I don't (yet) hunt.
However, I don't really want to go after Deer.
I've heard Coyote have been a problem on/off, and that people hunt them for money. I don't want any money; but is there any sort of arrangement though which someone can go hunt them and just leave them where they lay?
I don't know if this is possible or not; but I want some way I can just go out for the day and hit some vermin.
I realize most land abouts is private property. Is there anyone to get in touch with? Any way to find someone who may want/not mind someone eradicating some critters on his land?
I'm not inclined to go out on someone's place and do foolish/dangerous things. I DO want to practice field-shooting at my own pace with critters noone cares about (unlike deer) - in a safe environment. I am not one for animals suffering, and only intend to use 308 or 30.06, and take good shots.
I am asking because I don't know the first thing about how this works around here. Back in Australia (probably not so much, now) a (grateful) farmer with a Kangaroo problem would pretty much let you go on the property and cover his land with the remains of varmints. I did not participate in this; but knew others who did and that's how it worked.
Does it ever work like that near Austin TX?
thanks,
