Title: Good night of hunting ends on a double coyote
Post by: bigben on November 17, 2012, 10:59:41 PM
Bulldog and i headed out hunting tonight. We had a new farm to hunt tonight. About three minutes into the first stand bulldog had eyes downwind about 300 yds. He worked him till finally he started working his way laterally in the field. We id'd him as a red fox and i got him stopped by woofin at him a few times. Bulldog tried a shot at 300 yds.  We walked down and looked but we found no red. We hopped across the road into another field and bulldog ended up callin a grey in but no shots fired.

We ended up going out to my uncles farm. We made one stand and moved deeper into the farm. After half way through the next stand a siren went of and a group of coyotes lit up on the oppisite side of the farm. We got a game plan and decided to drive around using roads to get downwind of em i had a good idea where they were. We got over to that side of the farm and we called for 2 mins appx and i see my bulldogs shooting light go on. I turned mine on as well and id'd the target as a coyote.  I said shoot and then squeezed the trigger. I heard a satisfying thump and jas cursed me. He said theres another one there. I got on a open reed from brad gainey and did some quick kiyis and sure nuff she popped up. Bulldog shot and another whoop came back. We walked to his first because he said he saw mine roll over. His was dead shot right between the eyes. Small hole in no exit. We then walked over to mine and sure nuff mine was laying there as well. A male and a female pa double using white lights and heres the kicker both were shot at 200 + yds. It was a good night.
Glory shot

Jason most likely is. I was just happy to see jason was with me. I finally got a calling partner.

I wish i had a partener. Since my brothers wife passed away I have had to hunt mostly by my self.
Like i said, a good predator hunting partener is hard to find. :-(

I wished i had better video of when we walked up to em. I was happy everything worked out perfect. I told jason in the truck on the way over that half the battle is knowing they are there. A quarter is setup and having wind in your favor and then the last quarter was finishing the set and sealing the deal. At 200+ yds both shots were not easy but jason made an impressive shot. 95% of guys that hunt preds prob would t have made the 200 yd shot i made and it was a fairly easy broadsideish shot imo. Jasons was darn near impossible and after hearing the whoop i was just praying that it was laying out there.

If it wasn't for Ben i would have never got the shot he thought quickly to get the coyote to look back at us so i could get my shoot off.
