Both buck with an Excalibur recurve crossbow. Doe with an ultra slug shotgun.
Odd story. A few years ago a buck passed by my house while I was on the phone. My wife went to take pictures and he came back out of the woods to greet her. He walked right up to her while she kept backing into our garage. We ended up feeding him apples by rolling them out of the garage. Here are photos. After that, I started seeing him when I would walk my dog. He would come out of the woods to us so we could scratch his head and nose, then walk along with me and my dog through our cherry orchard. Obviously, someone raised him. It was a very strange experience. The first few times he came to me I would panic when he lowered his head to be scratched. It always seemed like he was about to try to gore me. But he just wanted to be petted and scratched. He probably walked right up to some hunter.

That's crazy!! What a cool story.
Holy crap! That's cheating!
Hunters in Missouri get fined for feeding deer.

You should see Quebec, everyone baits! It is all you see at every gas station, grocery store, apples and carrots for deer.

I've not seen them often, it's usually corn but when I've seen "deer carrots" at the store it's a big 50lb bag of carrots. And they're all moldy! I can't believe people would feed that to the deer!

I have a bunch of coyotes frequenting my property and harassing me. Sometimes they surround me and bark as I walk out of the woods at night. Its a little unnerving at times, especially since the pack leader is big like a german shepherd. They've been hunting me and I don't like that very much. Sooner or later its going to get ugly.

you have an extremely high coyote tolerance, Don. That one came running into a doe bleat.. got him on the run. here's one I got with a different muzzle loader, last year. FYI 22's dont work well at all on coyotes. hell i shot one with my compound bow the tail end of bow season.. granted it was on the move as they always are, and I didn't make a good shot.. but that thing ran off after taking a slick trick... 45 cal muzzle loader bullets work real well.
they say a yote will eat a deer a week or something like that. I have pheasants and turkey and woodcock im looking to protect along with the deer, for the record.
didnt know you were a Michigan guy! just saw you ebay site, that larch is very nice!

The MI DNR says that coyotes kill as many as 80% of the whitetail fawns. That's an amazing statistic when you consider how many deer reach maturity. I'm overrun by coyotes here. Normally they keep their distance. But I have a pack that has been stalking me at one of my deer hunting sites. They want my pelt.

Waltron how many coyote do you harvest each year? And where in southern MI are you located?

Growing up in Colorado at one place we had a really aggressive pack close to the house. At the time I had a dog that was a German Shepherd Wolf Mix. The coyotes were really howling one night so I got the 12 gauge and went out with the dog. The dog took off after the bulk of the pack but one of the coyotes was hiding behind the deck and I did not see him till he growled. I could not shoot because he was between me and the house. Fortunately, he took off. My dog came back covered in blood that was not his so he did better than I did... LOL

That would make a great photo if the coyote wasn't dead. I never really understood killing coyotes and wolves. Are coyotes classified as vermin in Michigan?
