First Coyote hunt.
Posted: Mon Oct 18, 2010 9:03 am
Went out with a friend Saturday 10-16-10 just south of Boise ID. It was my first time Coyote hunting. He was running the call and had designated me as the shooter.
First stand was a bust. Gravel pit was in operation that morning breaking rocks and the sound was echoing up the draw very loudly. So we moved to a second spot about 5 miles away.
Set up the call and Immediatly we got a responce on the challenge call. A pair of dogs came and sat on the small rise you see behind me in the picture about 350 to 400 yards from our stand. It was the strangest thing. They sat out there dancing in the sagebrush bounding up on their hind legs. It was like they were jumping up to see farther.
After about 5 minutes he hit a pup in distress call. This brought them in at a full charge right to us. The yardage the dogs covered in 10 seconds was surreal.
The male dog pulled up at 200 yards broadside. My Savage 12 LVP in 204 with 32gr SBK pushed by 26g of 10X knocked him down not even a twitch. The female had stayed low against a fence and never presented a shot. All we saw of her was a flash of white as she exited over the sage brush rise in the background.
