BHW & the Kitchen Sink Coyote

Gang,

Oh, where to start? I started at 7:00 PM and hunted until 2:00 AM. I had howling at every stand, some far - some close, and never saw eyes.

I grabbed 3 hours of sleep and headed back out at 5:00 AM. I was torn between 2 farms and compromised and went to both. the yotes howled at the first set up, but never showed. The second set up was great with turkeys gobbling like crazy! I went through quite a repertoire of sounds and this whopper came in at 7:15. It was the first coyote I've seen in bright day light in 2 years! I missed him on the first shot, well over 100 yds, and he bolted back in the direction he came. I barked to stop him and to my surprize.he ran right to the JIB, which was 40 yds out!!!

At this point, he looked just like the cover of the recent PX magazine! he was about 50 yds out when he noticed me and turned and ran away. Being no stranger to the Texas heart shot, I let him have it!! He spun like crazy, with entrails flying everywhere! The scene reminded me of those rhythmic gymnast you see on TV during the Olympics - when the ribbon is flying in a big circle. I was not about to lose him so I sent another 55gr ballistic tip at him and it hit him in the head. I switched to ki-yi's but no critters showed!

Here was the sequence, all on foxpro ...

2 female howls
a few estrus chirps
2 lone howls
wacky woodpecker
wail'n woodpecker
weep'n woodpecker
EW lip squeak
cottontail # 1
EW cottontail
jack rabbit
cal's rabbit
mad rabbit - THIS IS WHEN HE SHOWED

That's what I call perseverance!

He is a real beauty!

What dose of "Coyote Medicine" are you administering?

Congratulations!

Now tell me, isn't it more fun to watch them come in the day light?

Nice one BHW!! Next time, just use the "sink" and hit'em over the head, it won't be as messy!

LOL, Howler

Yes, the daytime hunt/shot is the way to go! Pure fun! We saw 7 coyotes in the dark last nite and never got a shot

Only 1 week to go in NY season
