Normally I don't hunt them in the summer but after zeroing my .223 I thought (all excited like) about going out for a coyote hunt this evening just to see if the new shooting stance (shooting sticks-tripod and low seat) would be effective for me in a hunting situation and it was...
I knew the farmer was removing the hay today and with that, I figured I had a good chance of seeing one exploring the field.
I got there about 45 minutes before last light, got setup and started screaming out with my mouth calls... After about 20 minutes or so I seen him standing on the edge of the field about 250 yds out....
I screamed out with my mouth calls again, this time a little softer/quieter.....He started headed toward me, slowly but steady. As he reached about 100yds or so he started to turn and gave me a quartering to shot... At the sound of the shot I heard the impact, it was loud. To my surprise he started running but fell over pretty quick....Even though it was a calm night and he had no idea I was there, my heart started racing and I got nervous, buggers sure get the heart going....
Not the biggest but a good size one nevertheless.
