Coyotes, Illegals, and Trash

     I headed out this morning to do some coyote hunting around 0530. I arrived at my area around 0615 just long enough to ready my gear and head for the first stand of the day. Needless to say it was unproductive and I would have the same success for the next two hours. I did however finally call in the coyote I was looking for and took her at about 20 yards with the 223.

The reason I am really writing this is because I don’t know how many of you actually hunt the southern part of Arizona but it is becoming a large trash can. The illegal immigrants are getting to where they think they are safe and throwing their clothes, water bottles and everything else on the ground. Today while I was out I noticed something I have not seen and a good reason why ranchers are pretty upset with the illegal’s. I had to take a picture just because I am sure there are some who would say I was crazy. Not only does the trash thrown everywhere make me sick, but have you ever tried to chase down a cow?

I thought I had to do everything I could to keep this cow from eating the backpack but it wasn’t cooperating one bit. Every time I got close it would run and finally I gave up. Hopefully everything turns out ok for the cow but I can’t say the same for the idiot that threw the backpack, shoes, clothes, and water bottles all over the place. I did however pick up the trash but at that point I had to call it a day, mind just wasn’t into it anymore after that. To those that think we should treat them humanely and provide places for them to obtain water – I say lets catch them, make them clean up their mess, and ship them back!
