Congrats! What's that green stuff? :)
That's the yard being on the westside. No snow like the eastside folks.Lol shoulda skinned him in the field. Instead carried that joker out. Although I wish I was hunting the snow. But when our big push hit it went from zero to two plus feet. Then straight back to zero. Little much for me to be blazin in so waited till it cleared. But January seems to be my most productive month every year for yotes.

Had a load worked up for my buddy to use in the .243. Max load 55 gr. Nosler shots bullets. Had him go back to the spot thinking there was one more possibly in the area. Sure enough I got word coyote down first thing in the morning. Not the last one in the area either. He said there is another. So 3rd one down in the spot. One more to go. Until another one appears. :chuckle: think the 243 was a little over kill. Westside coyote numbers seem to be high right now.
Nice, you say a little over kill? naw, the skin is still there! just needs a lot of sewing. I remember the term "Killed it a lot deader than it needed to be. 243 can be tuff. Like in your other post I use a 250 with 52 grn hornaday BTHPM, usually less that an inch on exit, easy to sew. I shot my first Bob going way at about 20 feet with 300 WM 180 grn, back of the head, out through the face, it was a little ruff. Same round on a coyote at 292 (I would like to brag and say 300 yard, but that wasn't the case) dead center lung broad side zipped straight through, about as much a the 250.

I can't get them to come in close enough when I'm calling, but they come back at night to snoop around and mid-day to take my livestock when I'm not looking.
Using the Icotec GC230 with the decoy, Ambush brand coyote lure. Being as careful as I can about scent, camo, and positioning. Still nothing despite having them around all day. Been calling them in the morning and evening one hour before until around dark.
Welcome any advice!

Anyone have any tips for getting them in a woodlot? I've never had to hunt / de-predate them before.

Put out a bait pile and put a cell camera on it. So you know when there on the bait and whack them.

This was a quick weekend hunt. But ended up being an amazing dream hunt for coyotes. Seen 15 total between 2 of us. Spot and stalk, calling, etc. Everything came together. Amazing pelts. Shot at 6. Smoked every one of them. Few other close opportunities. Kept things exciting the whole trip. Could'nt have been any better.:yeah:

Coyote hunting is addicting. With bobcats closing soon will probably keep focus on new yote spots for future trips for now. Had close calls on a 2 bobcat and a cougar this season but they snuck out on me. The predator numbers were at an all time high this season for me. With the yotes providing the action gonna try to have more outings with those in the near future.

Nice. I have noticed this year the males have had kinda poor coats too them but the females have had beautiful hides. Anyone notice similar with the coyotes you've harvested? Wonder why that is.
The males I shot earlier in the year had really nice hides.

I don't like snakes either but I think it's still pretty cold for snakes to be out or I just haven't seen any yet.

I've uploaded 1 this year. They don't do well on Youtube so I don't waste time filming and editing them anymore. I upload the few kill shots I film as "shorts" now.
What sort of calls are you guys using to bring them in? Rabbit distress or pup?
I don't call this time of the year.

50 yds with .243 and 75 gr v-max. Dropped dead in it's tracks. Didn't even twitch. I shot it broadside near the right shoulder. As seen in the photo, it didn't blow out the back side.
Post by: duckmen1 on May 27, 2022, 07:55:41 PM
Started the year off slow but in the last week and 1/2 alone my daughter has killed 5 and I’ve gotten 2. I think we are up to 12-14 so far. I love it when I get up to go to work and I find my Foxpro, 2 spent .243 cartridges and a picture of 2 dead coyotes sitting on the table where I put on my shoes. 🤣
Doesn't get much better than that.
We are at 12 for the season between february and march only. Took a break for other stuff going on. Can't wait to get back at it.
Number 7 for me for 2022.

Well, my daughter shot 2 more last week and I’ve killed another 5. My daughter said we are at 21 so far. I’ve got 2 scraggily looking yearlings that are becoming brave. There were 3 but I was able to jump off my tractor, run to the house and get one of them. Goin to try and call up the other 2 in the morning. Damn things are thick around here.Started the year off slow but in the last week and 1/2 alone my daughter has killed 5 and I’ve gotten 2. I think we are up to 12-14 so far.

I am just happy to see a handful of people getting a count on predators. Coyotes, bears, cougars, etc. Wish we would see more effort from people.

Absolutely! My comment was in jest. I encourage folks to get after it. It will make you a better shot, hunter and you'll learn new ground. Watch youtube videos on setup. I think it's more important than the calls.....

Saw another one 1/2 mile out. Grabbed the .223 and took off on the snowmobile. 200 yards click reload click reload click reload click.
dimpled the primer but no fire.
Decided to try to fire them again only option. Run the snow machine over the hill two more coyotes. One goes high one goes low. Aim at the low one click and it is gone.
Fire up the machine and go high. Reload click, reload click reload click
Three coyotes eight shots none actually fired.
