Hunting & Fishing Cat Eater's

A guy told me he had Coyotes around running in his block Right in town in Residential neighborhood , So I went over & got this male with 220 grn. Subsonic, & walking on a small paved backyard Basketball court about 24:45 . Was Houses about 20 ft. Left & right on both sides of me . & the back yard had trees & a water area as the backstop . I got the shot with from the back porch with the Rifle/tripod & down angle shot about 55 yard .

Used ( Kitten in Distress ) call on remote . & about 45 minutes he came-in for a Cat snack, but got some Lead .

Yeah, they come right into town. Here in SW Fla. they snatch foo foo dogs right off the leash while people are walking them.

Nice job! We almost had our Yorkie taken off its leash by a big fox a year ago. OF COURSE it was the only time I didn't pack a pistol.

I really jumped fast on this opportunity to go into the backyard & call-in these Coyotes . This was a real treat .
That neighborhood was so quiet, that between the rain showers that I could hear a person asleep & snoring inside the house . Cats & skunks running everywhere .
@ Night when you get a tight little urban area with 'controlled Range area' . The versatility of the 30-221/BLK bolt action suppressed is pretty killer & that's where it shines . All you do is just Pre-document the subsonic Drop-chart, off/using the High-Vel POI impact zero your using for your normal high-vel. Load . Then when the time comes for the quiet subsonic hit . Just Dial the holdover & wait for the coyote to enter the controlled zone . & Hit them threw the windbags with a few hundred Ft/lbs of energy with a big round soft-point & there done .
That day I went over to house . Looked area over & ranged it off . That night I just went into the backyard quiet & set-up on the covered porch area behind the handrails . I just dialed-up 5-MOA & worked the remote call & waited . That Neighborhood is full of Cats & this coyote came in real low & quiet .

I shot several coyotes with .22LR suppressed sub. vel . . but only a few coyotes with 30-221/BLK boltaction @ Night , I like shooting Coyotes in the field primarily with high-Vel. suppressed loads . Nighttime coyote hunting & 30-221/BLK Subsonic Round shooting on coyotes in (open field conditions) just Blows bigtime & for most part just a Pipedream . In the open field hunting conditions they come-in fast, all direction & at all range distances & they keep moving . They don't stand around to give enough time to Range them then fuckaround dialing-up . It's hard enough to be up on your game enough to hunt them efficiently @ night with High Vel. Round .
