went out for yotes for the first time this year. it was a great day made 4 stands and had 2 com in and we saw 5 for the day. the bad part is all the missing that i did. i missed 3. but $hit happens. all were runnning shots. the first one i got a real bad case of coyote fever and i could get it stop so i up and sent to after it. the other on was in a valley and it stoped for a split second and had the cross hairs right on it and squeezed the triger and nothing happened. safty no off and the yote climbing the hill slowly i sent one and missed then when it was in 5th gear i sent another but i didnt miss my much. the last one was circling down wind and i needed a nother second and it would have been lights out but it was heading for the hills before i could get a good shot off. i will get my firt dog this season and then coyote fever will be done with. but for now i need some humble pie and some range time. | ||

Saskhunter--I've been there done that, and I hope I will do it again someday (if you know what I mean). Keep going to the plate-sooner or later is all I know. Imagine this-imagine you have to hunt the cats and the yotes without calls/dogs/traps. Also, imagine you have to live on them for food and subsitance. Me thinks that for the most part we'd starve! I can't think of another big game animal out there I could say that about. Guess I am just stating which one I think is smarter. "GET TO THE HILL" Dogz | |||

Well, you now have some educated dogs to contend with. Perhaps even some PHd's. Change your set ups, change your calls and be patient. Don't over call. I firmly believe a bitch that has been called and shot at or pinched by a trap, can teach her pups to avoid them. Good luck... | |||

i used to work on my uncles ranch in montana. when feeding cows in the winter time we would always run into at leaswt one coyote a day when feeding. after about a month of feeding those coyotes would always be on the run when you saw them. the only thing we could do is throw lead at them. my uncle with a 223 and me with a 25-06. would get lucky every once in a while and hit one. i was always using hunting bullets. 117gr i think. i dont remember the damage being too severe. but every one i hit just stopped. i dont remember the distances but there was one spot we would almost always see one as we crested the hill. i would guess it to be 600 yards or so to crest the next hill. i hit one as he was trotting up the hill so i am guessing 400-500 yards. hit him right through the spine in the middle of his back. lights out!!! not a whole lot of damage. the coyote had terrible mange. about half of his fur was gone. all of the fur on his tail was gone. he looked like a big rat. | |||
