Silversnipe and I went out for a coyote hunt this morning and we scored. It took our third set before we had not one but two show up. Our first setup of the day looked to be the most promising one we had lined up, but after calling (beginning at first light) for over 40 minutes we decided to move on to the next location. We called this 2nd place for 20 mins or so before moving on to our last set of the day for us. We arrived just after 9 am and setup 170 yds across watching a large bush. I would watch the right hand corner and Siversnipe had the middle and left side covered. We called for about 5 minutes with no takers, the wind shifted and was blowing toward the bush a little more than I liked so visions of a coyote coming from my end seemed slim…. I kept an out over my shoulder just incase something came from behind and sure enough about the 8 min mark I glance over my shoulder to see two coyotes in the open field. They must have come from the bush way in the back or across the road. One coyote kept its distance, seemed skittish wouldn’t come closer. The other coyote came in and then either it saw me move or wanted to get a wind check started moving from right to left. I wolfed him to stop and took him at 120yds. At the shot the other coyote (170 yds out) turned on the after burners. We screamed out trying to get him to stop but no luck. We let off a few shots at him as he was running hard but missed him….Here are a few pictures to go with the story, hope you enjoy…
