The beast is dead...
Well I had a great weekend calling the Coyotes in the north Kettle Moraine Forest of Wisconsin! I went to a stand yesterday and got busted pretty quick, I never seen the Yote but he was barking for about 10 minutes or so, I called back then nothing! About an hour goes by then he shows himself about 260 yards out, I take a shot and way High. The dog runs and I take another shot and still high! I called it a night.
Went back to the range today and spent some serious time Dialing in the VX II and got it right where it needed to be at 100 yards, .5 inch high! I went from the range directly to a new stand and started off with 2 howls followed by a bird in distress, nothing after about 15 minutes, I repeat and wait. Then at the edge of the field he shows up, looks around so I lip squeak, he comes into the field but know somethings up. He starts to run away, I barked twice and stopped him broadside @ 158 yards and dropped him in his tracks, bang-flop!!!!!! The 40gr V-Max put a small entrance hole and no exit hole!!!! I love this gun and what a great sport!!!!!!!! Heres a couple of pics!  |

Awesome!! Coyote hunting sounds like so much fun, I really need to get out and try it sometime.

RE: The beast is dead...
Dropped him! One dead yote!

Good hunting, Congrats

RE: The beast is dead...
nice kill. those 40 grain v-max bullets are the bomb! my dad shoots them in his savage and myself in my remington in 22-250. we handloaded using Hogdon Varget powder and neck-sized cases. incredible accuracy and you can whack a fox or yote' and not have pelt damage like the 55 grainers. most of the time just a pin-hole going in!
good job' brian |
RE: The beast is dead...
Thanks fellas, here is another pic!

RE: The beast is dead...
would 150grain bullets out of a 30-06 be overkill for a yote? And is there a special way to skin them once you kill one?

RE: The beast is dead...
What did you shoot him with? Looks kind of like a Savage 12FV.

You gotta love those Savages.
What is it that you guys feed them coyotes to get them that big? Here is the little thing that I picked on this morning. Not anywhere near as big as yours. Most of them that I have shot have been about this size.  |
