I was just wondering if there were any other 'yote slayers here. I live on the Yakima Indian Reservation and have a special permit to hunt on the "Rez". Part of the program is that we have to take blood samples and record some other information such age, sex, and location of kill.
There are so many coyotes this year. Last weekend, I saw over 12 in just over a couple of hours. We drive around the hot spots and take 200-400 yard action shots. Last weekend, I nailed one at about 250 yards. Not my longest kill, but a good start to the season. We will call them in later on in the season too. It's just more fun chasing them down.
Anyhow, just thought I'd ask if there were other's. I was considering posting pics but, a light .243 Win bullet going 3700 FPS can leave a mess.
One of my favorite critters to hunt. I use a Savage in 204 cal. Longest shot/kill was 321 yards on a sleeping yelp-er on the side of a ridge...never knew what hit it.
My biggest surprise with coyotes was when I was driving our RTV with my son Mike to head back to a blind for coyote hunting. We came over a hill and almost hit 7 dogs sleeping in a pack. Mike had the gun and dogs were running everywhere with shots ringing out all over. It was like flushing a covey of quail, but on the ground...which one do you aim at...all of them... LOL. They all got away but that was something.
