A well deserved coyote
Posted: October 23rd, 2017, 9:43 pm
As some may know me and the wife bought some land last year and I coyote hunted it several times last winter and never killed one. I called one in but no shot. That’s pretty disappointing to me as I love hunting coyotes. It’s second. First is turkey then yotes. Well all last year I had prolly 10 trail cam pics of coyotes but never could connect on one. I hunted a lot of mornings but very little evenings. Especially right before dark I never did. I’ve killed deer and turkeys off of it but never a Yote (until this evening).
Well fast forward to this year I have gotten a lot more pics of them in daylight hrs but most being night time. I got one pic of one shattin in my food plot
Well fast forward to today a cold front moved in along with rain just about all day. Off and on. Told guys at work that was gonna kill one this evening. I got off work at 3:30pm drove the 40 minutes home got my camo on,rifle,my fox pro spitfire with a sp60 speaker added, my lounger chair, and mojo and headed to my land. It’s 14 miles from where I live (eventually we gonna build a house out there). I was in a hurry cause it gets dark at 6:15pm or so. Got there at 4:30ish. Walked back to my biggest field got set-up with my call out 25 yards or so and my mojo and went back and set my chair up in under a cedar tree. It was a light drizzle but real windy prolly 30 mile hr winds and 48 degrees. Sit down reached in my pocket and it dawned on me I DIDNT BRING MY REMOTE. Got straight up left call and chair. Ran back to truck up a pretty good hill, got in truck and sped back home. Remote was on kitchen table where I left it. I’ve never done this before. Got back in truck and sped back out there. Thinkin the whole time. I hope a kill a coyote for doing all this nonsense. Lol. My fault though. That’s what gettin in a hurry will do. Got set back up around 5:40. Don’t have much time till dark. Fired call up on lightning jack and played it for prolly 6 minutes or so and muted it. Scanned area. Waited a few and turned it on coyote female wimpers. Played that for a few. Nothing. Waited few more and put it on coyote pup screams and played it a few then went in to coyote pup distress 3. It’s getting kinda dark at this point. Nothing. Turned it off. I can still see the field but visabity is fading quick. About 6:10pm I spotted a coyote trottin straight to me. Put scope on it and followed it then it veered going off to my right, at about 75 yards I let out a merrrrrrr (or however it’s spelled y’all know what it is) and let .223 eat with a .55 grain ballistic . First one I had to spin around for a few seconds then it was over. I was so happy. I was stoked. Feels good on my own land. Some of ya may be thinkin really it’s just a coyote but you just don’t understand it gets my blood boiling. I LOVE IT. Here’s the one shattin in my food plot
