The (feature) Hunt – by John Tully

John Tully, MU alum, photographed a group of men who hunt coyotes in Michigan.

I found a dirt road in between a house and a barn and turned down, hoping the owners were in the truck and not looking out their window at some stranger heading on their property. I rounded a curve in the road and there stood a man with a gun.

I got out, told him about feature hunting and found out he and about 7 or so other guys were coyote hunting. So, I hung out with them and when they all said they were meeting up at ‘the office’ I asked to tag along. ‘The office,’ as the retired or laid off hunters called it, was Crumps Pump, a local pub where they rendezvous each day after the morning hunt to grab lunch and some cold beers.
