Couple more turkey/fawn/calf eaters that won't be causing anymore problems. A friend had a calf get his back legs chewed a few weeks ago near this area, doubt we got the ones doing the chewing, but you never know

KS. Also the worst blown up Coyote I’ve ever seen. The exit was larger than a basketball. 22-250@ 20yds is rough on a running coyote.
My god that is a gorgeous piece of wood on that rifle!!
Thanks Man! I bought it on gunbroker for 350 bucks. Its a 700 adl with a home finished Fajen. It looked like the guy finished sanded it with a dremel tool and finished it with shitty shellac. After much stripping, sanding, and 1 million coats of minwax antique oil it turned out great. Its also sub moa after a deep clean of the barrel and bedding/floating the action/barrel. Its posted in the bolt action thread.
No coyote for us yet but I’d like to share a story that my son, who is a mentor youth, and I experienced. It’s turkey season in PA and on the first day of the season my son and I were set up just off of a quad trail. Our backs were against the same tree with his right shoulder and my left shoulder touching. I’m explaining our setup so you can get a mental picture. I start calling, making a few yelps every 5 minutes or so. I called twice and then heard a small rustling directly behind me. Thinking it was a mouse or a chipmunk, I didn’t move. Then I heard it again to my left. I look and 15 feet from us is a coyote. It sees my movement and takes off. I actually heard it’s foot falls as it ran away. That’s the closest I’ve ever been to a coyote. My son says to me, “It was right there! I mean right there!” He’s pointing to the quad path to his left. Wanna talk about excitement? That got his heart beating REALLY fast. He made me feel his heart beating out of his chest. Haha. About 20 minutes later a hen saw me and took a tom with her when she left. When we got up to leave our spot I looked on the quad path and sure enough there were paw prints no more than 5 feet from where he was sitting. He says the reason he didn’t shoot it was because he’s never seen a coyote before and wasn’t sure if it was a fox, a dog or what. He wanted to check with me before he shot. That right there is a good, ethical hunter. I’m proud of him.
Guess I should not have deleted my coyote pictures. I ran out of space on my phone. Had over 2500 dead coyote pics. Sort of grim. I just take pictures to keep count by years.
Nice! Not many B.C’s in my neck of the woods Nebraska. Plenty of dogs though!
Hopefully your not trapping anywhere near me. I won't have any coyotes left to call.
If you are getting 100-200 a year, you should definitely sell them. Even if you don't want to skin them, you could have pocketed around $2000.
I would sell them for you no charge, if we could find a way to get them down here. I know the real payoff is being in the woods. But at least it would pay for your gas, bullets, and maybe another toy for the range.
I remember those days. Sold a lot of coyotes for $8-$10. I was offered $300 for one cat, but I kept it. It's still my biggest cat to date.
6.5 creedmoor at 200m.
I usually don't hunt them this time of year but I'm trying to give the fawns a chance to grow up
This vid has my favorite coyote hunt, my first triple. It starts at about 1:00 minute into the video. A fourth coyote was taken later than evening along with a couple boars.
Great video
Love the narration
Love the subtitles information
The subtitles were little quick so maybe I missed it, are you shooting suppressed?
Shoot straight, shoot often
Keep the videos coming
A few of the nicer ones from last year, and a derby photo from a two day hunt. Prices were good last year for prime coyotes. Averaged $96 for the last lot I sold. Fleshed stretched and brushed. These were prime adult hides shot in early december, with minimal damage.

Just make sure that this is a Coyote thread and not a Koyote thread.
Well driving out in Spanish Springs, I spotted a 'yote come out of the desert brush, cross the street in front of me and go into the brush on the other side. First one I have ever seen in 77 years of being on this planet. Fascinating...

It's about fur season, so I thought I would bump this thread back up. This smart, old coyote didnt circle far enough downwind of the 22-250.
This guy came running into my icotec within 10 minutes of calling.. Stood there and looked at me a second too long. I always forget how violent rage broadheads are.. Maybe I don’t shoot enough animals.
