Coyote on Ice.

[Hardwater2]

Drove by the Alcove Reservoir on 32 this morning and saw this coyote standing out on the middle of the ice. It headed for shore by the time I snapped a pic.

i have seen them run across the ice a couple times.  started taking my wheel gun but none been close enough yet.  you can hear them at night crappie fishing.  way too many around here.

That would be cool...a coyote crappie fishing. How do they drill the hole. 
Had too!

We have them on several bodies of water here in Colorado. They sometimes come pretty close, looking for an easy meal. Not good when they no longer fear humans.

Ive seen yotes on the ice early morning before. Normally i see evidence of them on the ice over actually seeing them. coyotes chase the deer onto the ice, where they have better traction, and then kill the deer out there. you'll find a small amount of remains left and blood splatter/ hair. They always polish the deer off i rarely find much left

They run the deer out onto the ice..not pretty after that, happens alot around these parts.

years ago walking out saw some leaving to the vermont side early in the morning .next week brought my 243 killed one in the channel

Set up your portable, buy a live chicken from a local farmer & stake it out on the ice. 1-3 boxes of shells is almost too much fun. The same can be done in a clearing in the woods with a few guys & portable deer stands

Don't have a problem with coyotes. They serve a purpose. And I love they way they sound at night. They kill because they have to to eat not because they are bad.

I’ve found deer kills on the ice. It’s wild for sure!

I try to leave nothing behind, but I've seen 'em out checking my holes for leftovers when I was still only 75 yards away on my way back to shore.

They've learned lots of fishermen leave behind old bait, lunch scraps, etc.  Can't blame them for taking advantage of opportunities.

Had too!

lol

I don't mind coyotes except for the amount of game they eat.  They can eat an ungodly amount of deer/rabbits every month and that cuts into my food supply.  Eliminate the competition if you want food, because it will balance itself out and you will be the one going hungry if you don't swing the balance.

We need more coyotes around here. Deer are overpopulated and eating everyone's vegetable gardens. I lose a few hundred $ of produce to deer every year. I don't know anyone whose garden has been damaged by coyotes.

[SLAYERFISH]

Yah they come in and eat the fish guts we leave for them while ice fishing.

[Hardwater2]

Most everything has its place.

They wait for you to leave then use the same hole until it freezes.

[slipperybob]

And I just saw one running around the yard this morning.

i am at your service

I've seen them on several bodies of water here in western NY state. They come out  and scavenge for left over bait and dead fish. I've when seen them in the small boat harbor in buffalo, 2 minutes from downtown. 
 There is a nature preserve right across the thruway and it's loaded all day with people walking trails and watching deer and beaver, that have no idea there's tons of coyotes hiding there too.

I'm sorry but that is funny. I lost it when I read this.

I was thinking more along the lines of murdering all your deer lol but I see you're in Maine that's quite a journey from here in Michigan

I thought the same thing  How they drill a hole, Having just come in from having a smoke, could hear several yotes singing in the distance, must be why the dogs are barking all night seems like. Oh and pay no attention to profile saying Wisconsin, for now its Tennessee

I've seen a few red foxes on the ice before checking holes for bait

I see them all the time when we're fishing there. Way off the road though.

Can you fish the Alcove??
Thought it was off limits….

no. consider it a failed attempt at being funny.  Before 9/11 it wasn’t as big a deal and i fished it a couple of times but i was too paranoid to enjoy it. I’ve heard of others ice fishing it and doing well

I know of someone who has relatives that back up to it on a part that's not visible from the road and they fished it with tipups and caught some very nice pike and walleye. They actually came on here a few days earlier and made a post asking for help for a brand new tipup fisherman then posted the pics. They weren't record fish but they were 24 inch plus walleyes and pike over 36. I've always said the city should license a couple guides with a no gas motor rule.
