I bet that farmer was happy you came by. Was the cow a coyote kill?No, this cow succumbed to the frigid cold. The rancher said it was pneumonia and put it down. I asked him to move it out to 100 yards knowing the yotes would be there to clean up. I only killed the 1 from the cow. The yotes were easy to see at night against the snowy ground.

Nice work!I was shocked at the lack of quail and the amounts of feathers from coyote and hawk kills. Way too many coyotes over there.

Dozens of deer fawns owe you a debt of gratitude.I should've bagged a few more.... I spooked a couple and missed a couple 400+ yards out. There's plenty more out there for sure

Was this all on one farm? Nice job. I'm heading over this weekend.6 out of 7 were within 115 yards of the bunkhouse. The bunkhouse was the perfect blind. We spent a lot of time during the day looking for upland birds and saw a few yotes but saw way more while in the warm bunkhouse. 5 of the 6 were shot when it was dark, early morning or evening.

In .224's I like the 52gr Speer HP varmint bullet, it seems to work at all speeds from 222 Rem. to 22-250. I've also had good luck with 40gr NBT's out of my 22-204 at about 3950fps, pretty much my go to rig for pelt hunting.
Looks like you had a great time, were you hunting with lights or just using ambient light on the snow? Back in MN and WI we did a lot of night hunting on Moonlit nights on the snow.

I'm seeing the same thing, coming across lot's of turkey carcasses too. The quail are doing OK but should be bigger flocks as I've got tons of cover and feed. I tried quail distress calls but didn't get a bite. Nothing beats a carcass on the ground though :tup:
I want to set up a driveway monitor alert so I know when to look out the window :chuckle:
