Setup yesterday just around 4:30ish with my Lucky Duck Revolt e-caller at my favor deer hunting spot calling for about half an hour with 30 seconds call and 15 mins in between then this guy came out from no where standing no more than 50 yards away.

Put the crosshair on his chest and gently squeeze the trigger the Hornady 143gr ELD-X 6.5 CM does the job bang flop no tracking.

It's a beautiful male with a nice coat. Call up a buddy wants the hide and drop it off at his place another successful hunt with some good memories.

Wish everybody have a happy new year and a safe and fun hunting season.



 
Congratulations and a nice looking animal.

Out of curiosity - what was the exit wound like with that bullet? I am hoping to peg one with my 6.5x55 which is currently sighted in with 140 grain bullets . I realize that the pelts are not worth much these days but I didnt want to blow a huge hole through one.

I also have some 100 grain bullets loaded up for it as well.
 
Does this make a measurable impact on deer populations? Stressing "measurable"

Happy New Year one and all

My experience with 140 Hornady SST's in my 6.5x55 on deer has been walnut sized exit holes.

OP, nice looking yote.
 
The bullet entered from the chest and exit from just the front of the hind quarter.

The exit wound is about what Paul_T mention around a walnut size.

I don't have a definite answer on this but the farmer who let me hunt on his property sure was happy to see pics of it knowing his property has one less yote to worry as he has livestock thus make me welcome to hunt this place.

Happy farmer= happy hunter lol.

Does it really matter ?
After all it is about the hunt and the days success.
But, giving at least a couple of fawns a better chance in the spring does measure up.
Great pics, nice looking gun and another snow napping coyote.

We don't like ecological knowledge? I thought most hunters did. Wasn't aware this thread was "all about" something very specific lol.

You seem to take some kind of issue with the question?

No, Not at all........
I obviously do not think as cerebral as you on your question.
In fact, coyote are remarkable critters.
To the point that the harder they are hunted they have this remarkable ability to reproduce in larger numbers.
But, I digress it is the last day of 2022 and I would rather see guys having much hunting/stalking fun in the field than debate the merits of reducing the coyote population.

Around here farmers or cattle farmers like coyoties. They control groundhogs. Guess it depends on the crop. I have a little hobby farm according to insurance lol I'd shoot any coyote I could. Keep me awake teasing the dog

None at all. Many studies have shown that hunters have little to no impact on reducing coyote populations as we are not efficient enough to reduce numbers.

You can wipe out an entire pack and within a short time there will be new animals that have taken their place. Research has also shown that the more you kill, the younger they breed with larger litters to replace the lost animals.
