How do you practice shooting for coyote hunting

[Big10gauge]

Obviously more practice does one better.  Training the eyes and quickly getting into positions to get an accurate shot off are two important elements.  The most important factor to me, is having confidence in my gun.  Years ago, we'd have someone drive down a mtn road a couple miles and put out 5-6 balloons out 30 to 100 yds off the road at various spots of their choice.  Then he'd come back and grab the other guy who had no clue as to where the balloons were.  We used a 17hmr with a clip.  As soon as the shooter spotted a balloon, the driver would stop and shut off the rig.  The shooter would have to bail out as fast as he could, insert the clip, and get into position to pop the balloon.  This really improved the speed and ability of the shooter to get into a solid shooting position quickly.  This was fun to do in the summer, when there wasn't really a lot else hunting wise to do.  

That's the first time I ever heard of somebody practicing road hunting. I would imagine you would need to practice putting your coffee in a cup holder and the donuts back in the box too? 

Hey all in good fun.

That's bullsh*t  Big10!  Just because out styles differ a little.........   At least I left out: the box and beer and rest over the passenger side mirror...........      

Totally kidding for all serious folk.

Hell, when I was your age, it was HUNTING.  We'd drink and play cards all night, puke before we left camp, drive around drinking coffee all morning to wake up and switch to beer in the afternoon.  I could still hang a rifle out the window and whack a coyote at 200 yards - even after a half case of beer.  You just try to do that you coddled little SOB.

I check zero on my first coyote seen on stand.  It cost me two early this year, which is the first time that rifle has been off.  I just don't get much range time anymore, but I am very confident in my shooting abilities, and if I do miss I don't lose any sleep over it.

The sad thing is that when I talk to the old people around Forks that hunted back in the 70's and 80's.....this is pretty much how they described elk hunting way back then.

Ah, I was conceived in Forks when my dad was logging out there.  My mom said screw this, and we pulled up stakes and headed out of there before I was born, though.  It's probably where that thought above came from, though. 

No offense to all you Twilight f#(@ers.

Haha....Forks is defintely a different place.  Nearly everytime I drive through now I see 'vampires' walking around in their capes.  But at least  when I stop in at places I get to use my limited Spanish because nearly everyone I seem to run into out there doesn't speak English.

I work on calling, stand selection and set up it's not hard to shoot a coyote under 100yrds even easier under 20.  I use very low power scopes with very large FOV's and practice with them out to 300yrds just about anything under a 100 is a chip shot unless there is smoke coming off their feet then I don't mess with them and wait for a day that will put them in my lap.  If I don't shoot at one or spook it they usually can be called back as soon as the next day.
