prize in her.
To rid your property of coyotes hire a professional trapper to set snares in the area of the deer kill.
Rick Parsons
Happy birthday Melissa! Have a great day!
I've always heard that donkeys will keep coyotes and dogs away.
They will ..sure nuff.
Yea, a pack of six can run down & hamstring a healthy big buck.
It is very disturbing to say the least, but they run it to exhaustion, then finish it off, many times savagely ripping in & gutting it while its still alive.
It is not true they only go after the sick & dying!
Drop that backcut down a little so you don't cut past your hinge so easy. Nice drop on the red pine. 👍
If you use a scope with a large objective lens, around 40-60mm, and low zoom it gathers more light and you can get them with a full moon.
i live in northern ohio and coyotes are getting bad i have seen them in my back yard.
At least in Ohio the night vision scopes are legal. At least they were a couple of years ago, not sure if it has changed recently.
@@Newman81964 Still are legal
Here in IN at our largest state park, there was a concern of the deer population being too large and DNR was seriously considering reintroducing wolves into the state. Fortunately a Biology Professor from one of our universities did some research and told DNR there was no need because the coyotes were hunting in packs and would control the population, which they are. Not sure exactly how many it takes but I would think no more than four. By the way, our DNR is notorious for poor decisions. They have reintroduced beaver which are a nuisance, wild turkey which the population exploded so then they reintroduced Eastern Diamondback rattlesnakes to control those, not good. They were talking about reintroducing Bison! Fortunately that got shot down. My word, hitting a deer is bad enough. We don't need to be dodging A 1800 lb Bison.
Nice job dropping that pine, Mike. Happy Birthday, Piper! Howdy to Hunter and his sisters!
maybe next they'll introduce scorpions, alligators, lions and velociraptors to fix up some more problems 😂
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power, don't be giving them any ideas!
Wild turkeys, ugh, way more harm than good
My property in southeastern Indiana has an exploding turkey population and interestingly I am seeing more bobcat activity. Most of the bobcats are taking turkeys and other small game, but last summer there was trail camera video of a decent size tom taking down a fawn. A few years ago four coyotes took down a three year old eight point and had him gutted and most of a hind quarter devoured before he died. According to a rumor from my neighbor who traps primarily coyotes but is finding more and more bobcats in his traps that he releases, the DNR is considering an open season on bobcats in the near future.
Night vision scopes are awesome and great for taking out coyotes plus it’s a lot of fun
According to Dave Paulides---a retired cop and author, many strange disappearances and other weird things happen in the forests of Pennsylvania. Recently yes, but also for many hundreds of years as well. Certainly he desires that you read his books, but he stated that if you never do read anyof his, at least read "Hunt for Skinwalker" co-authored by George Knapp. A 10 year documented study. This book is available in audio format free from the library.
Coyotes are pack animals.Probably ran it almost to death first.
Mike: “fragile” is not only an Italian word, also a French word, and made it even into the English vocabulary; and in all languages it means: delicate, easy to break etc. and this means: Handle with care! - In Spanish and Portuguese, it’s written “frágil”, the meaning is always the same! 😂👍
Sandro Rugel I think he's quoting a funny line from the movie 'a Christmas Story'
pretty sure Mike was referencing "Christmas Story" the movie. When the dad gets the Leg Lamp lol

Happy Birthday Melissa, Mike is a lucky man to have a partner like you. You certainly have taken care of yourself. Your pool should be started as soon as the frozen turf is gone in Pa. Mike should learn about happy wife, happy life.
It only takes two coyotes to take down a deer of any size. One to distract the deer. The other to bite at the ham until they tear the artery. Then they just wait. There is trail cam pics of a mature 10 point being taken down by 2 coyotes
Hire a reputable professional nuisance trapper. He/she can eliminate a pack in less than a month. Maybe let them stay in the mini cabin for a week or so while they run the trap lines.
We have had a problem with coyotes at the farm (Ohio). The problem for us with trapping was family pets. However a few guys close by hunt them and we invited them out. They called them in ( coyote sounds because they are very territorial) and shot them with rifles and night scope. They said a half dozen came running out and could hear more.
russell rogers have to use foot hold traps. Won’t harm family pets. Unless they aren’t freed before the wild ones get to them.
The deer could have been a wounded animal, thus easy prey. Pack of coyotes guess 5-7 animals. Good program on salvage thinning the red pine. Cheers!
Wow, just becareful. Great video 👍. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing your next video.
I've seen a pair of coyotes and a puma on my place just north of Richmond VA in the last couple of years, I don't walk my woods unless I'm carrying my Remington 870 HD. You'll get a lot of good lumber from that tangle of pines Mike... Hi Hunter!!
We have a hand crank siren , when a siren goes off they start howling & we locate them and shoot coyotes
coyotes are opportunists, and will take advantage of any situation that comes along,, night or day

I guess Melissa is getting a set of night vision goggles for her Birthday! That is a great present.
Up here in Mercer county got some packs of coyotes running. One lay in the wood line every night. Watching my front door when I leave for work at night about 30 feet away. You could see it eyes glow and the neighbor tan it off to make sure it was coyote. I think it was waiting for my little dog to get out. In the 6:30 a.m. on the way home I see it in the field couple times . Once I stopped and it just turned and went for the woods. It laid in that tree line by my front door for months every time I went to work at night. Kind of bold and scary.
Sorry Mellisa no pool this year, Mike needs a new scope lol. Maybe next year 😭😭😭😭😭😭
" I have to go check the gun safe." 🤣🤣🤣
Thomas Lips LoL I know I was cracking up 😂
I lived in a rural area of Arizona. I thought I knew coyotes. However, when I moved back to Maryland, I was in for a surprise. The coyotes were three times larger than what I saw in Arizona. I was told that during their eastward migration, they mated with wolves. I don,t know, but I have seen coyotes that are easily 30 or more pounds. They hunt like most dogs. They chase a deer until it falls from exhaustion and they are pure devastation on fawns. I was told that they can kill a newborn calf. They are most active at night,
but they will answer a distress call during the day. For about $500-$1000 you can get an infrared light and rifle scope. I have never used the light and scope set-up, but it may be worth investigating. On a lighter note; do you have enough dead pines that you could harvest fatwood for tinder in Hunter's business? It does not take much to start a fire. I have seen firewood sold in mesh bags. I like them better. They help contain most of the mess and they do not trap moisture the way plastic does.
accurate drop, very nice. Lived in Az 8 years & coyotes run in packs of from 3 to almost a dozen, strength in numbers. Keep a watch on ur dogs, they're easy prey. Good luck
