Got to the farm just before 4 pm.... Was going to call on this farm and then go to another farm down the road but this one kept my attention for the 1hr and 30 minutes I was there.
1st setup.............I started calling and after a few minutes I get some coyotes challenge barking me way out in the distance. I played with them for about 30 minutes. They weren't coming closer so I decided to move closer to them.
2nd setup found me about 300 yds closer watching the bush the coyotes were barking from. My batteries died on my remote and I had to go to my hand calls.... Scream dying rabbit, scream a coyote pup distress the best I can. They (sounds like a few of them) continue to howl, challenge bark me.... Now I am starting to loose light and decide to make the bold move to get closer (almost right up to the main bush)
3rd setup........... I start screaming out again (dying rabbit, pup distress). I still have them challenge barking at me, as I am trying to figure out where they are I look over and one comes out of the bush. It sees me turn for the shot, runs a few yards and stops. I take the shot and I watch it fall over. Rookie move takes place now......
I don't reload but instead just look at the dead mange coyote through my scope..... As I am doing this, another coyote comes out and stands next to his dead buddy. I need to crank my bolt to eject and put a new bullet in, of course at the sound it takes off back into the bush....
Could have been an easy double but..................owell....
Enjoy the pics
