Coyote Hunt 9-3-08

I hooked up with a pal of of mine and went to a local ranch to hunt for a coyote. I've been talking a lot about killing a dog, so I thought I'd put my money where my mouth was.

We got to the ranch at about 6 pm and set up in the area where the ranch owner had been seeing the coyotes entering his property and killing his goats. We started with the injured rabbit calls and the coyote challenge calls, but we got no takers. At about 7:30 pm I was looking at the goats and noticed that they were not looking at us, so I turned to see what they were looking at and saw a coyote out of the corner of my eye, behind us. I trained my 260 Remington at the coyote, which was only about 35 yard from me, and took the shot as my pal was calling a challenge call.

The coyote dropped to the ground with a single movement. I hit him in the chest and the bullet came out of his back, severing his spine. He gasped for air a couple of times, but life was over for him. The goats can live another day under the umbrella of the freedom I provide. Ha! Ha!

Anyway, I got a big rush and a 6 pack of Red Seal Ale as reward. I have a new addiction!

CHEERS!

Dan....you look sexy in the camo suit

Dan how did it taste?

Taste like Chicken...

Puppy killer 

In my area we are limited to shotgun hunting of coyotes.     I find that leaving the hide in the field does keep the others away for a couple weeks.

Very nice!  An even bigger rush is to call one into a ground blind and then shoot it with a bow... very difficult to get them within bow range without spooking... I've only got one from a ground blind with a bow.

I'm almost sad that Skygreen isn't still a member here, as I imagine this thread would get her screeching...

Funny thing Dan my neighbor came over yesterday to ask if I had seen her dog, its missing. Looks kind of like...holy crap!  Nice picks, cool camo, Cabelas?

If your wife loves dogs next time she complains about you going Kayak Fishing just show her Dan's picture and Say I could go hunting instead instant WAF Thanks Dan you might need that Camo at BAM 

Taste like Chicken...

But there are 4 drumsticks!

Smoke'n post and pic!!!! Anytime you can fool a preditor is a great day.

Not bad Dan. a six pack of good beer is more then what the bounty used to be when I was a kid. Up around Burney and Susanville they used to hang one on every fence post. Miles of em!

Dan, the Filipino community in the Bay Aea wants to hire you for parties 

Cool them coyotes always need a little thinning out . Wait until your calling one day and a bear comes in instead , especially if it first appears close , really gets your heart a pumping !

Nice!  I've peppered a few while pheasant hunting, but haven't lodged a pellet into an quickly lethal place (yet).

My dad is planning to set up a taxidermy studio out here in the next year or so, but could probably fit in tanning hides, small rugs and some other stuff this season.  If you kept it (or get another later) I could inquire as to what he can do and how much it'd cost. He'll be looking mainly to get his name out for a while and will offer good deals.

I would love to have taxidermy done on one, but my wife would shoot me, and then call your dad.

I must give credit where credit is due. Below is a pic of my buddy Jeremiah who was doing most of the calling.
