Coyote vs. Turkey Hunting

[Bowhunter57]

I've shot my share of turkeys over the years and each season I keep running into problems with coyotes busting the turkeys. This year, I'm going to contact as many of my hunting buddies as I can and let them know I'll be hunting coyotes instead of turkeys. If they see any coyotes, I'll have them contact me and I'll setup in a location as to not interfere with their hunt, but still have a safe shot at a coyote.

I've done similar setups in deer hunting situations, where the hunter was seeing coyotes instead of deer and have had good success with it.

Anyone else getting their turkey hunts busted by coyotes?

Yep

Not busted but I did have one come in on a string to my calling a couple years back. He got a dose of #4 to the grill.

That's exactly how we treat coyotes in Turkey season or any season

Or start now and snare the shit out of them before turkey season.
