Checked the weather and theres a possibility of snow and lots of rain, so that killed that trip. Hearing some still but not seeing them. Seem to becoming a little call shy. Oh well a crappy day in the woods is still better than any day at work.

Post by: Suncrest Sniper on March 27, 2011, 07:45:12 PM: I had a nice big one run out in front of my truck Friday in the middle of the afternoon. I was a little slow on the gas so he made it clear just in time. This was about 6 miles down West Charles road on the Spokane County side of Long Lake. My wife bar tends at Farels's bar here in Suncrest and she says she hears em' just about every night when she closes. They are here but lots of places to lay low right now.

Myself, I usually leave them be till fall, unless there is an over abundance of them in one area. Or they get to close to the house. They help with the rodent population in the summer, at least in my area. :twocents:

Shooting the Hornady factory 58 gr moly-coated V-Max's in my "budget" (Stevens 200) .243. It grouped slightly over 1.5" at 200 yards. :tup:

Post by: Sumpnneedskillin on March 31, 2011, 12:50:49 PM: Saw 3 the other night all within about 5 minutes of each other on the way home. The next morning chased one down the road. Most yotes I've seen in a long while.

Post by: RemingtonMike on April 03, 2011, 12:29:06 AM: I got my first small game kill last Monday a small female, I just got done with a set of calls and was walking around the corner then about 60 yards in front of me was a coyote sitting in front of a mouse hole. I had a Remington .223 VSSF with some upgrades and I scored a perfect heart/lung shot, the 40 grain ballistic tip ripped right through the coyote, I get about 3700 FPS with that load.
