Have you ever been coyote hunting with hounds?

Its a sport Kinda like coon hunting, but your hunting coyotes.Have you ever been coyote hunting with hounds?
The people who do this in Oklahoma do it nothing like coon hunting. They use greyhounds, along with multiple vehicles with two way radios, and sometimes even use spotter aircraft. They turn the dogs loose in a section (square mile of land) where a coyote has been spotted, and the dogs run it down then tear it to shreds.





Though I am a lifelong hunter, I do not consider this to be a humane sport in the least, and am personally disgusted by it.Have you ever been coyote hunting with hounds?
Here's a site about coyote hunting. They even sell dogs.

My crazy niece Jolene and myself used to take the dogs out in the jeep in Maricopa (Arizona), and shoot coyotes and the wild dogs that ran with them. Jolene used a Mossberg 500 Cruiser pistol grip shotgun. This was a necessary endeavor because once abandoned domestic dogs started running with the coyotes, they had no fear of humans. Many people would be injured and even some deaths from these packs.
It been a long time, but yes a fellow took me coursing coyotes. It was a learning experience for sure! And a lot of fun, well not for the coyote!


Here is a link about this sort of hunting;

No, but I have seen people do it. Yotes can run like all hell compared to a coon. The guys I know have lots of space and follow the hounds in a truck when they can.





EDIT: If you teach your coon hounds to trail coyote too, you will probably regret having to chase coyote for MILES and MILES. Get seperate hounds.
I have. It is not so much so we get to hunt the coyotes as it is that the dogs get to run around for a day.
not a good idea because the coyote will attack you dog because of territory reasons
nope
