Confirming the Obvious

Here's a shock: Your favorite calling target is the coyote.

OK, OK, so no one is surprised by that. When I made the poll question, I thought maybe more of you coyote killers would be tempted by less common and more vexing predators such as bobcats and mountain lions. For the record, my favorite is the bobcat, probably because I haven't been successful at killing one yet, despite several encounters. This year!

Anyway, the results revealed that 65 percent of you identified coyotes as your favorite animal to call. Red foxes and bobcats tied for second with 14 percent, and raccoons garnered 7 percent. Mountain lions and gray foxes did not get a vote in the poll.

Onto the next poll. Let's look at guns. The question is "What is your primary predator calling weapon?"

As always, thanks for voting.

I just saw a bobcat near a culvert by my house this morning. Could have killed it with a stick. Have killed hundreds of them over the years. Really not that big of deal. Sniperman223

Sniperman223,

I happen to have a stick. Tell me when you live so I can come and collect a bobcat.
