Coyote Madness Fall 08 - Winter 09

[Gutpile]

This thread has got me fired up big time. I think i'll head out once or twice next week and try my luck.

Well I gave it a go this morning. With the deer hunters still in the woods I didn't try any calling, just spot and stock. All I saw was three does. Did hear one howl though.

I got my coyote hunting pardners signed to the Forum(BullElk and Sagebrushstalker) and we went out today saw 10 only got 4 shooters, There was one coming in about 230 yrds or so and it looked like it was going to keep coming straight at us, it ran down to the bottom of the draw and I couldn't get my sights on it due to my bipod. It came out about 10 or 15 yrds to my right  I was busted, tried to turn my rifle to the right and it took off. We gave it a few warning shots but didn't connect. Anyway 3 coyotes down.Skinned out the top and bottom ones. The center one just didn't quite have the guard hairs yet. It was probably a 12 or 13 mile hike today and it's time for the hottub.  Hey do we need to post everytime or just at the end?

Nice! I went out today, but all I saw was a deer.

Good work Big10.  What happened to you today is the reason I went to shooting sticks.  The bipod just didn't give me much mobility.  It was great for propping the gun up, and I still prefer it if I am pointing the right direction, but the sticks are great for turning, running shots, and when you stand up to freehand a shot, your gun doesn't have too much weight on the front end.  Plus, with my bull barrel, bipod, and 50mm scope the rifle wanted to slide backwards off my shoulder when carrying on a sling.

NICE JOB BIG10 and crew.  Are you guys going to form your own team, or stick to the general forum bunch.  If so what do you want to be called.   NOPE, got to post em as you go.  Let me know and I'll get your points added up.  Nicely done.

Well cully and I went out on sat missed one and one down, a female that came to cullys mouth call like her ass was on fire. I barked to stop her, cully and I shot at the exact same time, sounded like 1 shot, down she goes. The best part of the day was when we called on a land owner with land posted ( hunting by writen perrmission only) at first he was hesitent to let us hunt , until we told him it was yotes we were after, then he says , well coyotes hell ya, day, night , 7 days a week, kill them all PLEASE. So we scored a couple hundred thousand acres of prime dog land. ever where we went there was dog scat every 30 feet and just an hour from home. dogs are goin to die.

Glad to see someone from the Tri-Cities is doing good, I went out today and went 0-4 on my stands.  I saw tons of fresh scat and tracks, but didn't call anything in.  I did see one coyote but it was on my way driving to my spot, it crossed the road ahead of me with his afterburners already on before I could stop.  Must have been shot at a few times by deer hunters.  I also saw a real nice mulie buck and some does.  Oh well next time I guess.

Spent most of my time trying to fill my deer tag, but did manage to see on dog, but was not fast enough to get a shot in the fog.  They were outside the house all night howling and answering me, but would not come in for a shot.....

Need to start taking pics deaddog.   Or I am going to start docking your points.

I went out this morning, First stand called in a nice sized dog using one of Rick's calls. It stopped and sat down at 208 yrds. The first round sent his way made him look behind him the 2nd round sent him packing. Bet he thought he stepped in a bees nest. Shot at a target and I was shooting 6 inches high at 200 yrds. Hmm which one of you guys was dinking with my scope? Oh well, probably going out tomorow

Well I guess we're going to have to start giving you all the 400yard shots so you won't have to hold over.
Me and Bullelk will have to take the closer shots
