thx all, we had a great father/son experience ....

i actually went hunting at the same spot last saturday with my dog and she found the EXACT spot where the coyote fell! actually about 10ft from the spot she started growling and her hair was raised onm her back. so i wasnt really paying attention to where the other yote was shot so i got excited since she only does this when there is a coyote around or fresh piss/droppings. then after i threw a slug in my 870 i realized that she smelt the blood from the yote we shot a few weeks be4.

i guess my lab-x really does have a good nose. wen the yote was shot there was a few inches of snow and on saturday it was like 12 degrees (i had to wear spring camo since it was so warm) so there was no snow at all. plus, there was lots of rain last week.....but she could still smell traces of blood i guess.

ever since that male yote was shot we havent been able to find any fresh sign of the other yote that we know for a fact was there.....but i think there was a fox track....they step one paw infront of the other correct?

what is the best way to locate coyotes? im gettin my savage 12FV .22-250 or .243 soon....then the yotes and crows better run [>:][>:][>:] lol

also, im new to calling, so which usually works best for coyotes or fox? i was playin around with some crows on saturday and i tried a mouse squeller, cottontail, and jackrabbit. crows only showed interest in the jackrabbit screamer...heh there was about 12-15 of them and i called them all back 4 times, made 1 shot after each time they came, killed 3 crows...

lol....i guess those new winchester hi velocity 3 1/2" steel BB's pack a pretty good punch since feathers were flyin at ranges from 20-55yards

PS. i shot a car that has been in the bush we hunt for like 10 yrs and is all beat up and stuff. 25 yards away, 3 1/2" BB in steel, modified choke, rear door.
all of the shot passed right through the door and dented the opposite door with 7 BB's actually going right through the other door. are these loads good enuf for coyotes? if so, what would be the max range that id have enuf killing power?
