After spotting a coyote on the backside of a swamp and only carrying my pistol. I setup in the timber. Downstream in the outlet of the swamp. Tried lip squeeking it for 20 minutes. No response. So circled around to see the coyote hunting in the backside for mice and such. After he put on a show attacking the ground he bedded down. So lip squeaked again from 200 yards. He instantly came charging in. But I had a flock of mallards about 40 yards in front of me. On a full run the ducks caught his attention and he made a full on jump after a drake mallard. Missed by inches and landed directly into the swamp. Came out defeated. And sat down. I started lip squeaking again and he came out of the brush at 35 yards. Then turned and crossed the swamp again. I saw him headed back toward my first stand so I took off. Set up with a shooting lane along the creek for about 20 yards. Sure enough in less than a minute he shows up trotting down the trail. I stopped him at 15 to 20 yards with the pistol poking out of the ferns. Boom. Swing and a miss. But it gets better. That little sucker ran right at me. I emptied 2 more shots with him running full speed at me missing both shots as the gun didn't feed another round. Pulled the trigger at 5 steps to a click. As he ran right by and into the woods. Crazy fun experience but wow my shooting was poor. And even though that coyote was running straight for me that bugger was fast and hard to keep up with the aim on it. If only I had a shotgun or rifle he was handed too me. Fun experience and did my best to put one down but he lives for another day.
Another target aquired on camera 3 out of the last 6 nights. If he becomes less nocternal I may target him.

I was splitting firewood at a friends house next to his wood shed and a coyote popped out of the bushes at the edge of the yard about 20 yards from me. I casually got up from the log splitter (but left it running for background noise/distraction) and walked away from him to my car where I had a taurus millenium pro 9mm. My friend was in the yard and I asked if I could shoot it and he said sure. My car was about 100 yds from the coyote. The coyote was still at the edge of the yard just watching us. I walked a large arc around the upper end of the yard until the woodshed was between me and the coyote. Then I sprinted to the woodshed and snuck around to the edge of it. I poked around the corner with the pistol aimed and ready. The coyote was standing broadside at about 20 yards. He looked at me as I poked around the edge and I squeezed off a shot. BANG! Coyote spun a 180 and disappeared in the bushes. No sign of being hit. I'm pretty sure it was a clean miss. It was a fun attempt though.

Imagine if that was a bear charging you! Click is a bad sound . What kind of gun?
It was a Ruger 9mm. Not my typical carry when in bear country as I usually would have a 357 revolver. I can say it has never malfunctioned like that before out of thousands of rounds. This was a new ammo that I hadn't even made it to the range to test as stores haven't had my original option in stock. So a lot of my faults for carrying that ammo. But even so it gave me an uneasy feeling having that happen for the first time. But another thing I think I may have done was limp wristed the shot trying to catch up to it coming at me.
But all that aside it was a fun little side adventure.

Yes! You're the first person I've had recognize it. This one is my wife's rifle. It used to have a blued barrel with iron sights, and a scope mounted also. It shot terrible.... ~5" groups at 100 yds. I re-barreled it on my lathe, and it turned out to be a good shooter. =)
Here's the last group I shot on paper with it. 3 shots at 60 yds with 75gr Vmax loaded to about 3000 fps.

I've really enjoyed your posts but I'm wondering if you ever get any sleep :tup:
Thanks. I do tend to run short on sleep. I have 3 young kids and work full time as well. It's not easy jumping out of bed in the middle of the night and scanning the yard when the driveway alarms go off. But I've lost enough chickens and ducks and cats over the years that i'm paranoid that if I don't get up and check, that could be the coyote or racoon that is about to come kill a few of my animals.
I don't do much hunting besides rats and coyotes. So it also gives me a purpose to use my rifles that otherwise would be sitting un-used in the safe. With 3 young kids I don't get to go target shooting much anymore. I also enjoy editing and sharing the videos of the shots. I'm glad to hear my posts are appreciated.
Oh, and I got another coyote last night. #10 :rolleyes: I'll try to get the video edited and uploaded tonight.

Thanks. I'm happy with the Sierra gameking hpbt 55gr bullets. For the past few years i've used mostly 50 grain v-max's. I have had many good bang-flop shots with the v-max's, but i've also had a few where I hit coyotes in shoulders and the bullets splashed on the surface and didnt' penetrate and the coyote ran off. These Sierra gamekings definitely stay together and penetrate better. I think this is the 6th coyote I've shot with the sierra gamekings. The coyotes don't seem to drop "dead in their tracks" quite as quickly as when they get hit with a good shot placement with a 50 grain v-max, but when I hit them in a shoulder or other less-than-ideal location, they do pile up within 20' of where they were hit.
I read that the Sierra HPBT gamekings have low BC and are affected by wind quite a bit, so they are not a great long range bullet. But most of my shots are under 100 yds so that's not a factor for me. If i'm hunting in a spot where I expect to take shots out to 200 or 300 yds I'll probably grab a box of v-max's.
The coyote I shot a few weeks ago that was standing broadside on a dirt pile when I shot it (The video is on here), The bullet passed through the coyote and went into an alder tree behind it. I found the bullet entry hole on the tree. It was a small clean hole that looked like I had shot it point blank with a .22lr. I took my knife and tried to dig the bullet out of the tree. I dug about 1" into the tree and then started scraping lead off the back of the bullet. I gave up because I didn't want to kill the tree. The main takaway, is that on a 60 yd broadside shot through the vitals, the bullet passed through the coyote and didn't hardly expand at all (if at all). The coyote fell dead about 5' from where it was standing when it was hit. Based on past experience, if I had made that shot with a 50 grain v-max: 50% chance bullet would not have exited, 50% chance there would have been a 4"+ blowout hole on the backside.
Overall I'm happy with the performance of these Sierra 55grain HPBT gamekings. I suspect they will work great for you too. I look forward to hearing your success stories with them.

Birdshooter - What is your camera setup? I've got a red light and was wondering if I could get it set up like that.
I've used a couple different camera setups. For a few years I was using an infrared camera scope kit called "Megaorei 2". It has an infrared/full color daytime(with a switch to toggle between the two) camera that mounts to the back of the scope. There is a wire that connects to a LCD screen on top of the scope. This model has a micro SD card slot and a button on the back of the screen to start and stop video recording. I then use an infrared illuminator with it. The kit comes with one that works ok out to about 30-50 yds. With a good aftermarket illuminator you can see much further. ~150 yds with Odepro. ~300 yds with Sniperhoglights Coyote Cannon. I posted a picture of this setup in the second post on the first page of this thread. These kits can be a bit finicky to get the camera aligned with the scope. And some scopes have IR blocking lens coatings that make them not work well with IR. Cheapest ($30-$80) scopes seem to be best for me.
All my night coyotes until post #64 on page 5 of this thread were with the Megaorei 2 Digital NV setup. I recently got a thermal scope, Pulsar Trail 2 XQ50 LRF. All my recent shots have been with that one.
Red light might work ok with the megaorei 2, but a IR diode illuminator paired with an IR sensor will work much better. Red light won't produce anything similar to the thermal.

So last night I drove them over, we had dinner, got all 3 kids playing peacefully, and then my inlaws gave me a thumbs up to go do some coyote calling in the back yard. I made a 30 minutes stand. Called in a pair at the 20 minute mark. Dropped one. No shot on the 2nd. I was happy to get some hunting in, kids were happy to see grandparents, wife was happy for some quiet time, grandparents were happy to see grandkids. Got back home at 10:30pm and transfered the 2 sleeping kids to bed. Late night made it tough to get up at 5am for work, but it was worth it.

Just got another. The way the alarms rang it surprised me, I wasn't expecting to see a coyote. #25 for the year.Nice shooting!
Love it when they flop without hardly a wiggle.
This one didn’t do anything but drop. I think the bullet went through the spine right below the skull.

Sounds like you are doing a good job of keeping the population of coyotes thinned out in your neighborhood. Nice work.

My 11 year old has been pushing to learn how to hunt. I decided to build him a coyote gun this winter and hopefully get him consistent next year. We got a Bergara B14 HMR 22-250. I am an avid backpacker and I am stoked that my son is getting old enough to want to get outdoors with me.
I appreciate any advice and hopefully I can talk with some locals about hunting on the wetside.

Lots of coyote hunting how to videos on YouTube etc.
Calling and baiting are effective methods.
They are pretty nocturnal. NV or thermal and hunting at night can be productive
Have fun and enjoy the whole process with your son.
:tup:
Lots of threads on here that can help too.
