The Boy and I took advantage of the Nice day Sunday.4:00 AM off |
|
we went, Loma was our starting point. The mud was not much of an |
|
issue and the grass dried out shortly after sun up, light wind |
|
but it was from every direction no set pattern. About the time |
|
we set up it would change making calling challenging. Even with |
|
that it was a tremendous day. We stopped to get out stuff ready |
|
and jumped a coyote along side the road, My son, dirty Haired it |
|
with his 22 carry, Nice start. Our first set we had our rifles |
|
and sitting a big slopping hill on to a big drainage. We called |
|
a long time and just before we gave up I saw a dog coming in at |
|
a full run. This time of year is when you use all coyote sounds |
|
and challenges, the respond like that ,"At a full run". Right up |
|
to MY lap ,no time to try to stop him so at 20 yards I put the X |
|
just under his chin and shot, Yaw I missed!!! He swung over and |
|
ran in front of Kristopher. He had his 223 over 12 gauge. The |
|
Boy shot at him with the 12 and hit him in the butt and then |
|
tried a running at mock 3 shot with the 223 but couldn't |
|
connect, didn't get him. With that info we decided that I wound |
|
use my 870 and my "F" shot coyote killers and my son would use |
|
the target 243. The next stand we did the same thing, up on a |
|
steep bank looking in to a huge drainage. He called for 11 |
|
minuets and we had two coyote flying in to the call. We where |
|
sitting about 50 yards apart separated by a small ridge. They |
|
climbed the almost vertical dirt brake like running across a Gym |
|
floor. In point one second I had a coyote 55 yards to my left |
|
about ready to clear the top and out of my view. My 870 barked |
|
and all four legs folded and the coyote rolled back to the |
|
bottom. As the dust was still falling I hear the 243 target |
|
rifle shoot, then again, then again but this time I heard the |
|
tell tail sound of a hit. There two and both under 60 yards from |
|
us. Although by the time he hit his it was nearer 200 yards. It |
|
was running so fast It flipped end over end three times then |
|
skidded another five feet. VERY impressive. From then on I |
|
carried the 12 and he took the 243. The wind was not our friend |
|
for next several sets and the sun was really HOT. At noon the |
|
clouds started to build and threaten rain, we pressed on and did |
|
some more . The last set we hunted a favorite spot but we did it |
|
in a way we never did before. The coyotes always come from where |
|
we decided to set up. We called a Long time nothing But yup when |
|
we got up a coyote ran off BEHIND us no telling how long he had |
|
been there. The boy tried a running shot or two but it's still |
|
out there sneaking around. All In all a great day of calling, |
|
six dogs four shot and two killed and we left two for seed. [8(] |
