COYOTE Attacks DECOY | Is This the Reason For Declining Turkey Numbers?

One of the wildest experiences we've ever had in the turkey woods. Could predators be the main reason that we're seeing turkey numbers decline across the country? Let us know what you think!

Coyotes are not a big problem. 1-Clearcutting hardwoods, replanting pines not burning along with shorter rotations equals poor turkey woods. 2- Baiting deer year round gives raccoons and other nest predators a full buffet to thrive on coupled with no trapping or fur trade any more equals high predation and low survival.
3- more hunting and less property to hunt.

Had a coyote within 5 feet last year, Leaned up against a fence and looked back to see eyes on the other side. Pretty wild

I had one came rounded to my decoys trying to attack from behind. Well, the property I hunt is small, so as soon as Coyotes appear, that certain day’s hunt is over. So I ruined his life for ruining my day hunt and he got himself a 3.5” Turkey load in 10 yards 😊

I had a Bobcat try to put the sneak on my decoys last spring. Bobcats are protected in my So I'll just leave it there 😉.

The farmer that owns our lease I'm Kansas Does Not permit Coyote hunting. In fact, shooting a coyote would probably get us kicked off the property.
You see he courses them with Greyhounds in the winter....

Called a coyote in to 12 yards last season with a slate call. He was met with the same fate as this one.

That's some quick shooting. That came in quick and struck fast.

I've seen this video like 3 years ago

Happened to me several years back, I shot and missed the yote and a long beard flew literally 30 yards behind the yote. Both headed to the mouth call with no decoys. Definitely have head on a swivel now.

I was jumped by a coyote back in 2008 that was coming into my calls. Have had several attack my decoys over the years but this guy I never saw or heard coming. I was calling for a friend and was sitting behind him when I was slammed by what felt like a freight train. It was on a full run when it grabbed my left arm at the elbow, not unlike the coyote videoed here when it grabbed at the decoy. Long story short I only suffered minor scratches and one good puncture wound but still was made by the CDC to undergo rabies shots. Coyote got away but when I was on my back and it realized its mistake it spun out on my face and knocked out a filling. 🦷 Lol. While hunting with 2 other friends several yrs later I heard a twig snap and turned to see one not 30 feet from me, slinking towards me. I was the caller that day as well, no gun, so I had to shoo it away. I am now VERY VERY cautious when turkey hunting!🐺 😉
