So much good learning... thanks for all the input.
I’m still learning lots and lots!
Today’s set up!
Just returning from turning on my “Critter Mojo” spinner... I turned on the Alpha Dog but forgot to start up the “Critter Mojo”. Rookie mistakes.....
Thanks for sharing!!
Cheers, Barney

I have found anytime I bring binos to a stand a coyote sneaks up close while I'm looking out far and he sees me or I get winded. No more binos for me if I'm coyote hunting.
As for the damage of a 6mmcreedmoor here is 5 coyotes and a badger taken with a 6creed from 120 to 340 yards.

These days if anyone in alberta is doing that to coyotes willingly then they are willingly throwing money away.

I always have a tree at my back, just in case some pesky cat drops by. Not just coyotes that come to calls here.

I got a bunch of Hornady 105 bthp match bullets...
Looks like they would be a good Deer bullet ????...that's some holes you got there.
I think 6mm might be a little too big...?If you don't want pelt damage.

Not sure how they would be on deer. I don't suspect a good heart shot would leave a live animal but being a target bullet it has the chance to open up and make a mess which depending on what you look for in a deer bullet is a good or bad thing.
I have only tried the heavier long range style bullets. I have heard of guys doing well with the 70gr nosler varmagedon bullets but have yet to test them myself.

You're pretty exposed with your chair and gun up that high.
I always sit on the ground with my back to a tree when calling. I also try to sit back from the tree-line in the shade if possible.
You might want a snow camo pop-up blind to hide your stuff in if that's what you want/like to use. Or, if that is a place you are going to regularly set up at, screw a white sheet of plywood to that tree for the season and sit behind it.
Looks like you're dragging everything in on the sleigh and a blind won't add much to the load. Will cut the wind down too. I'd drag the sleigh back out of sight or hide it behind the blind too. If you are hunting the same spots all the time I'd drag a white sheet of plywood into all of them and leave them set up for the winter.
In my experience, the better you get to getting to the set and setting up quietly, the better the success rate is.
