Coyote Clinic 2013 - another successful event!

A great group of hunters, ready to put some fur on the ground

Call sequence, scouting, stand selection, animal skinning, snap-shooting . . . . Coyote Clinic was again a great learning opportunity for everyone involved, including myself - every time I teach something I learn something! Once we got the classroom wrapped up on Saturday night, we got to apply that knowledge on Sunday with some beautiful weather for the Field Day.

I look forward to hearing back from these hunters on how their future hunts go, and posting some success stories up here on the blog!

During the snap-shooting exercise, we had the opportunity to test out some new prototype targets from ShootersElement that were designed just for the Coyote Clinic, and they will be for sale very soon! These AR500 steel targets of two different coyotes and a bobcat can handle any centerfire caliber (other than .338LAP and .50BMG) and make hunting practice fun and exciting. They replaced the old plywood and mild-steel targets that we used in the past which could only handle rimfire. I moved to the AR500 targets due to student feedback - I really do listen to my students.

Great Outdoors Quotes

In our emasculate age, it is considered uncouth to confess to anything resembling a killer instinct. Yet such a thing does exist, and it is worth study. It is fashionable to protest that one does not hunt in order to kill, as with Ortega y Gasset, yet if one does not kill, hunting is emotionally unsatisfying. This is why some people hunt and others do not. I think it is ingenuous to protest that the killer instinct is evil. Man is a carnivorous predator - you have but to look to his teeth - and though very few men now need to hunt for their food, a good many men do need to hunt for emotional fulfillment. This is not evil. It is as natural as the enjoyment of good food, great art, and fine music. To deny this is simply to look foolish. I know many shooters who are not hunters, and I do not think less of them for this. I know a surprising number of hunters who are not shooters, and while I think this is peculiar, I do not think it is wicked. I must admit that today in my declining years my bloodlust has slackened, but this has no moral significance for me. Even today I hunt whenever I can, and I often play catch-and-release by snapping in on an empty chamber. The fact remains, however, that there is such a thing as a killer instinct, and it is neither to be extolled nor condemned. In my own family there are those who are true killers and those who are not, and I love them equally. Judging from my own experience (which is a thing one never ought to do) I feel that those without the killer instinct lead somewhat diminished lives, as do people who are tone deaf or color blind, but I think we should drop psychological pretense in this matter, and face facts as they are. I happen to relish chili very much, but I do not demand that you do. It is not a moral issue. - Col. Jeff Cooper
We do not 'harvest' or 'take' or 'reduce to possession' in our sport. We kill. Dress it up anyway you want, but we pursue white-tailed deer with the intent of ending their lives. - Walt Hampton
Personal field testing trumps everything despite what Field and Stream says, your degree of perceived manhood, and what your buddies think. - Greg Williams
The Woods were my Ritalin. – Richard Louv
