Hern:
I enjoy hearing 'the hunt, the kill' stories. Gun, ammo, call, set up, time, weather, etc..
Would you successful hunters of the September hunt, please tell us your hunt story?
Or if you missed or didn't get a shot? I'd like to hear.
Thank you.

Brushwolf:
My brother in law (timberdog) hunted together in this hunt. The kill happens Sunday morning at daylight. actully it started about 20 min before daylight. Timberdog started off with some lone howled then I joined in. After that a went into pup distress it was not long timberdog said here comes one then then he loses eyes. I do pup distress again it was not long he says again I have eyes and it's coming then he loses it again. After another series of pup distress and one series of bunny blues nothing. Well now it's daylight and we started taking about what had happen. Then timberdog says to your left he's standing there. So I pull up The 22-250 and put a 52 grain Berger through him. 

Made probably a total of six stands during this hunt.
Calls where used
 Timberdog  competition howler
 Me.  Blackout howler
        3 reed double slash
        Pup screamer

All in all it was a good time. Had to deal with fog on both nights and early mornings along with standing crops but that is early coyote hunting. Planning on doing one for next year.

 Brushwolf,  thanks for sharing.  Many of our members join to become better predator hunters, or are new to the sport and simply looking for guidance.  It's great to see the pics, but I'm sure most of our readers enjoy the stories behind the kills......  myself included.

Congratulations on your success and many thanks for sharing the story!!

QUATTRO:
I made a total of 4 stands. Two between 1:30am and 3:30am Saturday morning and two between 11pm and 1am Saturday night into Sunday morning. The first two were on a farm I've had luck on before. But like most everyone else the crops made locations tricky. I had no takers. The successful stand was at about 11:20 Saturday night. This farm had meadows and cut hay in the back of chicken houses. Coyote fell to a combination of a Primos call and a Nordik PlainPain, both making pup/coyote distress sounds. Shooting 40gr Vmax factory loads out of a .204... Coyote didn't take another step. I did revisit the farm from Saturday morning but again had no luck.

Misterjake23:
Quattro,  I share your choice in caliber.  I've never had  a coyote get away from me with my 204.  I use Hornady 40 gr bullistic tips.
