Double this morning

Farmer been texting me saying he's seeing coyotes quite a bit. Get there at 7am this morning and he's already out feeding cattle in the field. Got set up not far away as the tractor headed back to the barn. Started with a few barks and howls at 730. Instantly an answer to the north. Waited 5 minutes then more quick bark howls. Watched about 50 turkeys fly out of the swamp to the field, watched them for a second then back looking south downwind....

Glance back at the turkeys and there's 4 coyotes running past them across the field coming my way from complete upwind side. Couldn't believe it.

Get turned around and gun set up. Waited til lead coyote was at about 75 yards then shot the last one at about 220 yards...then shot the lead one at about 100 as hes looking around. Just got on the 3rd at the tree line at about 450 yards when he stopped. Shot and seen him drop then 20 seconds later he's up hobbling to the bush. Couldn't get another shot off, tracked him about 75 yards into the swamp until I was in water up to my knees and couldn't find anymore sign. Bummer, Almost had a triple.

Nice job and good thinking taking the far one first. Do you use a caller with “fox bang” and if so, do you find it is effective?

Went to the next farm south tonight to next big bush and set up about 250 yards from bushline. Almost 5pm I did a few barks/yips and lone howls and waited. Had the call to my mouth ready to do another set and seen this guy coming across the ice in bit of a clearing in the bush. Waited, he came out at 175 yards and kept going upwind so I let him come.

Finally at 20 yards I lip squeaked and he stopped and it was all over. This one was defintely more cautious coming in, Small male....I wonder if he looking for his buddies from this morning...


As I'm taking these pics my cousin sends me a picture of a monster buck he got not far away with the bow....at least 14 pointer. He thinks he heard me shoot too lol

Nice shooting, and nice looking boomstick.

Good start to the season !

Has anyone seen the current Coyote fur market status? Is there any point in skinning them out?

That's another awesome story, you are on a roll.... You sure got things going for ya, nice to see, congrats....

They sure look like they haven't skipped too many meals!

Those Yotes look well fed. Nice shootin.

I must have been bit rusty and forgot I had this app. Has my scope reticle, bullet load and cartridge all built into it.

Wouldn't say this is 100% accurate but its very close. I've done some 400 yard shooting in the past and dots are helpful.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f07361b1c4.jpg
