I woke up this morning and decided to go sit on the bait pile me and a few buddies have been running. I was a little late getting out there but decided to check it out anyways. I peek over the ridge and see nothing feeding down below. Not wanting to waste a trip out I begin a series of real quiet cottontail in distress with my mouth call. No more than 30 seconds later I see one coyote at first crossing a large pond heading right towards me. He is closing ground fast and then I see 4 more appear and join in the chase. One well placed shot at 250 yards breaks all hell loose. I have coyotes running in every direction trying to escape. I take a shot at a running one heading left to right and was just a hair behind, I rack the bolt and the second 80 Grain Nosler Ballistic tip sends him into the spins. Having put only 3 shots in my rifle at the start there I am digging in my pocket for a another shell for a 6th coyote I just noticed trying to make his escape. 4 shots bagging 3 dogs made for a good morning and sure eased some pressure off the local deer population. From start to finish my hunt was 5 min long and I achieved my first double and triple all in the same day.
