Haven't looked much yet but they are everywhere here this year according to the local ranchers. Did shoot one with a 243 and a 75gr Hornady HP. Just using them up, like the 75gr V-Max better. Went into town last week and saw 6 just driving down the road. 35 mi to town.

I did a small amount of scouting.Mostly just driving my jeep around sandy areas.Lot of track.my son and I are headed out in the morning.we will give it a try for a couple hours.
when in town the other day,stopped at the sportsman's warehouse.they had a small call, phantom digital predator caller.interesting little thing.very low volume.but it sounded good.so I bought it.I think it will work for coyotes that are close by.if they ain't there in 5 minutes move on.then ya can come back another day and call louder.
Plus this little caller has a feature that allows you to over lap sounds.you can be calling with the jack rabbit and push the coyote barks and have a duet going on.. thats was kinda cool. the rodents and the woodpecker together sound crazy..that ought ta bring em in.if anything just to see what the H--- is goin on..
