Title: Bragging Rights
Post by: 204chucknorris on November 28, 2011, 11:02:10 PM
Bragging Rights! This area is to share your coyote hunts and frustrations as since November 1 St I have been going through withdrawals from not seeing enough coyote hunting stories/pics. So if you have some,  post your pics and stories so as to motivate us less fortunate coyote hunters this year to get out and work harder. I would add some photos but like I said less fortunate. Fire in the hole.

No photos (too graphic anyways) but I nailed one in the noggin at 340 yards with my .300 win mag a couple of weeks ago and one with my daughter's .243 at 250 yards this weekend, both from the porch.

48 stands and 0 yotes. I'm on a cold streak, to say the least. I've seen yotes every time I go out. Just can't get it done.  Finishing my coffee rite now, and going out to do 6 more stands.
I love this sport.  :chuckle:

Swag and I Thanksgiving morning did 5 stands, called in 6 dogs but only got 3 killed.  Gonna try and put a stand or two in this evening on some new ground.

Well just planned my vacation for the last two weeks of December so I am planning spending the majority of it trying like hell to add stories/ pics to this area. In the mean time is no one hunting? I am sure theirs been some fur flying somewhere!

Made 2 stands tonight.  First one had a dog hang up at 268 yards but was skyline.  He stayed there for about 5 min and left.  Second stand a bust.

54 stands ( I went out that same morning & night did 6 more that day). In 15 diffrent Locations.  :chuckle:

I think I might know my mistake.  Can't wait to get out sunday, and start off the month of Dec, the rite way.  Got a few more new locations I still havn't hit. 

I'll update it on my ADVISE thread.

I might as well post one or two of these here, the first is a fantastic example of how much better the Ar-10 works for me when it comes to anchoring dogs to the ground.  168 gr A-max to the back of the head dose have some negitive effect on the pelts...

The second is a picture of my first red fox.... I can’t even begin to explain how exited I was to see this little guy in the cross hairs.  This has got to be one of the most gorgeous predators I have ever taken.  He is going off the taxidermist today....

Good job on the fox! What part of the state was that from? (Not asking for your spot) I've killed 6. And gotten my brother and buddy each one. I get way more excited seeing them come in instead of a yote. Well boys I Tryed posting a pic from today but it won't show the whole pic. Not sure why.  So ill brag about the dog before and the fox I got my bro in november.
Title: Re: Bragging Rights
Post by: Swag on December 07, 2011, 06:03:40 AM
Thanks guys, I am really proud of that one...
You are right Falfire he is looking pretty beat up... I really should have paid more attention to the fact I was using the ar-10.  It was a 60yrd shot as he was trotting off & that rifle is zeroed at 250 yards, it was a little high, but there was no follow up or looking for him either..  He went straight to the ground.... Mavrick, I am in the lower Columbia basin.  I have seen pictures of them taken down by the river & heard quite a few stories but this is the first one I have ever seen...  I was especially surprised to see him up in up away from the river.
  I have a feeling I will be looking allot closer in hope’s of finding another one.   I have a buddy that is very frustrated that I was able to harvest this fine specimen. He is an "OKAY" predator hunter :hello:,  & I was  only a short distance  from his house when I took this fox, so he is eager to get out & prove that he has the skills to do the same.   He seems to think I got lucky, & I would have to agree.  But I have harvested a fox & he hasn’t…..  :chuckle: :chuckle:

O.k I hit it really hard today ..went up around MT.Baker where I thought i would have a chance at a bobby but after countless set ups and walking my butt off I tried one more spot and I was calling for about 10 min .When I saw 2 dang nice ones running down the logging road which is gated and no one has been there in months So Let them get about 100 yrds when all the sudden the wind changed and they did a 360 and headed back up the way they came from So I took a deep breath as the lead dog hit the crosshairs I squeezed and all I saw legs and lots of hair flipping around in the snow  :chuckle: :dunno: I jacked out the shell and pulled up on the other one which was pushing 200 or better and squeezed again to watch the bullet hit right in front of it ...dang an inch lower it would of been behind the head  :bash: A coyote is the only animal I do not get pi$$ed when I miss but nock on wood I do not miss many  :chuckle: :tung: Well this is another dandy and I will be honest with ya they DO NOT GET MUCH NICER THAN THIS ON THE WETSIDE  :tup:

I think that bobbing and weaving is in the DNA of the dogs out here.  Seems they don't run a straight line anymore.  Sometimes I think I'm better off shooting a round in the dirt to scare them into it  :chuckle:

VarmintVentilator, that thing is awesome... I called the taxidermist last night to see what the possibilities were of getting a mount similar to yours & he told me that mine was a little to tore up for that...  :bash: :bash:So I guess I will have to find another one...
Title: Re: Bragging Rights
Post by: VarmintVentilator on December 08, 2011, 09:08:49 AM
Swag, that really sucks, it's hard to keep from tearing those little critters up to bad with a bullet.  Hope you get another one.  This one of mine is the only fox I've ever seen on the ranch, but I didn't like him walking around my house and other buildings looking for his meal.  (chickens, kittens and such.)

Yeah 60grain v -Max's. I was using 69smk's  but unless you hit bone they don't do damage. However they shot awesome and when they hit something hard-massive carnage. So now the 60v-max will be the load. I would like to try some Berger MPG's?
