END IT WITH * you might be a coyote hunter* (a fun thread maybe)

...if your lawn is covered with bits of dead animal brains that your husband sprayed out of coyote skulls so he can do a euro-mount on them and hang 'em on the bedroom wall, and your okay with that.
 
You might be a coyote hunter if... your 8 year old daughter hears a garbage truck screeching while compacting and says, "Dad, that sounds like a coyote howl." LOL
 
I just started this obsession a few months ago, and so many of these things fit me to a "T." It feels good to know I'm not alone.

Here's a few:

If your three year old takes slices of cucumbers, pushes them into the roof of his mouth, and howls...

This one is terrible,

If the land owner who asked you to kill as many coyotes as possible says they have a pregnant cat they need rid of, but don't have the heart to do it, your first thought is a .22 to the skull, then possibly taking a hatchet to it's head to really get the scent going in their field...

If you struggle to find normal conversation topics with non-coyote hunters...

If you go to bed early, alarm set for 3am, and spend most of the night awake, thinking about possibly getting a double the next morning, how you would get that double, would they stop if you threw out some kiyis and barks after the first shot to get that double...

If you fall asleep on the couch while your best friend is over, because you got up at 3am and were running on 2 hours of sleep, to only end up with stories of hearing barks and howls, and no dead coyotes...
 
When you to go a formal dinner with the wife after going hunting and forget to wash off all of the coyote blood from you hands. When you notice it you sniff you hands and keep right on eating.
 
If you repeatedly stop to check a coyote standing in a field, only to figure out it's a scarecrow for geese in the Willamette Valley, you might be a coyote hunter.
 
1) When you are talking about the weather with someone and blurt out "the colder the better", you might be a coyote hunter.

2) When you plan a family vacation and start researching state land in the area, you might be a coyote hunter.

3) If you've ever carried a deer decoy with you out in the woods during deer season and thought "this isn't a good idea", only to continue on to your set, you might be a coyote hunter.

4) If you've used skunk essence as a cover scent, you might be a coyote hunter.
 
If you've ever been cussed for putting your favorite foul smelling lure in a used squeeze bottle (mustard is best) in the fridge. You're probably a yote trapper
 
If you’re watching an old western movie and you see a coyote howling and you’re pointing your invisible rifle at it and saying “bang” you might be a coyote hunter!
 
If you find yourself thinking "Man, I bet it'd call 'em in like crazy!" to record and playback the sound of your unusually sweet, loving and timid under 5 Lbs Chihuahua... when she's being a tough-girl and barking to defend the backyard from a Possum or a cat, you might be a coyote hunter.

ALSO...

When the memory of the 1st coyote you shot, which barrel-rolled mid-air... while tucking-in its front legs... landed on the ground like that as well... praying mantis style with the forelegs... rocked back and forth for a good few seconds like that laying on his side looking totally out of it... looking like he was down for the count and you were already giddy inside because you thought you just pulled it off... he then... somehow rises back up to his feet... turns to look back at you... then takes off up and over the top of that draw.. and you think to yourself "That's ok, don't worry, he'll probably go 40-60yds then collapse"... then... you proceed to blood-trail him 250+ yds... up and over a knoll...down into and then back out of a deep ravine... and then his blood trail just plain peters out and you can't find ANY sign anymore... So then you decide to stay put for awhile in order to look up and watch the Crows/Ravens that routinely scout overhead using the winds... hoping for one of them to circle an area or just show any kind of interest out of the ordinary for a particular area to clue you in to where that bugger might have gone... you might be a coyote hunter.

If you wake up in the middle of the night howling like a coyote you might be a coyote hunter

When you walk up to a pile of rocks in the middle of a field and pee on it you might be a coyote hunter
 
If you make hot sauce for hunting, and you drive around the section and the other guys are out in the ditch and their dogs still in the box, you prolly are a coyote hunter! That's happened so much to our crew.
