hunting coyotes in Charleston county

[deutmark]

Thank you very much, friends, you gave me a lot of interesting information.
I will enroll at South Carolina Outdoor News Forums so I guess I can get more info about places and so on.
I know how hunting, dont't worry; I know that a rifle's bullet can be dangerous for many miles, so I will be sure of what is behind the target, before I shoot. Obviously the best is to shoot downward, I know.
I only don't know if a 223 rem is enought for such a game.

I really don't eat wild meat, so I'd prefer to shoot cayotes instead deers: even if I don't shoot anything, it's ok, I just want a plase to walk in with a rifle and a good reason to do that.

Two days ago I bought an hunting license with WMA places, at Walmart, and the associate, a woman, told me "kill cayotes, they're making a lot of damage!"

She should have said hogs. Much easier to come by and even more damaging.

deut a .223 is what most people use for coyotes and hogs, perfect round for it

WMA is full of yotes, I've seen many while turkey hunting that I would have shot had I had a .223 with me instead of a blend of #4's 5's and 6's in a shotgun

google map the francis marion forest and zoom in on earth view, look for fields and go explore...

I have killed many while deer hunting too, that .308 I deer hunt with takes them down instantly...

I live on 5ac on the old Causey lands off 41 (btw, a bunch of big lots quietly available at the moment, possible development).

I see coyotes daily. I usually see one in the wooded part of my driveway on my way to work around 5am. My Neighbor Danny recently trapped 2. Sometimes i take longpoint to 526 and occasionally i spy one around the snee farm entrance or that pinckney park. Always on that side of the road...never seen one on the boone hall side fot some reason. Other times i take Clements Ferry to 526 and i almost always see a beautiful, healthy, specimen around the Gilden shop. He is always standing there on the side of the road watching traffic. I wish i could get a pic of him. his coat is perfect and full. He is not scrawny. Could it be coyodog?

Also, i lived on DI for 5 years and i saw a coyote (i swore it was a wolf but dnr told me it was a coyote) multiple times on the far side of that big retaining pond as you come off the ramp from mt p. Also, i did a bit of exploring in the woods over by the Wando and came across one there. And i saw a cat that i swear was a female lion! I was metal detecting an old foundation i found and looked across the creek to a little spit of land and it was just lying there! I know nothing about cats but it looked like a lion. Yellow/tanish. Big. Dnr laughed at me. Could it be a cougar or Mt lion or something?

saw a couple pretty foxes the past few days. Nasty possums always hangong out in my traps...

Lost my first chicken in 6months on saturday. One of My fave bantams. Guess a coyote got it. No remains. Had a problem a while back w something popping their heads off. Was told was a possum or racoon.

Im learnin...
