I went back to the farm where I had boogered the coyotes about a week ago. This time I hunted alot smarter. The wind was a little better this time too. I climbed a mule face ridge skirting between a cut over and open hard woods. I set-up with my back against a downed tree on the edge of the cut over, the wind was nothing more than thermals at that point, they were rising so I was good sitting at near the top of a steep hill calling down into a brushy hollow. I used a locater first, nothing the woods were silent so I had a slight breach of ettiquette and went straight for old faithful, Coyote pup distress. I had pointed the speaker about 50 yards from the cut over just hoping one would poke it's head out. At about the 15 minute mark I thought I heard something behind me I turned to look and when I looked back a young coyote was sneaking toward me he would hide then come a little closer. I shot him at 86 steps with my favorite .308. The landowner is happy I'm happy and the coyote is in coyote heaven,

I'm sure he's happy too. I'm gonna try to send more coyote family members to see him there.

Way to go Harold-your planning and set up worked great. By the way that is a nice looking 600-I wish I had bought a .35 Rem version back in the day but they are sky high now. PH
 
Thanks for the kind words about my shootin iron. It is a tack driver with heavy bullets. I use nothing less than 165gr. I've killed coyotes from 339, 319,and 299steps all 1 shot kills and no misses. I have a big field beside my house when the field is cut the yotes come out and mouse around the fartherest corner is about 350. I wish I could find another .308 just like it.
 
varmint 1111, I leave it playing the whole time. I think i call quieter than most. At least quieter than my buddies. I will adjust the volume up and down when trying to locate one just to listen but until I change tapes the sound doesn't stop.
