Scored a double on coyotes this afternoon
« on: January 01, 2013, 02:11:12 PM »
I hunted over a bait pile I started on Saturday before the snow. A gut pile from a buck I had killed on Friday and a road killed doe I had picked up. I had 4 coyotes come in together and only two left  :) . These two make a total of 4 for the year so far. I shot them with a Rem 700 in .222 rem that has been my go to varmint/predator rig for about 20 years.

Great going on the double dogs. The ranchers and deer hunters in the area will like the heck out of you. Now lets get after those 2 that got away.

While deer hunting with my .54 yesterday morning a coyote came trotting through the timber. He was stopping to investigate tracks as he worked his way down into a timbered "bowl" area where three small creeks come together. I watched him for about 15 minutes and when he got about 30 yards from me he stopped again to check out something in a clump of grass. He was standing sideways, so I decide "why not?" and put the front sight low on his ribs and squeezed it off. That big .54 RB just about cut him in half!!!!!

The pelt was ruint! But that's one more Coyote that won't be eating on the deer herd and the sheep here this winter! ;D
