Coyote Madness III (Nov 1 - February 28)

[demontang]

Well I'm not sure what's close to you. I hunt some pretty heavy hunted coyotes and it realy cones down to being at the right place to get them. I drove into an area today that not to many rigs could go and it paid off for me.

Well, today turned into a pretty good score. My wife and I started out before light and she helped herself to 2 of these dogs which were posted earlier, then I brought her home so she could get started on turkey dinner fixin's.

I checked zero on my Remington 700 223 on my backyard range and took off for a little more action. I was able to take 3 of these dogs off of one ranch and 2 from another a couple of miles away.

Add 5 more to Sagebrush Assassins

Now that's what I call a Happy Thanksgiving.

FALfire,

Good lookin' mutts. They look like they are really light in color.

I should go over to the Okanogan. It's only 1 hour from the house. We don't have much snow up here like the rest of you seem to have gotten.

..Anybody have any ideas for a more productive area ? I don't want honey holes, just ideas. Have gun will travel.

Thanx,

The crew up at Swanson Lakes Wildlife Area would love to have more yotes taken off the place.  There are many square miles to hunt.  My effort there was not rewarded, but that is typical.

Way to go FalFire, Now that's some good calling and shooting.

Well today was a real crappy day from the start. I woke up late with a miserable migraine headache, found out my hunting gear had not dried from last nights washing to get all the blood out so that put me even further behind. Once I got where I was going I started walking off into the snow covered trail. About a 1/4 mile up I then discovered my ammo pouch, that I had just put on my rifle this morning, was left open and all my ammo dumped onto the ground while I was gearing up at the truck. So I walk back to the rig scrounge around in the snow and found most of my rounds and boogied back up the trail.

Walking uphill against a head wind of about 10-12 mph in 10 inches of snow to my first set I was busted by a dog out munching on a tasty morsel   

Saw a total of 4 dogs way to far off to shoot at and finally decided I was ready to head back to the ranch to get a bite of lunch and take a nap. I am still beat and sore from dragging out all those dogs from yesterday, I'm gettin' way to old for this crap

I know a gal down there that raises cattle. She butts up onto the Swanson Lake Wildlife Area. We went down there when they had the freezing rain and no power 2 years ago. We couldn't do squat, couldn't get around. Took a pot shot a 1 and missed.

[traildigger]

+ 3 SBA

It warmed up to a balmy 8 deg so went out by myself since BullElk and SBS had to work. Met a fellow Hunt WA member "Traildiggger" and have to thank him for busting thru the drifts for me even though he couldn't make it thru the last one. 

Called in male first set, watched him come in from about 600 yrds, He would come in about 150 yrds at a time and sit down and take a break and then come in some more. After coaxing him in to 253 yrds that was was close enough.

The double came in on a string about 30 yrds apart, I tried to stop them at 70 yrds but they just kept coming. Shot the back one then the front one. was over in about 3 seconds. Gotta love them ARs.

Big10, it was nice meeting you the other day.  We had a little luck up there.  We called in 1 coyote to about 800 yards, but couldn't get it to come in any closer.  Then, we jumped another one on our way to another set up.  Almost stopped just before that to call again, but thought we may be a little too close to our last set. (Guess not).  No luck on that one either.  We did end up getting one later on in the day though.  Just a little one, but it has good fur.  There is a TON of sign out there, tracks everywhere.  Hope to get out again soon.....Good job on the 3 you got that day.

First a group of three.  If we did not have another agenda these would have been in trouble.
