1st kill (ever)
« on: August 17, 2008, 09:17:59 PM »
well i was out at a new spot, wind was OK.  started with mouse call, then tried distressed woodpecker. nothing.  then the wind started going all over the place, was thinking the spot went dead, so when it stabilized, about 30 min into it. i tried one last call at the area coyote pp distress, and bam this little guy ran out into the open not even a min or two into calling. and well at 75 yards it was game over.

hit him the the back, he got into the brush, i walked up to it he barked or wimped Adan i shot 2 more times. found him and well....






first kill ever of and game animal. so excited.   also just skulling him out cause his hide was toast on his back. took off a good chuck with my 30-06.  so they can be taken on the peninsula,  i know he was young.

nice, I got my first kill ever last spring, still have yet to go for yotes.

Nice one, might want to go a little smaller caliber though.

At least you know if you hit they won't go to far  :chuckle:
That's why it's called hunting and not killing.

Nice work.  Don't think that those other sounds weren't working.  You may have called him in from a long way off and the pup distress was what was being played at the moment it showed up.  You did it right though.  Keep it up.
