Rules:
1) 5 members max per team - guest/kids can count towards your total as long as they aren't regular members of your team.  *Here is what I had in mind for a "guest hunter"  Sometimes you take a newbie out, sometimes a relative rolls into town and you take them out.  If you kill an animal on these hunts then it can count toward your total as long as someone from the team was there.  A guest hunter can't go out by themselves one time, kill ten coyotes, and have that total counted to someone's team.  (For rule clarification: A guest hunter can only count toward your total for one hunt, and must be accompanied by a team member.)
2) No roadkill
3) Honor system applies
4) Photo of kill with at least one team member needs to be submitted for points to be awarded. (Or a card with team name)
5) You can add someone to your team after the 1st, but any coyotes they shoot prior to be putting on your team do not count.
6) No hand gestures needed for photos.  This is a "fun" contest.  No money or big prizes involved, so I would hope our members keep it on the up and up.  Don't drag frozen coyotes around to different locations and take pictures.  For the heaviest and smallest coyote, you will need to show a picture of the scale.  For the most animals taken in a 12 hour period, you will need to take a group shot (both ears of the animal are acceptable in lieu of a pelt or in the round).  For the most animals award, I will be counting all animals, regardless of type as 1 point (ie, 4 bobcats, 3 coyotes = 7).  This is not the calculation for your point total, just that part of the contest that applies to animals.


Scoring:
1) West Side Coyote - 3
2) East side Coyote - 1
3) Bobcats - 4
4) Foxes - 2
5) Misc. called animals (ie: badgers, cougars, wolves - Idaho) will be awarded points by a random drawing of 10, 20, or 30 points that are selected out of a hat.
6) Multipliers: Muzzleloader - points x 1.5, Compound Bow - points x 3, Traditional Bow - points x 5, Out-of state animals - points x .5
7) Photo .5/per animal


Prizes/Leaders:
1) Winning Team - Team Lamar
2) Heavy Coyote - 38.995429# - Big10gauge
3) Smallest Coyote - 11# - CoryTDF
4) Heaviest Bobcat - none weighed
5) Most animals killed in a 12 hour period - Team Deadfowl with 8

There has been a little confusion, as to when team members can be added.  Team members can be added all the way up to the last day of the contest.  However, any kills prior to them signing up will not be counted for the team.

Also, I have assigned free agents to teams.  If the team they were assigned to would rather me keep those spots open so they can add friends at a later date.  Please PM me and we will reassign teams.

If the free agent would like to start their own team, even if it is a single person to start with, I can do that too.  Just PM me that request as well.

Thanks Everyone.

Pathfinder Jr and I were deer scouting last Saturday and saw a 'yote.  He wanted to shoot it so bad he was begging me for my pistol (at 150 yards  :chuckle:).  I usually don't shoot 'yotes unless I am hunting for them, but I'll have to reconsider this year...

After calling a coyote in the TOP Food parking lot at 6:00am while waiting for SageBrushStalker we headed out under BullELK's advisement we ended up somewhere south of Canada but north of Oregon. Next time he better not forget the maps. On the second set we called in one that winded us before a good shot presented itself, then on the 3rd set this guy came in but he didn't leave. BullElk took the shot at 71 Long  yrds.

Had my chance last night in Vancouver. We were down for the weekend to visit and my daughter hunted for a buck but didn't get one. Anyway, I was showing about 20 kids how the coyote howl works after dark and I got quite a few coyotes howling in the canyon. They thought it was very cool. Then I went to pup distress and we looked out into the field in front of the house and a coyote was running right to the house. He stopped at about 100yds and then the older boys ran out after him. Kinda funny. Didn't think there was one out there that crazy to come in with so much noise.

Post by: Big10gauge on October 10, 2009, 08:49:34 PM
Here’s a couple from today, both shot by Bullelk, The first one came in to about 150 yards during my version of a rabbit getting ravished against it’s will, but the coyote knew something wasn’t quite right and really was eyeballing the area. We were trying to get him in to less than 100 yrds so I could shoot him with my 223 Contender pistol but he wouldn’t turn broadside for me, he finally decided that he had enough and turned and started a slow trot out of there. I told BullElk to take him and he did at 147 yrds. The second one came in to the same song and dance and stopped behind some brush in my way at about 50 yrds, it trotted up to about 35 yds and another sagebrush was in my way. Finally it winded us and took off but instead of running down the ravine it crossed it and came up the other side and stood broadside at 150 yrds for BullElk to make his shot. I did take a shot earlier in the day at a coyote in a dirt field with my AR but shot about a foot low as we could see the bullet hit between it’s legs. Don’t know why I missed as it was standing broadside, must have been because it was 810 yds.   :'(

Hello everyone!

First a couple of changes for Team Tombo and Son.. Can we get the name of our team changed to Team Yote Down? Second, I would like to add Lorenzo to the team.

Now to the story. AJ and I went out Friday and called most of the day with no luck. We had one come in on the first set, but he came from the wrong way, sat on a hill at about 550 yards, in the exact spot the sun came up. :bash:

Lorenzo, AJ, and myself went out all day yesterday and had a small amount of luck. The only coyotes we saw all day, except the one in the pic, were seen from the truck. The one pictured below was taken while walking in to our next stand. It was a 196 yard freehand shot. :dunno: I guess my calling skills suck :P

Sagebrush Stalker and I went out today, Big10gauge wasn't able to go out, so he lent me his new 223 contender, which we just sighted it in yesterday. We called in this young female on the second call of the day. I was able to dump her at about 65 yrds. We called in another, but couldn't close the deal. Next time he won't be so lucky, I hope.

went out two nights ago. a guy in the next valley was squeeling a distress call and we had a fox pop out of the brush about 30 yards away and move into the clearing infront of us mousing. by time my wife got the gun on him and pulled the trigger he was about 65 yards. BOOM. she flopped him right there with my 308. I saw his tale flip around a little then he got up an started stumbling toward the brush. Wife couldnt get him in the scope again before he made it to the brush. we found a little blood and tried to get him with the Schweisshunde but he was no where to be found.  She was pretty dissapointed. I was she she got him.  Oh wait...... coyotes...... never mind. lol

Put Team Deadfowl on the board baby!!! Went out on a solo mission today and got lucky. Thanks to my daughter for crying and waking me up. I couldn't fall back to sleep so i kissed her and the wife and went out for a hunt. It was a good day. Got some pics with my cell phone. The first dog came in to my left at about ten yards. I waited until he started to turn away and shot him in the A$$ at about 20 yards. The next dog came in after about 3 min of calling. I spotted him at about 300 yards. When he stopped at a hundred to take a look at things i put one right in the base of the neck. I would have let him get closer but i didn't have anybody filming me so a hundred yard shot was just fine.

Nice dogs Cory

I had a chance to go out for a couple of hours today. This little female came in about 1 minute on my first set she stopped at 168 yrds and looked around, that was her last mistake.  :guns:  When I get a dog on the first set I might as well go home as my luck has already ran out.

This looks like lots of fun, I just have to get involved. Any team on the West Side, near Cowlitz County like to add me to their team?  :IBCOOL:

I have only been hunting coyotes for 2 years. I like hunting solo, but like hunting with a partner best. Makes for a better experience, plus adds more eyes in the woods. If any team in the Cowlitz County area would like to add me to their team, that would be awesome.

Thanks

Here's a little one from today. It came in from my blind side and I didn't see it until it was crossing 10 ft in front of me. It was of those "point" and shoot situations, as it wouldn't have done any good to try to see thru my scope at that distance. It went down 16 ft from where I was sitting. I didn't have my scale with me but it weighed less than my 14 lb rifle. I'm guesstimating about 13 lbs.

Here's a few from today, should have had 7 but I missed a gimme at 90 yrds and another one stayed skylined so I held off. I'm blaming a galeforce 2mph breeze that made the bullet drift.  One pic is a double that came in. All were between 150 and 200 yrds. 3 for BullElk 2 for me.

Couple more for Team Lamar

First one was 2 weeks ago,  273 yards and nervous, held for behind the shoulder, took him at the base of the neck.

Second dog killed this morning,  stood still at 85 yards.  I see I need to change my clothes a bit more :)

More to come!

3rd set for today this double came in about 30 seconds after the first call, Next set a single came in but couldn't close the deal. The next 7 sets didn't even see any fur but called in several deer. The coyotes were probably too tired after running around all night long howling at the full moon to bother with a bunny meal.

Here's one for today, Pulled the .243 out of the safe, Definitely not a pelt saver, When a 65grVmax @ 3700fps hits a coyote it sounds like a baseball bat hitting a watermelon.  The 2nd pic was my only screw-up of the day :chuckle:

me and a buddy(guest) went out yesterday and both killed coyotes. this coyote he killed snuck in on us and we didnt see him when he stood at 100 yards in front of us he knew something was up and dropped out of sight. he ended up bedding down 448 yards away. my buddy just had the .223 leupold mark ar put on his ar-15 about a week ago. he dialed the turrent and right there in the coyotes bed he put the smack down on him. unfortunately we couldnt get both our coyotes pictured because his camera died and i crushed my phone while fixing a flat tire we got just before i called in and killed mine later on in the day.

Well, I had posted, but then got jealous of being behind and guys being hard core enough to go out during the week.  So I went out tonight and got a couple.  The dog in my left hand was probably worth weighing.  Good sized dog.  Just for reference, I'm 6'4 265. 
Shot one in the chest the other was supposed to be a low neck shot (facing right at me) but now he is going to need a good dentist.

Anyway, couple more for Team Lamar.

 :mod_smackdown:

Rule Change - After a discussion about huntng contest and how they reflect on our sport as a whole, I have made a decision to award .5 points for a coyote photo.  I want to encourage participation in the contest, and not just make it about killing animals.  This site is not just about success by harvesting an animal, but sharing our hunting experiences, even if it doesn't end with a kill.

So submit coyote photos for a score.  Photos must be dated 11/4 or after.  If you take a photo with multiple coyotes in it, you get a .5 point per coyote.  If you photograph a coyote, prior to shooting it, you will get  credit for a photo and a kill.

Sorry for the late rule change.  Hopefully, everyone will like the change.

.5   but I think I need a better camera.  This is 300 yards on full zoom.  BTW, night pics with a spotlight are none too easy.

:mod_smackdown:

Rule Change - After a discussion about huntng contest and how they reflect on our sport as a whole, I have made a decision to award .5 points for a coyote photo.  I want to encourage participation in the contest, and not just make it about killing animals.  This site is not just about success by harvesting an animal, but sharing our hunting experiences, even if it doesn't end with a kill.

So submit coyote photos for a score.  Photos must be dated 11/4 or after.  If you take a photo with multiple coyotes in it, you get a .5 point per coyote.  If you photograph a coyote, prior to shooting it, you will get  credit for a photo and a kill.

Sorry for the late rule change.  Hopefully, everyone will like the change.

 :peep:   :sry:



One of my teammates, a-bess, sees the same coyotes almost every day on his way to and from work.  So we can just have him start taking pics of them every time he sees them and get points for it?

Try to make it different coyotes.  If it is clear that the same coyote is getting photographed over and over then I'll make a ruling.

Come on guys- this is for fun and nothing but bragging rights on the web. It would be pretty low if someone was to cheat by taking pics of the same yote. Besides that only kills the fun of it. I have been out several times and have not put up the scope yet. Lets have fun and good luck to all.

Went out for a bit this evening.  First ran across this guy...

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF9275.jpg)



I did see ONE coyote and was able to get him kilt.  It is the biggest dog I bet I shoot this year.  I still scratch my head but the scale only says 34 pounds.  I'm 6'4 so the picture doesn't quite do him justice, so I had momma hold him up too.

Here's a couple from today, If I would have had a shotgun there would have been 3 more. Talking about running me over, I couldn't get them to stop. I actually had one hit my barrel with his tail. Saw one that was the same size as a jackrabbit. High winds today made it a lttle tougher.

Hey Gringo I think I would get your scale checked. That's a real nice dog. That female I shot today was over 30 lbs. and yours looks easily 40 lbs. Maybe you drained his radiator too much.  :chuckle:

Big10gauge,
You aren't going to make it easy to catch!  As far as my "scale" goes.  I stepped on the bathroom scale and then stepped on it again holding the dog.  I'm wondering if that thing looses accuracy when it gets over 300#s?

I mean really, how accurate does it need to be for people weighing that much? :chuckle:

I have a pack of 4 that have been too close to some heifers that need dealt with.  I might set up for them in the morning.

BTW, that top pic with his ears pinned back makes him look pissed....Although I suppose you ruined his day.

Gringo

Sagebrush Stalker decided to join in on the party today, he dumped his first yote of the year, at about 60 yards.  This yote showed up within 15 seconds and was dead 15 seconds later. After the shot the male yote that was following, exited very quickly without any shots fired. I quickly started calling using the coyote distress and another yote showed up about 1 min later.  I sent a 50 grain ballistic tip over his head at about 110 yards, sh*t happens. :'( We had to weigh this yote, it was a female, weighting in at 32#, big for a female.   :) (Scale weighs 1# heavy so it is 32# not 33#.)

We dropped BullElk off in a new spot and SageBrush Stalker and I went down the road aways and took off from there. It took 4 miles of hiking and 20 sets to come up with one coyote. Called the dinner bell and it took about 8 minutes for this one to show up. Not the best day for shooting, but was a great day to be outside.

Dropped this little fella this morning, almost felt bad.  I would have put him on the scale for smallest yote, but half his guts spilled out of the hole when I picked him up.  Didn't seem fair.

This is also my first handload kill.  100gr 7mm hp at 3500fps.  What a mess!

Duckfvr just sent me a cell picture. He couldnt take it anymore. He called and said we gotta get out, Sagebrush Assasins are getting a big lead. I had to work so he made a solo trip. His camera batteries are dead too.  :chuckle: Cell picture will do. Said he called him and the the dumb thing sat on his butt at 175 yards. He shot him in the chest.

PS- I think Duck is trying out the new fawn suit today, forget camo, he dressed up like dinner.  :chuckle: Just kidding Shad!

Okay here goes. I went up north to a buddy's house this weekend, well my weekend, and the first day was uneventful logging 4 misses and no kills. Today however, we layed waste to them. We killed nine in total but I am only going to count 8. The rules say you can hunt with one guest so i will only count one guests coyotes. I killed 5 from ranges of 20 feet out to 306 yards. The other three were killed by the other guy in the picture "Dead Eye" Kenny. No field pictures because stupid me forgot the camera and phone on the bed. All in all it was a great trip 8 more coyotes for Team Deadfowl. This trip tops my record of most in a day and, well, most in a day. I knew it would be good but nine total in one day that blew my freakin mind.

The little guy was the one i shot at 306. The only scale i had to weigh him was a bathroom scale. The first picture is my weight.......yeah i know I'm a fat ass! :'( The next is the weight of me holding him. My math, which is from public school, tells me that he weighs 11 pounds.

The first picture sadly is the best. Always check to see if your Camerman did a good job before you drive away. The 8th dog is only half showing in the left side of the picture. the last picture shows all nine dogs.

Didn't have to work today (darn state workers) so a buddy (guest) and I went out for a short hunt. First call didn't pan out, but on the way in for the second call this 24 lb female ran out just before we sat down to call. She stopped to give Ol'Dan a shot, he ask how far I said about 350 yrds, he let one fly, d**m he hit her, it was 370 yrds. (AR-223) The next call produced this young female, I shot at a long 86 yards. The rest of the day was a bust. :)

Left the house at 630a.m  On the way out I knew it would be good as we saw 3 dogs mousing on the side of Hwy2.  All eastern WA, .17HMR 50yrds longest shot.  They were hungry with the new snow on the ground.
First three setups we called in a dog.  Then drew a blank for the next 3 sets.
Two dogs down, one missed.

Updated through this post. 

I am going to let you guys in on a coyote hunting secret...If you want to see a lot of coyotes, leave your rifle and camera at home.  I went pheasant huntign with the in-laws on Sunday.  We saw 6 coyotes between Rosalia and Garfield.  While we are loading up the truck in the morning, I pick up the .204 and then say nah, we'll just concentrate on pheasant.   :bash:  Then I forgot to grab my camera bag that I had set by the door.   :bash: 

Anyway, had fun shootign pheasant.  They held tight with the snow we had.  My brother in law actually caught a hen by hand.  She wouldn't flush out of the layed over grass we were hunting so he lifted her up and tossed her in the air.  We ended up with 3 roosters, and the dog set about 12 birds total, so there was a lot of excitement.

Just a stupid question. What do u do with them after you kill em? I have never ate a yote and don't think it would be very good. When I killed a couple in Montana the rancher paid me $25 each. Do u sell them up here or what? I see no reason to kill one unless it is disturbing local ranchers and you get paid for it or you are going to eat it.

Anyone?

You don't eat them, the fur is used and it's a form of predator control.  They are extremely hard on deer populations, extremely hard!

Duckfvr, At the rate your buying new toys pretty soon you're going need a pack mule. :chuckle: I've called in a couple dandy bucks so far this year too, one of them to about 20 feet of us. Wish I could have found them during the early archery hunt.

Walt asked me to post this pic - as he will be out for awhile.  He shot this yote at 300 yards while deer hunting the late whitetail in the NE corner this morning.  He couldn't remember the team name, so he only put the date in the snow. 
Hopefully this gets us on the board

I agree we are all in it just for the fun, It's just we should all play by the rules. This "Coyote Madness" doesn't change the amount of time I spend coyote hunting since I do it every chance I get.

Well, I see you guys have been busy.  I just got back from a week long trip to South Dakota on a deer hunt.  I did see this guy right off the road where we dropped off my brothers car at a buddies house.  I really like this picture, although I realize many may not....but here it is.

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF9293.jpg)

Anyone who has done much night calling can appreciate.  That was him about 30 yards with me lip squeeking at him.



Later on our "deer" hunt.  I saw my only SD coyote.  He was 700 yards and mousing, working our way.  A buddy was pushing a draw and the yote went out of sight towards him.  I heard a shot and this guy came wide open damn near right at me.  I gave him about a 2 foot lead and shot him with the 7MM off hand about 50 yards, took off the front of his shoulders.  He summer saulted about 20 yards.....the wife thought it was cool.

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF9408.jpg)

Alright, back to business.  Let me get caught back up with work and see if we can get back in this race.

Updated through this post.

I tried to put Team Admin on the board Saturday morning.  I only made two quick stands, since I was mainly gathering up some permissions for a local contest.  On the second stand I had called for 15 minutes with nothing showing.  My ears hurt from the 20mph winds so I decided to call it good.  I was going to do a quick check on my zero for my scope and rifle just for fun.  I dialed up to 10x power, pick out a rock with some yellow moss, and am about to pull the trigger when a coyote pops up in the scope.   :bash:  Her I am FOV is probably 30 feet and that is where she shows up.  She is looking off to the side so I am thinking multiples.  A second shows up about 30 seconds later.  They are dead down wind at about 300 yards, but I am hoping I am tucked underneath a rock shelf enough that my scent isn't carrying to them.  I lip squeek and get one moving towards me through the breaks.  It disappears for about three minutes so I figure I am busted.  I pull down on the one still sitting on the ridge and that is the same time it decides to leave too.  I sat another five minutes but they never came in.  Greed go the best of me.  I could have had one, wanted two, and ended up with zero.   :chuckle:

Team Wet Spot Y.A.R. is on the board. Got us some thanksgiving vittles boys and girls. WooHoo!!

Called this dog in twice I think. The first time it didn't commit and just disappeared. About an hour later on the next set he came slinking in after about 20 minutes of calling. He actually had a couple magpies following him. I've heard of this but never seen it. He was trying to downwind me but a nice little bark stopped that nonsense and I let him have it. This is the first kill for my Bushy. 145 yards.

Nice dog RileyTDF. I would like to see the video if possible. :)

Just uploaded the footage last night and guess what. It's Digitized :bash:! The first 20 seconds of the tape are all fuzzy and pretty much worthless. Damn dirty heads. Sending the camera out to be professionally cleaned. It would have been great footage. I'll still take a still from it and post later. As for the video i guess this one is a bust. >:(

Get that camera fixed, I would like to see some yotes taken on video. I would like to video a kill, but I have to back up Big10gauge, since he's shooting that inferior .204 Ruger. :chuckle: :chuckle:

I got off work a bit early and got this on at 200 yards STANDING.  That doesn't happen too often....

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF9500.jpg)

So I got home and the kids were driving momma a bit crazy(er) so I loaded them up and decided to go for a drive.  Normally I would throw any coyotes in the back of my truck but all the car seats were in the Jeep so I wasn't able get a group photo.  I suppose I could have put them in the Jeep but I'm fairly certain momma wouldn't have appreciated.

I got this one about 280 yards, he too stopped to take one last look over his shoulder.

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF9480.jpg)

Then I found two bucks a few miles apart, both still rutting, and look forward to seeing both again next year!

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF9481.jpg)

This one is a long ways out and my camera just wouldn't zoom in very well.  So holding it to my scope trying to get pics is not easy, but I got enough of a look to make him out.

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF9489.jpg)

Ended up getting one more, I saw 4 got 3.  Isn't 3 strikes in bowling called a "Turkey"?

The coyote on the right was from last night.

Dude, your on a roll! Nice to see your killin those nasty little guy's keep it up.

LOL...


Let the other guys have a chance?  Big10gauge was kind enough to go archery hunting to allow us to try and catch up......but, if it's like what I saw today, the big bucks have left the does and are solitary.  Kind of odd as it wasn't like that two days ago.  I saw the same deer in the same place (or should I say 3 places) and everything was the exact same but the bucks were gone.

BTW, I did get this guy.

Well deer hunting didn't suck. Big10gauge and I went out thanksgiving day and he made a great push through a couple of small draws. This nice 4x4 walked within 35 yards, I made a good shot, he ran about 100 yards and died on the run. Now its back to yote hunting. :)

Had time for a couple sets before heading out up North.

This little fella came in wanting to play, I got tired of the game pretty quick. Mama always said I never learned to play well with others.  :chuckle:

The other I jumped going in to make a set. He took off up a hill straight away not wanting to play ball.

Today I shot an old timer.....


I've been after him for awhile as he was making a mess of a calf carcass the last few days.  I'm usually not afraid to touch too many critters, I don't worry about "jerms" so to speak.....but this boy was the exception.  He looked black in the scope and on walking up to him seeing his back side, first thing I thought was a possible parvo dog....hence the sign I made vs a pic with me in it.

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF9588.jpg)

Here are a few pics of his front teeth, you don't see em like this too often.

Those ones are frustrating, but they're the ones that make success so gratifying. What gets me is when they sit down like a porch dog and just stare out at 400 or so. It's like they are taunting you. Hitting a spot tomorrow that i havent been to yet this year, it's a really tough hunt but has been productive in the past. We'll see. WooHoo!!

We went Elk hunting but for only one day.  :IBCOOL: , Since it was BullElk's turn to get a elk this year he shot a nice cow after about 4.5 hrs of hunting in 8 deg weather.  So far 1 elk 2 deer. That's enough meat to put up. Now I'm getting ready to head to Mexico in a few days for a week, nothing to do down there except laying on the beach watching girls, drinking tequila sunrises, laying on the beach watching girls, drinking, laying on the beach watching girls,drinking tequila sunrises, laying on the beach watching girls, drinking, laying on the beach watching girls.drinking tequila sunrises, laying on the beach watching girls, drinking, laying on the beach watching girls.

Team Wet Spot//// YAR

Good day today.

1st set was a bust

#2 called in a good sized male. Came in hard left and saw me get the rifle ready and just wouldn't stop. I had a split second left gave about a dog lead and let fly. Heard the thump and it went down. 125 yards and trotting ended up making a perfect hit, that doesn't happen often.
 (http://hunting-washington.com/cpg/albums/userpics/11250/P1010367.JPG)


Set #3 Forgot my foxpro at #2 and had to go back about 1/2 mile to get it.  :bash:  Left Bighorns2Bushytails to do a set while I was gone. He called in a couple but never saw them. I saw them when I was on the way back. They hung on him about 5-600 yards out and he never knew they were there.

Set#3 Called one in at about 230 or so. He just sat and stared so I started the pup in distress and he started coming in. He got to about 170 from me and probably 220-230 from BH2BT and busted him.  :bash: He just froze and stared. BH2BT missed his shot into the sun. Sometimes things just don't work out.

Set#4 We split up again hoping to get BH2BT into position for a good shot. Started calling and immediately got challenged. I challenged right back, waited a bit and started yelping. Damn dog came in from my hard right running. He stopped at the edge of a draw at 200+. I hoped he'd come straight up to me but he decided to cut across to downwind me. I knew I should have just shot but I didn't and he did evedently wind me. never saw him again.

Set #5 Bust

Set #6 Called for quite a while here. Got some howls but I was losing my patience and the wind was picking up and it was getting damn cold. I was getting ready to bag it and off to our right 6-700 yards out is a pair. They're coming towards us (sort of) and I'm not sure what to think. They get to the top of the network of brows we were on and turn towards us coming at a pretty good clip. Not running but definately committed. As soon as the big male who was in back goes out of site I switch up to prone. She tops the crest of the hill out in front at 200ish and just stops and stares. I'm just letting the foxpro run with pup in distress turned pretty low. She waits a while then hubby shows up behind her. BH2BT says he'll take #2 but the #1 starts pretty much making a charge and he's hanging back. I can't let her get closer because if she gets out of sight in 30 yards or so she make take a right and get into our wind. I bark to stop her and she does at 135. I wait a second (I guess) hoping #2 is stopped and I shoot. I downed her and #2 bolts. I kind of screwed BH2BT out of his dog but I geuss I got the fever. SORRY MAN!!!!! I OWE YOU!!!!
 (http://hunting-washington.com/cpg/albums/userpics/11250/P1010371.JPG)

Set #7 is a bust and we go home.

Great day today. Saw 8 called in 6, got busted by one  :bash: and missed two. :bash: Neither miss was by any means a gimme.  :bash:

Got 3 more for team High Desert. Did not have a sign with us today so took pics when we got home. The first pic was a coyote at 512yards with my 204 ruger in the head. Better to be lucky than good.  :chuckle:

Two for team winning team

 :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: I went out this mornig and the first one I spotted driving in. He just sat there in the same spot as I put a sneak on him. He watched me the whole time. I closed the gap to about 250 yds and dropped him with one shot. :whoo: Then I went and did my fist set to come up empty. Went about a mile to the other side of the property for the second set and had him come in directly down wind. He popped up on top of a hill at about the same distance (250) and I was sure he was going to bust me so I got him in the crosshairs and fired. The shot went in his stomach and out of his out hole. He was having trouble dying so I put another one in him and he flopped around and out of sight. When I got up to him he was still very much alive so I put one in the back of his head and he expired with both eyeballs poped out. Turns out my second shot just clipped his front paw.

I made about 9 sets today.  3rd set a yote pops up in some thick nasty brush...maybe 150 yards.  I shoot, he death runs to a place that I have yet to find :(

Few sets later had a hard charger in the first 2 min, couldn't get him to stop, he spooks and I miss at 300 yards.  I forgot to adjust for wind.

Long story short, I should have had 3, came home with one.

Post by: Gutpile on December 13, 2009, 07:02:45 PM
Team Wet spot YAR.

Had a hell of a day with only two to show for it.

Set #1
As I was setting up the deke and the caller my partner shoots. He misses one broadside at 130ish. Hadn't even started calling yet then we start to call and about 30 magpies come in, I KNOW this is going to be a good set. I was in a smallish pasture, my partner was behind me watching the big pasture. Anyhow a yote pops out right in front of me at about 50 yards. I didn't want to have a runner with the shotty (which was stupid I know) so I put it down got the rifle just got the scope on it and it leaves. 2 minutes later BOOM. Right behind me my bud smokes one. We call for 10-15 more and nothing. He stands up to go get the dog and another runs right in front of him. No shot.

The next few sets were a bust then off in the stubble we see 3 dogs. One decides to take a nap. We stalked to withinn 150 yards. My friend (MR 14 POWER) has a dog sleeping in the stubble and MISSED!.  :chuckle: :chuckle: A half mile stalk to within 150. Sleeping dog, prone, off a bipod, all the time in the world..................MISS. Oh my god!! That was just awesome. These dogs can really make a grown man cry. This guy is a damn good shot in that type of scenerio too. Just can't figure it out.  :dunno:

Went off to another spot and it's all in winter wheat so we know we arent going to see much action. We do manage to kind of call one in and then BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. There is shooting in the valley just below the dog. He takes off in a hurry. The shooting just keeps going and going. We're pissed but how are they to know. We walk to the top of the cliff and look down and theres a G#D D#*M trap range right there.  :bash:

Next spot. I call in a double. I never saw #2 but did see #1 as he winds me. made a hell of a wounding shot through some brush at 200ish but had to track it through the cat tails a bit but got it.

So I shot one, my friend who is a non member got the other.

So I went out hunting the other day with corytdf and a friend.  On the way to our first stand I spotted 3 yotes out in a field.  I got cory to pull over and I hopped out and took the shot.  Hit the one dog hard. It was jumping around in circles and then it just bolted.  The shot was around 400 yards maybe just over.  and the field was full of knee high weeds.  Well I ran out there to go claim my prize, and I couldnt find it anywhere. :(    then the fun part.  I was out yesterday again with Cory.  I shot at and straight missed one at about 75 yards.  I can hit one at over 400 yards but I cant hit one at close.    :dunno:  I suck.  anyways got a porcupine out of the hunt :)

To All the Teams,

The team SageBrush Assasins originally had 5 members,  2 members of our team are probably unable to hunt at all this year. I was hoping that you all do not have a problem with us finding team members that can join the team and have as much fun in the contest as we all have been doing. I want to keep this on the up and up and thought I would see if anyone would have any objections.

Thanks Big10Ga

Big10gauge,
I'm with Gutpile  :P  LOL, but I think we could work something out.  

I'm sure others may have a few ideas as well but these were two of mine.

1.  We could allow an exception to the rule and put your two remaining members on Team Admin?

2.  We could ask the team leaders if they wanted to "donate" a player your way to help fill your roster?


Does that help?   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:


BTW, I shot one off a carcass this morning (28# male), my normal picture taker wasn't home so I used a sign, the other dog in the background is the one from yesterday still in the back of my truck.

One more for Team Lamar.

What can I say?  I want Big10gauge to suffer as he hurt my feelers.  I had asked to be on his team before this started and he said, "Beat it Kid".   :chuckle:

All this talk got me motivated and I went out and picked up one more.  Kept the same picture, same sign, but added one more.  Neck shot at 189 yards and ANOTHER male..... have no idea where all the bitches are.

Once again, one more for Team Lamar.


Does that put us in the lead?  Now I feel kinda bad, like I pickin on a cripple.  :chuckle:

Dont know if the slot is still open but I get back 2 Jan from a deployment and would love to participate if a team would like some help (not looking to try to get in on hunting spots, just a team to contribute my kills to)!

To All the Teams,

The team SageBrush Assassins originally had 5 members,  2 members of our team are probably unable to hunt at all this year. I was hoping that you all do not have a problem with us finding team members that can join the team and have as much fun in the contest as we all have been doing. I want to keep this on the up and up and thought I would see if anyone would have any objections.

Thanks Big10Ga

Well it was worth a shot, Just wanted another person on board that likes to shoot coyotes as much as us and create new hunting stories with friends , I don't want to cause any animosity or negativity by stacking the deck  :chuckle: so on with the fun. I'm hoping  they may start getting coyote fever.  :chuckle:

I realize it is hard to get a feel for different personalities without the ability to look one in the eye.  I just want to be crystal clear that my "stance" on this is 100% all in fun.  That is the whole point of this.  It's not about the number of dogs as some of us have prime ground and some others may be much more skilled and just not have the country.

I could care less if you add team members due to some leaving.  I just want to give you crap about it.   :chuckle: :chuckle:

Sorry I can't post a picture tonight, I lost one today.  I think it may have been "splash".  I shot, he went down, spun a bit, flopped etc....I could see a red spot behind the shoulder so I figured he was done.  Next thing I know he has 3 legs under him, soon 4, and making tracks and fast.  I am still in disbelief.  Shooting 55gr JHP, never had an issue.   But, I could be wrong.

Also, again to be clear, Big10 has never been anything but polite and easy to talk to on pm's.  I was just playing with him on my "beat it kid" comment.

Cheers,
Gringo

OK, looks like I missed some of the stuff about Sagebrush Assasins changing out a team member.  Here is my ruling and explanation:


As per the rules, no coyotes will be counted toward the team totals until a member is officially added to a team. 

I will update teams and points in the next day or so.

I'll be heading out this weekend to try busting a dog or two in an attempt to keep SBA the defending champs here but as we all know, some days are chicken and some days are chicken *censored*e.

Finally one for S.B.A. Was able to get out this afternoon after plowing snow all night, couldn't sleep, had to go chase yotes around in the fresh snow. Made about 5 sets. I busted two out before i could make my second set no shots (range finder doesn't work in the fog to far to guess). On my next set I think I woke this young female up from her nap. I started calling and she ambled out of the sagebrush about 60 yards below me, yawning and stretching, then she took a permanent nap.

Me too. I have no problem with it. If it were for money I may but this is just for fun. I don't need to win a contest to know I'm the baddest coyote hunter in WA anyways.  :chuckle: :chuckle:

Hey, no problem leaving a few to bring in a new hatch for next year, no doubt. Besides, even the ranchers would like a few around to clean up the dead cattle.

I think we'll try to hunt a new ranch I aquired last year that we simply have not had time to work. We killed one on it just scouting last year and saw several more so it could be good. There is everything from cat to coyote up there and I would love to get me a nice puttytat :chuckle:

Jerry Malbeck is too modest. He is a long time coyote killer, helped me and I am sure many guys get started. Always free with advice and an encourging word. Him and Curt Barrett were the first two really sucessful callers I met, I guess 10 years ago or more,  I had no idea a call could sound like that. Bearmanrick gave me a lot of help also.

I hope you and your family are doing well.

Jerry, it good to see you here. I've read some of your post on other boards and have always been intrigued of your vast knowledge. Welcome friend :hello:

Man I can't wait til Friday morning, I think the 6.8 is going to get a workout. VarmintVentilator was just informed today that some nearby farmers are having problems with coyotes trying to coax their dog out into the field. So we were asked to set up on the pasture where the coyotes hang out. This could be good.

Okay, went out this AM with Varmintventilator and had 2 coyotes come running right at us at first light. They got way too close catching us completely off guard, I throw glass up on one at about 20 yards and shot right under him. The second turns and runs to the top of the hill and VV gets a real quick 70 - 80 yard shot and went over that one. Man our day was just not startin' out real well.

So we relocate and set up on a high bluff about 50 feet above the desert floor and about 20 minutes into our stand VV spots a dog out at 462 yards. I was already on the screamer for about ten minutes and began trying to get this one to come closer. He was just standing there listening with some interest but not willing to commit. VV says he's going hunting, so he takes off down along the bottom of the bluff and does the old sneaky sneak on this dog as I keep it's interested in the pup yips. As VV gets closer I watched with great anticipation as the pup just keeps taking a step or two towards our location then sits down with ears perked.

Finally VV is in range with his 6.8 and the pup gets up and starts to wander off. I change up calls and throw a screaming dieing rabbit into the wind and here he comes a little closer with every step. I keep going and suddenly the pup flinches and spins in circles then I hear the report of the 6.8. He had closed the gap to within 200 yards of the coyote and the dog covered the other 50 or so yards to catch a 90gr. TNT mid side thru the ribs.

Off he goes and runs about 150 yards where he finally came to rest. And now for the photo op since VV is a little camera shy he asked that I stand in for him, hope ya'll don't mind.

Nice writeup, nice picture....

I've lost 2 dogs this week and about lost this one.  I've convinced myself that I'm shooting em just a bit high, doing the top of spine stunner and they shake it off and get their feet back under them.  If this fog keeps up, I'm gonna have to take the shotgun tomorrow.

High shoulder shot works every time.  Honestly, I don't think I've ever had one take a step with the high shoulder shot with at least a 40gr. bullet as long as it's placed right.
Title: Re: Coyote Madness 10/1/09 - 2/28/10 Results
Post by: Gringo31 on December 18, 2009, 08:29:35 PM
Agreed.

But what I'm talking about is hitting the thoracic vertebrae, (the ribish looking bone above their true spine).  If you hit there, it seems to "stun" them and they can shake it off.  (In my experience)

Got this guy this morning. Didn't have my camera in the field so I grabbed a pic before I hit the road. We hunted hard for two days and put a few on the ground for TDF. All in all it was a great trip for me. I'm on the wet side now. I think I might try and go kill something on sunday. I'm thinking about going around my aunts house in carnation. It would be nice to get a west side dog.

Don't worry Lance I left you plenty! The fog made it tough hunting.

Went out today for about 3.5 hours.  First stand had one come and take a look on the far horizon, he watched for a min or two and bailed.  From that side, my truck was exposed.

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF9660.jpg)

Next stand about 4 min into it, I see a flash maybe 70 yards out in the sage.  I hit the squeaker and get out of prone and get ready for a close off hand shot.  He pops up 10 yards away, I turn to shoot about the same time he turns to leave and he goes down.  From there, I hit the KiYi and keep calling to see if there is another.  About 40 seconds later, the dog I shot hops up and starts beating feet.  Looooooong story short, I finally found him again and gave him another.

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF9661.jpg)

Third stand nothing.

Fourth stand about 10 min into it I catch a dog coming about 350 yards out.  He is side hilling a canyon, but hops the creek and is on the way.  I popped her about 70 yards.

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF9662.jpg)

Fifth stand nothing.

Sixth stand, a decent amount of time into it, I see a dog crossing the creek on his way about 120 yards out.  No idea where he came from or where he went.  I saw him for about 2 seconds and never saw him again.

Last stand scared some mule deer up and on the way out seen a pile of geese.

I tried to tell him that. However we had a pretty good week and weekend other than the fog factor. I went out on friday and got 1, MtnMuley and I went out sat and sundayand got 4 more. Monday on the way to work MtnMuley wacked 2 more that were on a roadkill.

Looks like we may have better hunting weather this weekend. Boy I can't believe the number of dogs going down. I wonder what the overall total of downed dogs will be at the end of the contest?

Kid actually did that in Touchet! Ran it down  on a 4 wheeler and roped it.  :dunno: i have heard the story from so many different people and it is always the same. I guess the kid is the real deal when it comes to roping. My step dad used to work on a ranch in Montana and they roped a badger.

I saw one sneaking away this morning early.  It took me awhile to get him to stop and look back.  When he did I shot, but thought I may have missed as I watched him hauling ass.  As I was short on time, I let him be and came back a few hours later.  Found him piled up about 80 yards from where I shot him.

Later had on "opportunity" dog, he was running straight away.  (I'll post a separate pic on a different thread) but Team Lamar has 2 more :)

VarmintVentilator went out today, while I was WORKING  :yike: and killed this little female. He actually shot two dogs but never found the other one. 12-23-09 one more for SBA.

LOL....I love it.

I should have had two, not sure what happened on the first one.  Shot this one sitting on his butt.  He stinks pretty good and has a lot of matted up hair.  MAYBE, I'll get the chance to sneak out of here later for a set or 3.

Another for S.B.A. Did a little spotlighting this morning and was able to shoot this 17# female at 225 yards. After daylight I saw only one other dog, 400 yds and running. Tried 2 or 3 sets, but no luck. I think the snow was just to noisy, it was like walking on corn flakes. :(

BullElk and I and a guest (Pokey) went out today, Here's my SBA contribution for the day, I should have had 4. Got another one at 328 yrds but couldn't find it in the sagebrush and missed a couple at 378 and 375. Gonna have to range check my rifle in this colder weather I guess. At least that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.  :chuckle:
 Pokey missed one a 70 yds broadside, dang newbies anyway.  :chuckle:  BullElk will post his later.

I was able to pick up 3 dogs today, first one was a drive by at 200 yards. The second one I called in to 75 yards, after I saw it laying on the hillside at 800 yards. Took about 45 min's to circle around behind, took about 2 min's of calling before he was 75 yards. Third dog I shot going in to make a set, she was 175 yards.  I do have to admit that I missed two others standing broadside at 278 and 262 yards, not sure what happened. Forgot missed another at 400 yds. :o

I actually plan on taking him with me, he has a new 243 Remington that I need to get sighted in today. He can't walk very far but I have a perfect place to set him up in a chair while I do the calling. There is nothing like hunting with your dad  :tup:

Here's one for SBA from this am. We went out early for a little spotlighting but only saw a couple out in the 400 yr range so passed on those. Did about 4 sets once it got light and on the 1st set this guy came racing in. As usual when we get one on the first set you might as well head for the barn, next 3 sets were a bust but there were no signs at those sets.  :dunno:

6 sets and NOTHING.  Did see my first pair running hard at 400 yards when I was walking back to the truck.  I did get two stupid ones that should have known better than to watch me drive by.  One at 225 yards the other was a quite slow runner.

I've been lazy and think it's time to empty out the back of my truck  :chuckle: :chuckle:

Post by: FALFire on December 28, 2009, 06:27:53 PM
Good going Gutpile  :rockin: and MHWASH  :tup:


Man today was a rough one, VarmintVentilator and I went out this morning about 7:30, we set up on a bluff both taking a side so we could eyeball more area. I got the call going after a couple of locate howls and suddenly I hear the 6.8 sound off to my left. I know how good a shot Varmint V is, so I just sat quietly and continued callin'.
About 5 minutes later I look to my right and I see this dog tip toeing through the tulips , I turn on him and I think I must have spooked him a bit cause he starts picking up his pace a little. I'm in a bad position but was still able to get glass on him at 177 yards. The 25-06 roared and the dog flipped up rolled over, got up, spun around and  freaking ran off  :yike: "No DAMN way, I said to myself, that *censored*e just ain't right"

 Yep...........I lost him  :bash:

So I looked over to my left and here comes Varmint V and he's empty handed. Turns out he cleanly missed one about 250 yards, he was not happy. So we ended up wandering around to another location to make a second stand.

Again, I start things off with a good long Locate howl and turn the Bandit on to sing the dieing something tastey blues. No kidding, 2 minutes later and I see a coyote running hard right at us at 250 yards out. He's wasting NOOOO time getting there, VV and I get on'em and he clears the little dirt mound 75 yards in front of us and he's still on a charge. 50 yards and I decide to turn the 25 loose on his ass, BOOM and he turns and runs away. VV gets a round or two off and I respond with another. Nothing, then the 6.8 sings once again and we both hear that familiar whack of copper and lead smackin' sweet tender meat.

There he is flippin' and a floppin', spinnin' and twistin', then, he get's up, dusts himself off and runs away??? :yike: :yike: :bash: Noooo Noooo Noooo not another runner! We looked for him for over an hour. Found blood in several places but no dog.

So we gave up and found another stand about 1/2 mile away. When Varmint V is just about to sling lead at a target of opportunity I see a coyote out across the flat. Then another, and one more but the third one is much closer. So we go in the general same direction and I sat up looking out over the bluff onto the flat. Varmint V goes a little farther and sets up over looking the ravine that he thinks this dog is going to use. Well, he guessed right, the coyote came up to within 175 yards and the 6.8 110 Accubond finds it's home right through the rib cage. Then the spinning and rolling on the ground starts all over again, and why should this be any different, eh? Yes, you guessed it, up he comes and the third hit dog of the day runs off  :bash: :yike: :bash: I honestly have never seen this happen before and we was just a little peeved at ourselves.

So now we feel the heat is on, we change up locations and try another spot. So far we had seen 9 coyotes total before noon and now we know it's time to get serious and start puttin' the hurt on these dogs.

For our 4th stand we set up over looking a real nice draw, I get busy on the dieing rabbit distress call from THO custom calls. I'm singing the blues and Boom, I hear that doggone 6.8 sound off once again and I see this coyote flipping and bouncing all over that place till he stops and lays peacefully among the silence. Finally Varmint V makes a case with the 6.8SPC. I keep up on the blues and about five minutes later here comes a pair from my left. I know Varmint V can't see over the small rise between him and the dogs so I let them keep coming in. At about 60 yards I kill the trailing dog just as he stopped to take a sniff. Then the lead dog turns and hightails it back the way they came in, I connect with a 90 grain HP from the 25-06 just before he disappears in the tall stuff. Whack goes the 90 grainer and all I see is *censored* and elbows as the male takes a header.

What a day, we are beat but heading back out tomorrow morning with fully loaded mags, as this time I'm taking my 6.8 along for the ride for fast follow ups.

Gary , what bullets are you useing in the 06? sompthing is wayyyyy wrong .

Jerry, I'm using the Federal 90 grain Hp stuff, it's what I had available for the new Tikka. It's not the bullets, it's the loose screw behind the trigger  :P
I think I just clipped the dog in the butt-inski as he waddled away from the crime scene instead of running full throttle. When I get a good hit, the 90's do a very fine job. It goes to prove, coyotes aren't willing to just lay down and die real easy  :o

As far as the 6.8 goes, we know what the problem is, those Accubond 110's are just too hard of a bullet and the 6.8 can't push them hard enough for expansion on these small dogs. We are switching back to 110 V-Max and 90 TNT's from now on.

Anyway, today VarmintVentilator and I went back out to try to better the odds from yesterday but the fog was a real pain so we left early. Only out for an hour or so but Varmint V did get the only thing that showed up. I started out with a couple of challenge howls and this guy showed up to take on all new comers, cept he got more than he bargained for. The 110gr V-Max from a 270 did the trick at 84 yards.

So I want to know how much a picture of 6 wolves is worth, sorry no field photos. LOL  and maybe a Lynx I called in.  I'm not sure yet on any of them as the light SUCKED and the Bobcat in question I thought was a cougar at first then all I could think of was Lynx but figured.....nah just a huge Bob.   Then I ran into someone who told me they saw a lynx the week before and they told me the exact spot I had this guy. LOL  I am about to upload the pics to see what I think and what you might think.  All I could think about was camera settings and getting the pictures.   In my mind I was thinking holy *censored* thats a big bob and man he looks funny :chuckle:

Bone,
On one hand I think how few of people have been able to take pics of wolves in this state......

But, on the other..............it's kinda hard to get real excited about "seeing" them.


I'd love to see the pics though, poor quality or not.  I figure they ought to be worth 3 points a piece or something  :dunno:

I tried to walk out a badger today in the snow but he didn't want to come out of his hidey hole...although I did think of calling just outside of it to see if I could get a pic of him coming to the call.  But, that would be a better situation if I would have had my camera with me.

I did get two today and lost one.  

Two more for Team Lamar.

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF9786.jpg)

BTW, if you look closely to the small mangy dog in my left hand, you can see a line on his side.  That was the first shot.  The camera doesn't do it justice, but it is a grazing shot that barely hit him in high on the hip then ran along side of him.  Looked like you used a small pair of clippers on him.  I haven't one quite like that before....and it kinda cracked me up.

VV,
One healthy one ratty one.

Bone, how far out where they?  I look at the dog on the left and looking at his profile, I'd assume he was a coyote.  MAYBE a bit long legged and in a big pack, but that pic is spooky as far as what I thought I knew about easy identification.

Also, LOVE the bobcat pic.  I've never seen one in the wild.

Tl will have to answer that question for you.  THANK GOD, you have it this year and not me.   It is a tough job, and you are kicking butt.  I'd imagine you can get a team signed up, but you'd need to start over on coyotes, past ones not counting.     That is some serious killing guys.  

Tl, I think you need to count pics again though, there were 6 wolves in the pic, one bobcat and I have posted at least 2 coyotes so far. LOL

Bearman, you KNOW I am always game for one of your calls.  Anywhere from experiments you want tried to custom show pieces.  I love them all.

TL - I see that you added me to a team.....not sure if you included my dogs or not, but I didn't take pics, so if you did, they shouldn't count.  Just want to be fair.   I didn't really want to play this year, cause walking over to get them is tough in my country (Snake River Breaks).  I would rather just shoot them and look at pics on here  :chuckle:

Talking with the game biologists in our area a year or two ago, he said their was no way to get an accurate count, the only thing they know is when ranchers will come in from time to time when ever there's a problem.  But most of the ranchers near me carry rifles anyway.  Got to protect their investments.  199 coyotes is alot of coyotes though.

Add a miss for me  :bash:

Wanted to hunt all weekend over christmas but was fogged out. Had a short break in the fog and had some down time between Christmas presents and Christmas dinner. Called one in but it froze up around 600 yards, at the same time one came in over the back and busted me. Got one shot off before it was out of sight.

Picked up a .243 from Jackalope and was giving it a try last weekend.

Thanks for the thanks guys.  Wish I had more to add, but out of 18 stands I have come up with 1 dead coyote (too tough of a walk....o.k. too lazy of a hunter), seen 4 coyotes total, and one fox.  Brutal. 

jjhunter and guano were added to teams as of 12/13.  That was around the time they made a request.  If you guys have photos of anything after that date, go ahead and post them up and we will score them.

Bulldozer - Post who you want on your team, and we will add you.  Points start from that moment, like Boneaddict stated.

I wacked another today just before dark in the ice/snow storm we had. He was locked up at about 800 yards and i didnt think he would end up coming in all the way, but he saw the mojo decoy and came waddling in to 129 yards. I nailed him with the .204. It was to nasty to try and get a field picture out so i parked the rig in the garage for the picture ;) tally up another for team lamar.

Nice Going Firecrotch!

You seem to be getting back into them!  I saw a lot of dogs today, few pairs, but they were in a hurry to get somewhere.  But, ALAS!  I think I found out where they were headed.....

I'm a little embarrassed that it took me so long to figure it out, but it is New Years Eve and all.

Seems they were having a party.  This guy must have started drinking a wee bit early and sadly won't see 2010.

Gringo, When you move pics to a different folder in Photobucket you change the path of the pic. You would have to repost or You could move them back to the original folder and then they will show up in the posts. No quick fix that I know of.

It's a foggy mucky mess here today.  Still have some snow but it got rained on pretty good.  Calling for the high's in the low 40's tomorrow.

I do have a bit of a funny story though.  I was checking on one particular area that coyotes tend to hang around and thought I'd go get a good look.  I'm walking over that way and hear some heavy snoring.  As I'm getting closer, it's obvious that they have been rather enjoying themselves.

The amount of dog piss in the area was much more than normal, and I found several piles of puke.  As I eased up to the snoring sounds, I found this guy  :chuckle: :chuckle:




I guess some guys have all the luck  :dunno:

Different dog, same photo location.  Momma is my picture taker, so I bring em home and she takes em from the house.  The new years eve dog I shot going away from me.  This morning's dog was on a carcass and ran about 180 yards but stopped broadside to look back.

I still had the new years eve dog in the back of my truck, so I figured I'd take it out and take a pic of both together.  MtnMuley, PLEASE don't think I think you were accusing me.....NOT the case.  But, I do know that anytime there are contests, there usually is a cheater or two in em.  I just like everything being on the up and up and after looking at yesterdays picture, they do look a lot alike and you can't tell if the hole behind the shoulder is an entrance with no exit or what....

Yesterdays dog does look a bit different now after getting rained on though.

So, here is a pic of my last dog of 2009, and the first of 2010.

Here's one for SBA, Crunchy snow made for some tough hunting today besides the full moon. Couldn't get any others to commit even though they were there. This guy even tried to sneak in. Had one more that came in and back out thru the only area we didn't have covered very well.

At least you killed one  :tup: VarmintV and I went out to a new ranch and after a couple of howls, we had one dog just come screaming in to the call. I thought VV was going to shoot and VV thought I had'em. We both tried to get glass on him but we was just a little late as the dog was only about 25 feet from us when he disappeared in the brush. 4 power scopes are just a bit too much when they are that close and runnin' straight at'cha. Next trip over there I'll be taking a shotgun or my 300 Fireball AR with an Aimpoint sight.

I usually don't hunt on the full moon phase but today was my last day off from work to hunt for a week  :'(

I guess I'm feeling a little better.  I took a hunt-wa member with me to call some yotes and had ZERO responses to howling and NOTHING coming to a distress call.  Everything look and felt like it would be hot but it was dead.  We did SEE a lot of yotes but as far as calling went......no dice.

Yotehunter and I went out yesterday morning for a bit. We watched this one work it's way in to about 25 yds when she decided something wasn't quite right and turned to leave. Yotehunter was set up in the wrong direction so I took the shot at 30 yds. We were only calling for a few minutes so we decided to stay put and see what happens. About five minutes later another one starts in on the exact same track as the first one. This one turns tail at 200 yds and is gone. We think it may have seen the dead one and got spooked.   :dunno:

Big10 and I had a very tough day. We put up with wind, fog, rain and some sun, throughout the day. On the 8th set of the day this female came running in from my left straight to the bush where the foxpro was setting, 20 yards away. She stopped, put her front paws on the bush and started bitting at the caller. I made a move to get a shot, she must have heard me and started to leave, but stopped at 50 yards.

Since we have to flip the dogs over, here are pic's of both sides. :chuckle: :)

It's been a bit of a dry spell....seems not just for me but for most of us.  I passed up on a dog earlier this week and never saw him again.  Then this afternoon I found a mangy male that passed away at about 140 yards.

Well, Varmintventilater and I went out this morning. I had one coming right in to the call but he must have caught wind of us and did an about face. Last time I saw him he was standing on a ridge some 400 plus yards out and I didn't have time to get glass on him.

So we moved to try another spot about 1/2 mile or so away and VV killed this one at 180 yards with his 6.8 and 110 V-Max bullets.

This nice male didn't really want to play the game. Started out with the bunny blues then after about 15 minutes I gave a howl to see if anything was around. He immediately answered so I gave him another howl. He returned with a challenge howl but I gave him a coyote yip and long howl. He shut up so we waited another 10 minutes or so to see if he was sneaking in. That didn't pan out so we circled around about a 1/4 mile and gave the bunny blues. After about 4 minutes I saw him just sitting there in the sagebrush 225 yrds watching in our direction. Gave a couple of squeaks and he started to move in, lost him in a draw so I kept squeaking every once in a while. Finally saw him about 150 yrds off peeking thru the sagebrush. Another squeak got him moving in, at 120 yrds I stopped him with a woof and dropped him. He was a fat healthy one with a good coat so we tubed him out. I think he came in out of curiosity or thought that another coyote was stilll around rather than being hungry and looking for a meal. Only coyote we saw or heard all day.

Title: Re: Coyote Madness 10/1/09 - 2/28/10 Results
Post by: Big10gauge on January 17, 2010, 08:17:20 AM
I think howling is like any other type of calling, trying it from your pickup and then hoofing it in about a mile can produce two different results especially in areas with a high density of coyote hunters. I'm not going to rant on about road hunters.  :chuckle: Coyotes are only going to respond so long before they go quiet and it's during that responding time that hopefully you can hear them coming closer or if they are just going to sit and let you know they're there.  There's several schools of thoughts on when to howl, Either before after or during your set. Howling first thing can let you know if their are coyotes in the area and perk them up BUT some callers think you may be scaring some potential victims off. Howling afterwards is kind of like trying to recover after fumbling the ball in hopes that you can get an answer and get one to come in that wasn't interested in your distress calls, or see if there are any in the area. Howling in the middle may convince a coyote that another coyote has caught a meal and might come in to investigate which may be the same for howling first/last thing.  During mating season howling has a very good/better chance of bringing one in. I do get a lot more answers back than actual coyotes coming in to a howl but now is when howling should start producing more.The problem for me is that there are so many variables in any given set that I am undecided if one way is better or not. I've decided this year for any coyotes I spot in the far distance I'm going to howl and see what their responses are. For me howling is one of the hardest types of calling to do properly and am certainly not by any means a veteran at howling. There are a few guys on board here that could probably give classes on howling. I've rambled on enough, hope this helps.

Post by: Jerry malbeck on January 17, 2010, 09:00:49 AM
 The dumb ones are dead guys , Calling from now on until spring is going to take some education unless you have some isolated ground that no one else can call on  .
 
I did exactly what Wade was talking about for a number of years.
whenever i saw a coyote out in a field or in the sage i would get a ways away from it and howl and watch its responce.
 I re comend this to any and all of you .
 Its a learning tool and you will learn allot about howling and what kind of howls to make .
 You wont howl in many at first , but if your a good student you will in time figure out what works and what sends them in the other direction with their tail between their legs .
Howling is an art , calling in and working coyotes is an art.
Time in the field will answer your questions, and just when you think you have it all figured out you'll hit a three week dry spell LOL.
I could write a book on what i have seen and learned about howling in coyotes , it takes allot of hours and allot of patience and for me has had limited success.
I think anyone who claims to have a Hugh responce from coyotes just by howling them in is very well optimistic  :rolleyes:)
its just like all things that apply to calling right place , right time , right animal .
always remember when using a howl on a stand always watch the down wind  ;)

Well that verifies some suspicions I have had for years.  It really dose come down to the right place, Right time, right amount of pressure.  It is a mater of time in the Field, trial & error, learning from mistakes & how to speak their language.  Thanks for the info...
 I guess I was paranoid of the lack in responses lately, along with some criticisms by other hunters who seem to have an unfounded opinion about the right approach of when & how to use the howl..  Every situation is a opportunity to learn something new.

I'm not that good at this game, but just this  winter I was in a barking contest with a yote not 200 yds away and had a blast playing around with him.  The best part of that few moments was there was another coyote less than 50 yds. from me the whole time and it never phased that dawg abit, being that close to my call.  When I got done barking with the one yote. I killed the other.  Like Jerry said, the dumb ones usually die.  The next time out, I can't get a response out of anything, using everything in my bag.  Maybe that's why they call it hunting.  Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. :dunno:

maybe thats why they are tryin to outlaw the things! :chuckle:
Maybe you should consider a AK 47 i heard you can run them over with a truck and they still work so i guess throwing them at varmints wouldnt hurt them either .  :chuckle:

VarmintVentilator killed this one today at 130 yards with his 22-250 and 55 Nosler Ballistic Tips. He came running to the Minaska Bandit Blues full tilt boogie then promptly died with his foot in his mouth. He would have posted this but his computer usb port gave up.

I guess I was paranoid of the lack in responses lately, along with some criticisms by other hunters who seem to have an unfounded opinion about the right approach of when & how to use the howl.. 


 :lol4:

That will just teach ya to be careful with who you hunt with.  It was a SLIGHT criticism BTW...


 :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I am surprised, that you feel like you fall into that category of hunters who have "unfounded opinion's".  :kneel: Besides I have yet to here you use the howl, I am not criticising your methods by any means, but given the last couple of days I am beginning to think that you have already shot all the yotes in the area... :dunno:  Or at least the stupid easy ones. :chuckle:

Another stuff day, was able to call in this young female. On the 5th set of the day about 5 min's into the call I heard Big10 say here comes a yote, no just two deer, no its a yote, no just a bunch of deer, 5 seconds later I hear, no its deer chasing a yote, sure enough here comes 5 deer chasing this poor yote through the sagebrush and halfway down the hillside. She continued down the hill toward the bottom stopping at 191 yards, set was over. Big10 will fill in the blanks on the rest of the day.  :bash:

Well I wasn't going to say anything, But since you brought it up. BullElk and I did a great deed of compassion today. We were into the day about 6 hours and on the 8th set I think and doing the bunny blues again about at the 15 min mark and decided to howl instead. A pair lit up about a 1/4 mile away so traded a few howls back and forth. About at the 29 min mark here they come about 380 yrds down a hill towards us. At the 310 mark they held up so we starting squeaking. They came in real cautious, the male stopping at 130 yds and the female came in to about 80yds. Bullelk takes the 130 yd shot and as soon as he shoots I stand up and start swinging in the female and take the shot.We must of decided just before pulling the triggers that there were so few yotes in that area they needed a couple of warning shots so they could give us some more to shoot at next year. To you yote hunters out there a little compassion can yield greater rewards in the years to come. Actually I'll cut the BS, we just plain missed.  :chuckle:

Pathetic day for the rest of High Desert.  Saw 3 dogs all day.  All on private land, with no permission.  The first one up in the snow actually came running towards the truck right at daylight.  Once he recognized we weren't his friends, he turned and burned.  The next two were bedded together in the wide open at 100 yards at noon.  Once again, on the one piece of ground with no permission!  Took several pics before I could finally get them together in the same frame.  With these mid spring-like, 50 degree days, the hunting has gotten pretty difficult. :(

Caught this coyote jogging by at 30 yds.  Decided to let him stop and rest at the 100 yd. mark.  Permanently.  We guessitamated him to be at the 40 lb. range, but without scales not sure.  Heavy dawg though.  Saw a few more later in the morning, but nothing close.

Big10, you're not alone... saw 9 today. Saw one eyeing us from the truck when we pulled in this morning at about 700 yards. First set we had one stick at about 600 yards and disappear... Had a reasonable shot at one and decided to just give it a shave... found hair but not a drop of blood. Later, had a big old male tease us at about 400 yards, and another one circle below us. Took a desperation shot I'm not proud of.. score 2 for the yotes today. Saw 4 on private land.. two mating pairs we could have shot from the truck.. go figure. Good day to at least see them, though, I suppose! At least we had the sight distance. Thank goodness for a little relief from the fog!

Happy hunting...

I guess I feel better about not being the only one having a hard time of late.  Three more for Team Lamar.  Got one Friday and a buddy of mine and I went out Saturday.  Each getting one.  One of the last stands we did we saw a dog as we got there.  Deciding whether or not to make the stand as a runner just went right thru it.  As we were walking down into this canyon, we spotted another dog on the far side that was looking our way but not at us.  When this dog turned to walk it had a bad limp on its left front.  We talked about how best to approach and the "winning" idea was to have me crawl down to the bottom in a little bowl while my buddy stayed up on the cayon from a good vantage point.  From the bottom, I had poor field of view but thought being the "bait" this might work out.  I started doing nothing more than trying to squeek the cripple in.  From there I went to "lucky bird".  After a bit of nothing, I get a hand signal from my buddy to turn it up more.  I do and within a minute or so I can see my buddy getting ready.  This dog was coming to me, but my buddy hit his squeeker (to let me know a dog is coming) and it turns straight for him and on a dead run.  He shoots twice and yells, "He's coming right at ya!"  I stand up and this coyote is now 30 yards and doesn't want to be our invited guest anymore.  I turned the power down on my scope and about 5 rounds later off hand....he decided it wasn't so bad hanging with us afterall.   :chuckle:

Saw a fair amount of dogs (which isn't saying much as of late as it's been very quiet).  Zero responses to the howler and 2 of these were females.

Saw these two, the only two last week.  They were 200 yds apart, I tried everything to get some kind of response.  Decoy,howling, distress, Ki-Yi, nothing they didn't do anything.  one of them actually laid down & took a nap in the sun.  It appears that are a little more active this week, at least it isn't just me me who is feeling the slow down in the activity.

Now, now....

I call my self a tad better than average, no more.  I am damn certain SEVERAL guys on here are leap years ahead of me as far as skill in calling.  Mostly I use my Foxpro Fx3, can't take much credit for that......

Swag might not be able to keep his mouth shut on this one but my shooting skills make up for some of my calling deficiencies  8)

I'm not sure it has been officially posted but Swag is now part of Team Lamar.  Also, like some have stated, it's not too hard to shoot accurately when you keep em all penned up like I do.   :IBCOOL:

The best part about a "competition" like this one is that it is for fun.  It keeps a lot of the BS out of it and allows it to be what it should.  People sharing common passions and past times as well as getting to know some fantastic people.

So many things come to mind in response to this.... :liar: Both with his calling :fishin: as well as his shooting :hunt2:
It is best summarized by "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while"..  You cant knock his success...

But he is definitely right about this contest...  I have been more excited about participating in this contest than any derby I have participated in..  It truly is about the celebration of the sport.

The real question should be how many rounds :mgun2: for each coyote...   :dunno:


If I am going to be perfectly honest he dose have an unbelievable ability to pull off some spectacular shots.. LUCK!!!!!!!  His true secret Is... I Quote "his eagle eyes." If you believe that load :rolleyes:......

I am with you guys I think his true talent is the ability is to pen them up on his way home......

Its been slow at work so i decided to help Team Sagebrush out a bit today (got off my lazy @#$). Third set of the day I was calling a big over sagebrushed draw, after approx. 9 minutes there was a pair about 70 yards below me, by the time i could raise the rifle they bolted, i followed one by eye out to about 300 yards, was very tough to see the danged things.  After he disappeared i decided to start bawling again, the craziest thing happend, he started coming back in!!
He was heading to my left, trying to get wind, finally after squeaking for about 3 minutes, they were both sitting clear to my left at 85 yards, dumped the first one dead center chest, the second ran about 10 yards further and stopped broadside, big mistake.:IBCOOL:  Both were males, first one was around 30lbs, second probably about 26.

On my last set of the day, after another 10 minute calling session, i got a little bitty thing to come in, female, must have been no more then 18lbs. torched her broadside, right in the shoulder  :on at 80 yards

Two more for S.B.A. Sagebrushstalker and I made it out today.  On about the 4th set of the day stalker called in a pair, tried to stop both at 120 yds but it didn't work the female stopped but the male continued. I told stalker to take him first and i will take the female.  He fired and she took off, I was able to get a shot off at her, hitting her in the hip. Not sure what happened, but the one stalker was shooting at was running out the bottom. After about 30 seconds I saw the one I hit running across the hillside, not sure why but she stopped half way down the hill. I took a hell mary 380 yd shot to stop her. :o

On the 6th set, Ole lucky came in to about 40 yds, stalker pulled his shot a little right hitting him in the left front leg. Thinking he was going to be a runner he made a quick second shot. No need he was already missing his right front leg, had a broken jaw and missing part of his left ear. One tough critter.

Traded howls again and he moved in to around 250 yrds but I couldn't see him. I waited for another 15 minutes but he stayed right in the sagebrush and sang a short little tune for me. About at the 40 min mark I gave a female whimper back and he headed in . Finally saw him at 120 yrds coming in full tilt for a little lovin. At 90 yrds he died of a broken heart.  :chuckle: Got backdoored on the next set.

The 2nd pic is one that SBStalker popped a couple caps at yesterday but couldn't find as it was getting dark. I thought I would give a looksee today and picked up some blood and "other" bits and pieces about 200 yrds from where he shot it, saw a golden eagle tearing into something about another 100 yrds or so away in the top of a draw and found it. That Eagle sure was giving me the ol stink eye as I approached his whole face was red. Looked like SBS did hit it both times he shot. One took off some hide on top and the other one was a little low.  I think the coyote might have been a little further away than he thought when he shot.  :chuckle:  And I did photoshop his face on my body cause no one wants to see my ugly mug up that close.  :o

Good job guys. VarmintVentilator and I went out on Saturday, we had several responce howls but they were way off, never did see anything. I went out on Sunday and the fog was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Never even heard a howl so I came home and started building fences.  :dunno:

Bullelk, those are some crazy pics... :o

I haven't been so lucky, I have spent years trying to refine the ability to successfully call in coyote's.  For some reason it just isn't working like it used to, especially with the howl.  Now after receiving a new SLR camera for Christmas I have made it harder on myself by trying to get the pic's before the yote is dead in the back of the truck.   :bash:

Spent allot of time last week scouting new ground, seeing yote's from the roads but when I went back to make the sets later that day I just got pics & I ended up rushing the shots.

I am sure that every one who has ever gone hunting has had equipment failure's every thing from forgetting calls, bent or broken reeds, wrong or missing ammo, dead batteries :dunno:, or missing the remote to your expensive electronic coyote call :chuckle:.  But no matter what it is, you make the best of a crappy situation.  We all have encountered different situations that weren't the best, but let me tell you Gringo 31 & I learned a valueable lesson on Saturday.  If you are ever faced with a situation ware the truck you are using to move from set to set in sounds like a NHRA Drag car probally not a good Idea to take it yote hunting. :bdid: With a V-8 that has just straight exhaust manifolds due to broken collector the look on the this yote's face (the only Yote) we spotted speaks for itself.  Nominally they run at the sight of this truck...  For you guys who question Gringo 31 shooting skills, Ya he is still alive.. :rolleyes: :mgun:

Yep....I missed that one.  Fired one shot all day.  4 stands and nothing came, that was the only dog we saw.  BTW, saw 2 today, one running hard the other bedded down taking a nap but about 440 yards.....next time.

Got out last Tuesday, and set up on a CRP slope overlooking some wheat stubble. Watched and waited for a bit, then let out about 4 spaced out howls with some barks thrown in for good measure with a mouth blown howler. Saw this dude when he hit the edge of the wheat stubble at about 550yds.  He worked the edge of the stubble field pretty well headed right toward me. He started to get close to my downwind at around 250yds, and stopped to re-evaluate. A 40 grn. Blitzking from my Flat Top AR seemed to answer any lingering questions he might have had.

By the way.... The dog in the pictures had a pretty decent coat, and nice red on the ears, but it was "thin" coatwise. I'm guessing that's due to our Springlike Winter this year. Some of the dogs I've seen pictures posted of on here have looked thicker. What's the general impression out there? Is anyone getting good enough coats to sell? I'm considering taking my .25-06 next time since the coats are looking sketchy, and just "tearing some". The quarter bore is typically my summer gun when pelts aren't a concern, but I think it might be time. BIG increase in range, too!

Thanks Mark. That gun's kinda become my favorite, but I'm about to rekindle my love affair with my 700 Sendero in .25-06. They're bot SHOOTERS! One of these days, I'll have to get the Swift back out of the gun safe! Good talking to you this A.M.

Too many guns too little time. Just bought a T3 .243 (havent connected), have a swede that shoots lights out (never got it out this year....for yotes, did get an Antelope with it though), 220 swift (never got it out.....did get some p-dogs though  :chuckle: ), a .260 that never saw a dog  :bash:  :bash:.  Oh well the bushy is shooting great. It treated me right for the few I did get. Like they say.... there's always next year.  :IBCOOL:

I believe I figured it out, :whoo:
  Leave the camera in the truck... I spotted these 2 from the road while at work, kept a eye on them for about 2 hours until it was time to go.  I was surprised to see that they hadn't moved at all. 
   It was know time to take action, called Gringo 31 who was close by, to see if he would be interested in insuring a double...  He promptly replied that he was going to bow out, due the bad luck I was obviously bringing him. :'(
   My plan was to move in from the north to a spot that I had called from before, & make a stand.  On the way in I spotted another pair of yotes at about 1000yrds to the east.  I had already been busted so I just kept moving in on the first set. 
   Now just to give you guys a little perspective I am 6'6'' tall @ about 320lbs, so to sneak my big ass in, is a real challenge.   :EAT:

   I spent 15-20 min crawling just to get with in 600yrds.  After getting set up I through every call I had at them, they didn't budge.  Started getting real aggressive with the challenge bark, one of them finally stood up, but he was looking back to the the west.  There was a small group of cows running down to the corner of the fence. I had seen this once before with Gringo 31 they were chasing a yote.  I looked back at the first pair they were just disappearing over the ridge, running hard.  30 seconds later two more appeared at about 200yrds, at a pretty steady pace.  Through out a few challenge barks the female stopped, at what I steeped out at 382 steps.  Still cant believe I actually connected after so many Misses....




I think they are in love

BTW, saw 2 today, one running hard the other bedded down taking a nap but about 440 yards.....next time.

Well, today happened to be "next time".  I saw this same dog bedded down again, not far from where he was the other day.  He was bedded broadside with his head to the right and tail to my left.  I had a little breeze right to left.  He was quite a ways so I held my cross hairs on the hair line between his ears.  Bang Flop.

Stepped of 353 yards.

2 for SBA. Here's a pair that we howled in, saw them coming about 1/4 mile away at full tilt. They got to about 120 yrds and I barked but they wouldn't stop. Finally the male stopped at 80 yrds and I put it down, the female took off running back the way she came and at 150 yds we both shot at the exact time and both connected. These two were in excellent shape so kept the best pelt.

Big10,
What the hell is that white stuff you got around there?  I forgot what that looked like.  Swag and I went out today, I'll let him give the details.  We had some fantastic stands and would have little to show had Swag not literally taken over 100 pictures today.  It was a damn photo safari by the time we were thru.  I think that camera has 3 shot bursts on it or something.... :chuckle:.  I'll share more later.

 :lol4:

That cracked me up!!! 

I don't think I stretch any stories.  I misses a "clean up" dog AFTER Swag missed.  I held a foot high and lead it about 3.5 feet and saw the bullet hit about 3 feet short.  It didn't look that far......I missed a second dog that I shouldn't have, just flat out pulled it.  But got him on a follow up.  AND.....I missed one more that was a runner.  FYI, don't believe any BS story you may hear about a dog looking at "someone" at 10 feet, and him waiting for me to take the shot (on a dog I didn't see)

lol.....

Well lets just say aside from the company, :iamwithstupid: it was an awesome morning of hunting, this is probably the best morning of hunting we have had in a while. On the second set of the morning we set up in perfact position over looking a canyon with the sun at out backs, no wind.  Let out one howl, waited, straight into Luckybird. looked down to my left & saw one hard charger headed my way, I didn't even realize when I took the pic that there was 2 others dogs following.
 (http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10012.jpg)

As the first approached, Gringo alerted me to the other 2 dogs witch seemed to hang up at the tree. So I felt sorry for Gringo, potentially not having a shot.  So I figured I would let the first one spook past me & on to him. Unfortunately this dog wanted the luckybird that was 20yrds behind me.
 (http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10015.jpg)

As you can see from the pic, that is the end of the barrel on my 16'' Ar on the right. He was pistol close, he hung around for quite a while, but finally disappeared. Out of the 2 dogs by the tree, one broke & came into the thick stuff.  But I never saw her, until they were headed back out past the tree. They were in a little bit more of an hurry than when they came. Ya Gringo gave me a hard time for not shooting the easy one, but if I would of shot I would have had to listen to him whine about me being a Yote Whore.
:'(
In retrospect I should of shot, but either way that is one of the top 5 stands of all time for me...

That is taking into consideration who I was hunting with................... :chuckle:  
  
We left that stand with an awesome story on a perfact morning in the outdoors, with not one dog....

It did continue to be a great morning, I will update later got to get up early to do it again in the morning.....

Went out this am for just a couple of hours so I could be back for the game. Took a longtime friend out 30+ years hoping to get him a coyote. Well it didn't pan out for him as the coyotes kept popping up on my side. Oh well maybe next time. Got this posted with 2 minutes to spare before game time!!

My wife was Right, I should of stayed in bed today.  Hunted most of the day, nothing would come to the call.  Tried to set up some stalks on a few dogs after spotting them from a distance but I was busted every time.

Spotted this guy on the way to the first stand. So I snuk in about 800yrds to the east of him & started calling, never saw him again.
(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/2-7-10DSC_0115.jpg)

On the next stand this dog appeared long enough for me to take a couple of pic's & jump up on his hind legs twice.  Then he was gone, not sure what all of the jumping was about.....

(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/2-7-10DSC_0123.jpg)

Saw the next two on the way into new stands, never had a chance to even lay cross hairs on either of them.

I have to figure out what the heck these yote's want, it isn't a fight, a "Friend", & for some reason they don't want food. :bash:

Back to Saturday. It was a fabulous, "Perfact", except for someone I will leave nameless. As far as that someones comment "Photo Safari". I did need to take several pics due to his driving skill's, just so I can get a least one that will turn out. It vary hard to manage while holding on for dear life, the roads he decides to dive down are the exact opposite of what any normal person would be be willing to subject their kidneys to :o

On the drive in to a stand we jumped these 2 & good old Gringo31 felt obligated to educate them in the art of running much faster. After missing of course... :chuckle:
(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10072.jpg)

After making another unsuccessful stand as we were driving to the next it happend again only this time ol Gringo decided that he wouldn't waste the ammo.. :tup:
(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10034.jpg)

The next stand Gringo finally managed to connect..
(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10044.jpg)

(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10063.jpg)

There was 2 but I didn't see the second until he was way out there.
(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10052.jpg)

Know Gringo had some choice thoughts which I happen to agree with, but don't tell my wife she still thinks I yote hunt for the exercise....... :chuckle:
(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10064.jpg)

Off to the next stand, along the the way we saw these 2 laying on the side of the hill.  we were going to put the sneak on them but as we were passing they bolted...
(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10069.jpg)

When we finally got set up in our last stand & started calling, Ol Gringo with his "Eagle Eyes" alerted me to these three on the hill way across the canyon.
(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10079.jpg)

The one on the far left started to head towards us, but got distracted by the other two engaging in some weird behavior... If you look close at the one on the right the third coyote ran towards her and flopped down & rolled over on to his back..  :con: It was a unique experience to see.
(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10080.jpg)

We decided we would drive around to the otherside of the canyon to see if we could get an opportunity at them, but no luck.  

We decided that it had been a wonderful morn & that we should call it a day, on the way out we spotted these.
(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10088.jpg)

(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af131/swag1976/Photosfrom2-6-10103.jpg)

The first one was moving so fast we never had a chance, the rest were on ground that we couldn't hunt.  It was a fabulous morning.. :IBCOOL:  All together Gringo shot 1 & missed allot,"to many to count" :ass: we got pics of 18 different dogs, 3 from the previous post & 15 on this post.  Ol Gringo may complain about my "3 shot burst photo safari" but the truth is, other than documenting his misses he doesn't have to worry about me taking the dogs before he dose. ;)

Swag, Swag, Swag.....

I shot at 3 dogs, one after you missed, one I killed and one "runner" that I shot under.   

That one dog was interesting.  Two we busted walking into the stand.  Somewhere the third showed up.  Later the one dog went towards the other, it layed down on it side for 10 seconds, and then they got up like nothing happened.  Never seen that before.

I'm surprised how well some of those pics come out.  Some of those photos are about half a mile away.

My hunting buddies ditched me today so I went by myself. The second call of the day I called in 5 yotes. First 3 came to my right, I dumped #1, tried to get  a shot at the one leaving not able to, looked to my right again, two more showed up, dumped # 2. Found my howler started the hurt yote distress, one came in from 200 yds on a rope woofing and jumping to about 30 yds. He stopped about 30 yds, scope fogged up, not able to make the shot, winded me headed out stopped at 150, still fogged up, stopped 160 yds, missed. :bash:  Third call of the day called in 3 to my right up hill, tried to coax them closer not able to, started barking at me, turned to my right , leaned back to make the shot off my, knee,(157 yds) number 3 for the day, should have been # 4. >:( Sorry third yote pic was taken with the cell phone, batteries died in the camera.

My hunting buddies ditched me today so I went by myself.

We didn’t ditch you. We were in the next canyon over and every time you squawked on that call of yours we let a couple of coyotes out of the pen and scared them towards you. We figured sooner or later you’d get lucky and hit a couple. It was close, we were running out of coyotes to release.  :hunt2:

I'm going to be going out a couple times this week and through the end of the month to thin out some dogs. I was plussed in on Gutpile's team last year, but this year it looks like it's full. If anyone would like another 6-10 dogs added to their team by the close, PM me. According to the rules, I'll need to be added before tomorrow morning when the sniping begins for them to count.

OK guy's, just to start off by putting in perspective for you... Gringo31 once told me in conversation that he would "arm a cow & eat a sandwich" & it wouldn't bother him a bit.  I believe that he was being 100 percent honest when he said that.  This morning he called me up & said that I had to see this, but there was no way he was going to touch it.  I grabbed the camera & went out to meet him....He managed to put a shot on this poor example of a dog @ about 100yards running dead way.  It was more of a mercy kill than anything else...  You can tell by the expression on his face he is allot closer to that yote then he ever wanted to be....

This is the circus show of Gringo trying to get an old piece of twine tied on the yote to move it out of the field...  I am really surprised I got this pic I was laughing so hard.

Well i got outta class a little early today and felt the urge to make a stand before it got dark. I went to a spot that i had seen many coyotes in the past but never was able to call them in just because of the pressure from pheasant hunters. I walked out about a mile past my truck and set up on a little eyebrow thats in the middle of a seaded field and started calling with rabbit in distress. I called for a full 45 minutes without seeing anything so i stood up and looked around. It was about 10 minutes before dark and figured i would start heading back to my truck. Just before i started packing up i figured i might as well give a howl and see if anything would respond and maybe locate for another day, not 20 seconds after i called i saw 4 dogs bombing in at about 900 yards so i scrabbled to get situated not having a rest but my knee and waited. It didnt take them a minute to get within 250 yards. One of the dogs was only using 3 of his legs and he came in within about 200. I touched one off and sent one through the boiler room on him. The other 3 went scrambling up the hillside and i quickly grabbed my lil dog and started doing a quick pup in distress, one of them turned around took a couple of steps and i nailed him. I shot a couple other of times trying to get the others but they quickly went out of range. I went down to them and looked at the one with a broken foot it had about 4 inch long of hair on that broken foot, ive never seen anything like it before. They were both large males.

Firecrotch,
I shot a big female that had the hair on its foot like that, if you look close the claws will be longer too.  he one I shot had no muscle below the knee joint.  I was told it has to do with the nerves after they have been shot or nicked, plus the hair and claws don't get worn down from running and digging with that foot.  Pretty bizarre anyway.  Sorry for the  :jacked: guys

Well, I got out on Tuesday trying to do Team Hight Desert proud. Hunted about 1.5 miles away from the truck overlooking a CRP bowl. Started out with a couple of howls with the red desert, and dogs lit up all around me. Several to the South, and a bunch more upwind of me to the East. I called back and forth trying to get the Southern dogs to come in, but they didn't want to cross the 600 yds. of open field in winter wheat. I switched over to the Foxpro with a fawn distress, and up popped a nice big dog from the Eastern group sitting @ 288 yds. and looking at my coyote decoy. I had my longer range gun along, and it's on at 300, so I held about an inch lower on his chest than I wanted. At the BANG from the 87 grn Nosler balistic tip from my quarter bore, he cartwheeled, and then flopped 3 times, and done.
Ever try to find a dead coyote with no snow on the ground about 300 yds out into a waist high CRP field? I spent close to an hour looking for that thing, and all I got for my efforts was angry. I really really wanted to post a picture for the team, but failed. SORRY MAN!
Going out again on Sunday. Will come through!

Wile E.

I know what you mean, that tall wheat grass is really hard to find dead coyotes in.  I lost a couple myself this year.  There hard enough to see sometimes when they're just standing still, but when they're laying down dead it can be like finding a needle in a hay stack.

Went out this morning, foggy and raining. Finally cleared up enough to take a hike. 1st set I called one in, it came in hard until about 175 yards and then must of winded me as it turned and hightailed it out without a shot. On the 3rd set got a coyote to respond to the call so I switched to some female vocals. He put on the afterburners and came in on a string. Finally got him to stop at 53 yrds. Didn't realize he was so big until I got up to him. This guy was so fat he had a pig face. Biggest one for me this year and also the best furred one. My scale I had only went to 30 lbs so I decided to pack him out since the pickup was less than 1/2 mile. After a few rest stops I made it.  :chuckle: Got home and weighed him and then I had to skin him out all the way as the hide wouldn't pull off. I guess it takes a .204 to put the big dogs down  :chuckle:

I got a call last night from my night man.  He said that there were 3 coyotes that keep coming into my maternity pens.  He said he ran them off but they keep coming back.  Now it is 2:10am and I'm on my way.  As hard as I keep these dogs out, it's kind of embarrassing to still have a few brazen ones that have yet to be posted here.  Anyway, I see one big male and put him down, never saw any others.

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w252/Dirtydog_pics/DSCF0234.jpg)


This was a BIG male.  The biggest one I've killed all year.  He weighed 37 pounds....I think.  My scale would change a pound one way or the other every time just I got on it.....  But, nice big dog.

I had some family coming out so I didn't hunt the morning.  Swag called and he was frustrated he had a pair hold up on him at 600 yards.  He thought I could sneak in but might need to shoot 400+.  I grabbed the 7mm put on a long stalk only to get busted.  I showed Swag my dog and he went on his way, only to pick a female up a few hours later.

You can really see just how big this male is next to that little female.

While I thinking of it, this dog makes 99.5 points for Team Lamar.  Swag's late contribution of mass photos has been a big part of that.  I just wanted to say that the Sagebrush assassins are the true rock stars of the group.  :rockin: They put in the time, have the talent and make it look like a lot of fun to boot. 

Cheers!   :brew:

It should be a fun finish.

I was down in Vancouver for the weekend and my in-laws have a coyote that they see every day in their yard chasing the chickens. The coyote has gotten a few too. I set up on Sat and managed to call in three of the of the young boys with their BB guns in about five minutes. On Monday I tried again cause all the kids were in the house and my bro-in-law came up the drive in a semi truck. When he saw me he couldn't resist and laid on the air horn. :bash:. I told my father-in-law he was on his own with the coyotes. Monday night I let loose a howl while out smoking and was awnsered by two packs of coyotes that couldn't have been more than five hundred yards out. To bad for all the brush on that side of the state cause there are coyotes like crazy.

Well, VarmintVentilator and I made it out again today for yet another bout with high winds and some new country. We saw a total of 7 or 8 dogs. We both shot at one at 293 yards but missed, then a short time later the little female followed on the same trail and stopped broadside for a lasered 296 yards I hunkered down behind the 6.8 SPC and sent a 110 gr. V-Max her way which dropped her stone dead where she stood, finally breaking my no kill hits for some time.  Later on in the morning we had two come within 20 yards and one of those came within about 20 feet of us which took us both by surprise  :yike: Next time I'm taking a shotgun along too, this has happened way too often and they get gone too fast to hit with a scoped rifle when we hunt the trees.

SO in all we had a good day, here is a snapshot of the little Missy that should not have decided to stop for a look at the country side.

Yeah, it feels good to finally put fur on the ground and keep it there. I won't tell ya about the other one I'm pretty sure I cracked in the tush as he was leaving today or the other two I missed due to bad guesses on distance or the wind, but hey at least I did more shooting than VarmintVentilator  :chuckle:  Now he's whining about getting to shoot the next one  :mgun2: Wellllllll we'll just have to see about that  :rolleyes:

He looks happy now but wait....

Nice coyote but I am jelouse you did better than I - I missed five coyotes today. I hit two of them and they started biting themself and then took off. I put on a new scope yesterday that I got at the sportsman show in Portland and was hitting good at 200yds but I guess I am going to have to put the old scope back on. >:( either that or wait for my glasses to come it the mail. I saw a total of 14 coyotes today but most were a half-mile or more out.

1 for SBA, Here's a old male than came in looking for fight estimated in the low 30 lb range. His muzzle was all scabbed up from a earlier sparring match. He didn't come in downwind where I expected him so I had to turn, He spotted me and high tailed it out, So I aimed below his tail  :chuckle:

Came home and saw one out behind the house and two across the highway. Maybe next weekend will be better  :dunno:

I've told Swag no more pics posted of live dogs.  I did get this one in the camera taken alive, then taken close.  I got this really cool camera.  It allows me to watch coyotes up real close and then see their reaction when I find them too close to the cows.  This one saw me and just fell over dead.   :chuckle: :chuckle:

She was a mangy little female.


I later picked up a male that was in pretty good shape.  I took a pic just before I tossed them on "THE PILE".  Its been growing....

 2 more for SBA, We got out today and I took a "guest" out, First set called in a pair and he took the first shot on the broadside female with his .204 Lazer ( not red lazer but green) 32 gr hyper velocity straight as a string bullet. Every called in coyote he's shot with that .204 Lazer has dropped like a rock.  :chuckle: :chuckle: Anyway after he dumped her (like a rock mind you, 32 gr too like a lazer) the second coyote took off over the ridge so I used a distress and back over the ridge came the male and I put him down. Sometimes I wonder if it's fair to take advantage of their instinct to do so. On another set while calling I saw 4 coyotes get up from laying down in the grass and slowly just walk away, seemed like they weren't interested in what I was offering but like they got tired of being disturbed from their nap and went to a quieter place. Coyote hunting is one of my most favorite types of hunting, but I think I'm about ready to hang it up until next year and let them have a little rest time before they have their pups. Also need to reacquaint myself with my family who may or may not have noticed my 6 month absence every weekend!! :chuckle: Anyway sage rats, ground squirrels and rockchuck season is here so it's time to start gearing up for them.

P.S We always give each other the business on their "caliber" of choice for coyotes and even a guest is fair game, and he sure got his fair share today. Doesn't really matter which caliber it is we can always give them cr@p about it, I'm just glad he wasn't shooting a .17 today  :rolleyes: .

Big10 and T-bone went one way and Ol'Dan and I went the other way. Not much responding to the calls so we went to the spot and stalk method. Saw a pair laying in the sun on the south side about 800 yds so we made a big circle. We where able to get within 275 yds, started to call to get them closer. Those dogs are so lazy in this warm weather they only came 5 yds closer before they sat down and looked at us. Ok time to shoot, dog down. Did miss one earlier at 312 yds.  :dunno:

I went out this morning to go shed hunting, i decided to pack along my .204 and just a single call incase i felt the need to do a stand. Well the itch got the best of me around 7:30 1hour into shed hunting. It was absolutely freezing this morning and it started really getting to me 10 minutes into the stand, well i had a coyote coming in directly downwind from me and stopped about 200 yards away. I set up for the shot but couldnt stop shivering. And when i went to pull the trigger i physically couldnt pull the trigger, i even had gloves on. Well i sent a shot out and missed the easy coyote. I was pissed and decided to go farther out and do another stand. I set up and called and had a coyote show itself right off the bat he came into 378 yards and bedded down. I was still freezing at the time and it took forever to range the distance he was at, but finally did. I let one go and that was the end of it. .204 ruger. 32 gr vmax did the job 378 yards.

1 more for SBA,  Ol'Dan and I went out today.  This guy tried to give us the slip but then he decided to stop at 144 yds and I let him have it. After 10 am we couldn't call a dog in, seemed they were just too lazy to get out of their beds. Did have a pair interested, looked like the male wanted to come in but the female had some doubts and left. And as a dutiful soon to be father, he decided he better follow along.

OK - OK   Here you go  Falfire.  Went out at 4:45 pm, into some winter wheat  stubble which is really loud when it hasn't rained for a few days.  Saw just this young males head sticking up at 70 yds. so I decided to shoot offhand (that was stupid).  Went back to my pickup, grabbed my gear, walked back to the area where he had kicked in the after burners and called him in to 270 yds. All this happened within a 20 minute time span.  Oh and if you look real close, I have on my natural camo clothes as well.  How's that for LUCK ---- Dude   8)(http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac73/grwhite76/coyotes002.jpg?t=1266897133)

I should have put another one in him.  I guess I still have some instinct from when I was selling hides.  Damn....fatal shot but hit him deep, just, going to be a long night for him.

Took a shot at this one at 130yds and he ran like a bat out of hell.  I ran around the corner to see if I could get another shot but never saw him.  So I sat there kicking myself for another 15mins for missing.  Before I left I went and glassed the canyon one more time (Where he had run) and found him laying about 150yds from where he was shot!  Funny, I have a hard enough time finding them when I know they're down.  I've never had one run after the 7mm "brought the pain".

well i went out today to check out a new property to try and hunt and had enough time to set up for a last minute stand just before dark. well i had these two coyotes come in separately on the same stand. the first one came in the first minute of the stand and i shot him at 8 yards, the next one came in about 5-10 minutes later and i shot him at about 80 yards. sorry about the picture clarity, cell phone picture.

i went out again this morning to make a quick morning hunt before class. i must be going to the perfect spots for a stand because this one came bombing in on the first sequence. he came in to about 150 yards and then just started barking at me. i didnt let him get any closer than that, and let the 55 gr vmax do the dirty work. the real challenge this mornin was the wind, it was a pain.

1 for SBA, This guy startled the heck out of me, I was calling in a draw and watching my downwind side and in front, after my first call I waited for about 5 minutes and called again, after about 4 minutes went by this guy howled about 25 yrds from me upwind. I turned my head and he was sitting down watching some deer moving about 280 yds down the hill. I soon as I saw him raise his head to howl again I turned and he cut loose with few barks and pointed his head straight up and started a long howl, I put him down about 2 octaves before he hit his high note. :chuckle:  He was really furred up nice but no more room in my freezer.

You guys are keeping on em.  Part of me is happy to have this over, part of me will miss it.  I was stuck most of the day on kids duty.  I had to listen to Swag all in jitters talking about 8 yotes he called in one stand.  (Oh I'm not supposed to bring that up)  I think he is still out there tracking blood.  I got two females, one was Friday morning in the rain and the one this morning.

Today was a fair day, VarmintV and I had 3 respond this morning and one failed to make the great escape. She stopped for a quick look back at 113 yards and I sent the 110 V-Max in that nano second of time and ended her journey.

Later on we redirected our efforts to another great place but just never could get anything to respond and only heard one coyote waaaaay off in the distance.

This afternoon we decided to just walk out across from my place were we always hear howls and Lordy, this afternoon was no different. Within only a few minutes we spotted one dog and put the sneaky on it. We found a good place to set up and I let loose with a few howls and not 20 seconds go by when VV spots 3 coming right at us about 300 yards out. I let out a couple of pup yips and they were now within killing range. We glassed up on two but I couldn't shoot due to a rock directly between me and two of the three. So as I squirmed around trying to get on one of the two standing on the right side of the rock, VV had one dead to rights on the other side of the rock. They must have spotted my movement and turned to go away but one walked in front of the rock giving me a clear kill. I sent the 110 V-Max soaring from the 6.8 and connected directly in the back of the males head dropping it DRT at 128 yards.

If tomorrow works out, we hope to end this years hunt with great success and sense of pride knowing that maybe we saved at least one fawn or calf from the death grip of a coyote.

It's been allot of fun and most certainly a lot of work. Calling coyotes is a great challenge, killing them is even tougher at times. VarmintVentilator and I work hard for these dogs as many others here do. We never take opportunity shots, as we much prefer hunting the ultimate hunter on their terms. We have crawled around on allot of dirt and rocks on our bellies to get the perfect shot. Darn near froze our toes and fingers off waiting and calling hoping that coyote a mile out would soon appear within the kill zone. Others came in so fast and so close we never had a chance to shoot. But during it all the rush has never faded and the anticipation of doing it all over again tomorrow just continues to push this old man harder and harder.   

Thanks to Big10guage and Bullelk for allowing me to be part of thier team it has been a tremendous honor and a once in a lifetime experience. I just wish all of the coyotes I poked holes in had been recovered our team numbers would have looked much better. Both VV and I had a bad case of JUJU going on where we either couldn't hit what we were looking at or they just flat refused to die. In any case thanks to you both for allowing me to participate and without question I can speak for VV, he truely had a great time also.


Killed this AM at 113 yards.

Gringo is right about the contest ending, kinda glad to see it over but will miss it,  Hopefully will get out tomorrow for a few hours, then have to wait until next year. just hope I don't go into withdrawals from the lack of Coyote Crack.

Well ended my last hoorah with wiseoldyote today and only saw one coyote in 5 stands.  I gotta say, wiseoldyote is a damn coyote wisperer!  And he put the smack on the Rock Chucks and blew my ears out with his 22-250 (sweet gun).  'Twas a good day.

Can't hunt tomorrow 'cause I have to go to Seattle for two days.  I'm gonna bring my howlers and have some fun during my nighttime smoke breaks!  (Any residents of Ballard, don't shoot!)

Thanks THD for letting me on!  I was hoping as much as I hunt that I could have produced more, but oh well.

2 for SBA. Took a guest out "Hambone"  :chuckle:, started early today cause the dogs around here seem to just quit responding around 10am. First set we called 2 in but the female didn't really want to commit so the male kept hanging up on us. Finally coaxed it in to 157 yards and I put it down. It was a nice male in the low 30lb range, the female was long gone. Couple more sets were dry Then we just got up from a 24 min set and didn't get 20 yds when I spotted a coyote coming to the call over the top of a ridge. We hunkered down real quick but he knew something was up. I knew it was quite a way out there but since it was the last day I thought what the heck. Didn't have time to range him but figured about 360 yds. I lowered my bipod and got in the prone position and thru the scope I saw that it was starting to leave. I gave him a bark and when he stopped I put the crosshairs 4 inches over his shoulder and pulled the trigger.  He went down but then back up spinning and jumping, Had to finish what I started with another shot. Ranged it afterwards between 424 and 437 yds. Ended up being my last coyote for the year. It was a great contest this year and as MtnMuley said, Congrats to all for putting a lot coyotes down.

It didn't dawn on me till after church today that today was the last day.  So I called up Swag and we decided to give it one last run.  First stand called 4, no shots fired.  Swirling wind is my only answer.  Second stand Swag couldn't take it anymore and decided that the dog were were having a staring match with wasn't coming any closer.  At 354 yards, ol' Wile E lives on to tell the story.   5 dogs seen in 2 stands.....very nice....all others stands were dry.  Did pick up an "opportunity" dog.  He must have thought FALFire was around.  :chuckle:

Anyway...one last female...

Well, today was quite a day, absolutley beeeutiful with a light breeze blowing from the east presented us a cool sunny morning as the sun slowly peered over the horizon and the dogs were singin' from hilltop to the valley floor.

VarmintV and I started out at dawn but sometimes even on the best of days things just don't go well. So we came in early so he could go to church. I grabbed up one of my wifes fresh baked brownies and a quick swig of hot coffee then switched up rifles, putting the 6.8 away I grabbed up the Savage 308. Somehow I was able to talk my wife into tagging along with me. We only have to walk a very short distance to be in some very good hunting ground, so out the door we went.

We walked about a mile and setup on a rock bluff overlooking a nice draw letting things kind of calm down for about 15 minutes or so we listened to a woodpecker pounding away on a nearby tree. We watched the geese lifting off from the pond only a 1/2 mile away, we glassed several of the local mulies meandering through the trees, what a morning.

I started things off with a good long howl, then a few more along with a couple of yips to get the attention of anything with fur and paws. After about 10 minutes my wife spots movement several hundred yards out, through the binos we confirm two coyotes and they are headed our way.

Minutes later I switch over to a few pup yips and before long these two have covered a fair amount of ground in short order. I go silent and whisper to my wife if she would like to try her hand at one of these dogs, surprisingly, she agreed. So I set her up behind the Savage 16 and told her to wait until she has a standing shot if at all possible.

Now I switch up to my little blue coaxer and watch as they continue coming our way and reassuring my wife to take her time but get up on glass and be ready. They round this small rock outcropping and one stops behind some brush not offering a shot. I laser the one I can see and whisper 89 yards get ready. I call out again with the coaxer and the male appears from behind the rocks and trots up to 78 yards and looks back at his mate. I whispered to my wife do you have him, she said yes, I said take him when it feels right.

 As I watched the young male through the binos, the 308 roared to life sending the 125gr Speer TNT spinning with full force at a chrono'd 3100 FPS, smashing through fur and splattering on the rocks behind dumping the young pup where he stood. The female turned and ran for dear life never looking back I was so pumped, just like the day when she killed her first deer a couple of years ago, she is pretty darn good behind the trigger, must be all the excellent training I gave her  :IBCOOL:

Here is a photo of the pup she shot, it really don't matter if it gets in the count for SBA, but it was a test for her and I and it seemed to come together at the moment. I guess patience and good calling really does make a difference some of the times. VarmintV are still shaking in our boots after being almost trampeled the other day when two came screaming into us only to stop at 15 feet for a quick stare down then a fast boogie exit stage left.

Here is my bride and the 78 yard coyote....she makes me proud.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v85/FALFire/2-19-2010dogandelk096.jpg?t=1267414789)

Later on this afternoon VarmintV and I went back to the same general location and we spotted one dog at 416 yards but just couldn't get him to commit. All we had was a Foxpro E-caller and only used a couple of howls as the night drew to a close. Nothing for either of us ending todays hunt with a spectacular sunset indicating a final hunt of this seasons contest.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v85/FALFire/2-19-2010dogandelk099.jpg?t=1267415217)

Again I would like to thank Big10guage and Bullelk for their kindness in allowing VarmintV and I the opportunity to hunt with such a class act. I want to congratulate all those that really put forth the effort to call and kill coyotes, my hat is off to each and everyone of you. Great job guys  :rockin: maybe we can do this again with you all next year.

Till then, happy callin'

I wont even go into the embarrassment of the last week, lets just say it hasn't been the best for me :'( but fantastic for the coyotes...

You guys put on a hell of a show, the SBA's are some of the most hard working dedicated yote hunters I have ever had the opportunity to compete with.  I would say that I have a new respect after seeing the time & hard work that every one has put in.

I was so exited & proud to have the "Opportunity" to be included in this derby, & compete along side a group of individuals who have a passion for a sport that I have loved for years. Embarrassed by my performance at something that I used to be fairly good at.  (pitiful!!!!! )  :hunt2:
I am sad but also extremely relieved that it is finally over.  I am extremely exited for next year, thanks again for the opportunity..

Thanks Big10, yep she's a keeper all right. I'm sure VV will testify to the roast beef, mashed potato and gravy dinners or even the spaghetti dinners ready for us when we return from a days hunt. Not to mention the french toast, bacon and egg breakfasts she prepares for me before I head out the door with you know who :rolleyes:

After 28 years of marriage it just keeps getting better. VV and I watched her kill her first mulie buck at 189 yards with a rifle she had never fired before, that was an unforgettable day. You can see the trickle of blood on the bucks neck where she planted the 95gr Nosler BTip from my 243WSSM AR15.

Man, 495yds, in the right eye, out the left ear.  Sun shines on a dog's ass some days.....  Got it on video too, sun really caught the brain matter misting.  But, I don't have a firewire port so I can't upload.   :'(

So I finally got this video uploaded and on Youtube, I would like my .5 points now.   :chuckle:

Video quality kinda sucks.  The muzzle of the gun was about 6" away from the camera so it distorted and dropped a few frames right after the hit.  And my friend has a swearing fit after the shot, so sorry about that (Don't watch at work).

I "gave" one to Swag.

Man, for a guy whose is so generous, you sure spent allot of time staring at the coyote. :rolleyes:  But I do agree let's get to it, there is no time like the present.  :mgun:

You are such a little lurker  :chuckle:  And yes, that was a gift.  Hopefully we can get some guys to start lining a few up, going out every few weeks to keep "sharp".

Yep, give me a call.  I figure if we post a few pics maybe we can get some of the SBA boys out of hibernation.

Well I never did stop hunting them, I just quit walking out and taking pics.  Haven't seen one in about a week, but I think that will change when this moon gets smaller.

Wiseoldyote and I tried a few sets down here last sat night & sunday.  Saw about 5 at night, but once they were IDd as yotes they were gone.

4 stands this morning, dogs called every stand.....I wasn't shooting, handed off my AR to my brother and had a buddy.  I was hand calling with some pup distress.

First stand hard charger from half a mile out, stopped at 500 yards and went down wind.....busted

Second stand, buddy saw flashes thru the sage of at least one adult and a pup, maybe 70 yards, got down wind....busted

Third stand, 10 seconds into calling a dog comes out of the draw at 100 yards and stops.  1 down.

Fourth stand, 10 seconds into calling one shooter had a bedded yote stand up 60 yards from him, he shoots, I keep calling.  Had some other dogs barking quite a ways out, mixed up some more pup distress with a challenge bark or two.....never came.  Found blood on first dog but never retrieved.

Sounds like a good day.   8)

I didn't hunt today, but I was out on the tractor for about 10 hrs.  I saw one 'yote cross my path at about 8:00AM, I kept going until I saw him standing halfway up a hill, shut off the tractor and grabbed the rifle.  Of course he heard that and took off running.  I whooped at him, and he didn't even pause, but I knew he was gonna stop at the top of the hill.  Sure enough, he did, perfect profile shot propped up at a 45, 315yds out......and I miss!   :rolleyes:

Saw two more at about 3:00pm, but they didn't give me a chance.   :'(

I'm going out in the AM for a few sets........

We need a dedicated, tacked "Off Season" yote thread.....for the die hards  ;)

I just killed 5 a couple days ago and two a week ago. A rancher was having a problem with a few so I took care of the problem. I won't be doing much through the summer months though, I'm just way too busy around the ranch with getting new roofs and siding done and now a new deck. Today I just set up new R/R ties for target supports and building new steel swinger dingers at 200 and 300 yards.

Sweet, I want to do that in this canyon here at the ranch (out to 1K), but I don't know how to weld.   :chuckle:

Good to hear you're getting some time to whack dogs!

I really needed the break away from work and projects around here. It was good to get out for a couple of hours during some down time waiting on other stuff to happen. Today will be spent installing two new doors in the pool house, servicing my tractor, tilling the garden and taking down an old car port, then I'll put about 3 hours on the tractor mowing the pasture. Should be a pretty simple day.................for once.

Well, as usual, I had too much crap going on around the house to get out today, maybe on my next day off.  I did have an interesting encounter with a badger though  :chuckle:

Anyone else thinking that 2011 coyote madness is less than a month away?

I assume there will be one?

Went out today before work and killed one female. Got home from work around 5:30, after dinner went back out and called in a double, shot both but only killed one DRT, the other won't make it thru the night, he is hit hard but I wasn't chasing after him, much too late. All taken with 55gr Noslers from a 223 AR and all under 300 yards.
They are sooooo stupid and call up easy  :chuckle:.

 Can't wait till October.

How do you join Coyote Madness ? Can a individual be his own team since I live so far away from anyone ?
My business cards say, " GUTPILE VARMINT CONTROL"

It's a good question of if we'll do it.....but I will say, I haven't seen hardly any dogs this summer.   Seriously, I see a few tracks, but have seen maybe half a dozen in 4 months!

But it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it started Nov 1.  Big10 is going to work on his 30 point cat calling.....


BTW, I have some suggestions as well.  I think the points (should we do it again) need to be higher for the more primitive weapons.  I think a bow kill in E. Wa is tougher than a normal kill in Western Wa.

I do think this might be a moderator issue.  We kept em busy last year  :chuckle:....that, and the perception thing.

BTW, FALfire, post your pics!  I'd like to see em!

After you were through with them last winter what was left probably packed up and left!   :chuckle:
