WOW! thats some killing. sweet looking AR. what shells are you shooting out of your 10 gauge?

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

JRB - Thats a mighty fine pile of fur you got there! Good goin!

Howler - I know how those days go, believe me! I figured it was just easier to watch 'em walk instead of busting one of my best calling spots.....If the national weather service ain't lyin to me, tomorrow the wind will be right to hit that stand again, if I can get to it. I may end up walking 2 miles in just to call this one spot after the last blizzard we had.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Those are 3-1/2" Heavy Shot BB's. I shot it 7 or 8 times that night... my shoulder was sore. ;)

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Ohhhhhhh!!! You don't know where I live apparently. I'm not from Central or Northern Indiana... I'm in the Southernpart with 24,000 acre woods and 40 mile horse trails. Every coyote you see in that pile was at least 1/2 mile from the truck when he died... an we can't fita truck between the trees to drive around ina prarie like you guys.

:)

I'd carry you over the hills- and outshoot ya- but I don't know if I could adapt to calling that wide open country quick enough to outhunt you 5:1. Maybe I should say 3:1 so we can both agree? LOL!

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Now you're just trying to be nice!! Nice try, it's on now buddy. I'll be doing everything I can to keep your score in my dust!:)

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

holy cow thats alot of coyotes,foxes,and coons i wish i could get 1 but i suck at calling them in

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

This is getting interesting now. Good to see you posting some pictures, Jrb. Had me worried for a while.

I propose a combination of teams. #1 and #3! All in favor, say I. I !!!

Or just a swap. Me and petemixer. :D

I am going to have to really get after it to even keep up with you guys. Sure would be nice to see a single beat up on the rest of you though.

Good shooting, Howler.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

howled this one in tonight 50 yard shot. the .204 wasnt very nice

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Way to go ilyotehunter. Which coyote vocals did ya use and how quick did it come?

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

i was using my dan thompson howler and started off with a couple interrogation howls. sat there for about 10 min or so and got a response of 2 short screeching howls. it sounded like a couple hundred yards away. i did one more howl and sat tight. she came right by me along the edge of a dirt road may 5-10min after.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

nice yote it looks like it did some damage to it

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

are there teams posted on here? is it too late to join in on this?

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Yes, look at the very first page of this thread to see the teams and at this point, yes, it's too late to add to the teams.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

gotcha. if figured that was the case but figured I'd ask. thanks for the info tho.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

I now call Idaho Home.... Made it safely... Coming across Wyoming we hit 60+ mph head winds... Only crap... I usually get around 12 miles to the gallon with my F250, dragging the trailer and the head winds it droped down to 5.2, I really hatethe V10,

I got a little unloading to do and then its on.... I seen to many dead coyotes on the road coming out here,

Howler... I was right above Denver, on I-80 and I seen what looked like a kit fox... It wasnt a red or a gray, are those popular in Wyoming, and Colarado...

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Good shooting and inovative camo for the gun.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

DO NOT SCORE
I couldnt take it no more so I recruited a good friend, he only had his 1000yd rifle handy... so when I called one to 15 yards, the 308 did some damage....

"this guy is serious about that long distance stuff, see the range card on the rifle"

great news for team 3, i managed to miss to yotes today. i need to be more pacient and wait for better shots......

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Great lookin fox BHW! congrats

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Another really nice pic. bhw!! I've never called at night, I enjoy my sleep too much I guess!
I teamed up with a local friend in whats known as the Mid-west calling championship contest this weekend. We lost access to a ranch that we had intended to hunt, and hunted last year, so last weekend, it was a scramble to find places to call. Thought we'd do pretty good, but didn't have the action we had hoped for. Of course, isn't that the case so often. We did manage to see 9 coyotes, all of which came to the call. Killed 4, one with a shotgun, badly wounded one, again with the shotgun, and really should've killed 8 of the nine. Poor shooting![:@]Of the 4 we got, I got 2 and my partner got 2. We didn't even go back for check in, as we had decided that 6 was our minumum for making the long trip, figuring that it would take 6, probably 7 to place in the money. Haven't heard the results yet though. Had a stroke of unbeleivable luck, one of mine was a kill shot on a runner at a lazered 432 yards with my .204. Luck, nothing but luck[8D]. But then I had a stroke of bad luck and hit a strand of barbed wire that was between me and a standing coyote that was held up at 300 yards.[:@]Got lots of good excercise! SO, I guess, there's always next year to get in the money.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Nice going fellas, I was out of town for a few days for business. We have a blizzard rolling in tonite, I may sneak out here if the moon pokes out from behind the clouds an do a lil pre-storm calling tonite....

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Good killing, Howler. We have a contest coming up on the 24th and 25th of this month. Hope to find some partner that can actually make it this time. 7 coyotes won it last month.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

That's about a season's worth here in NY!!

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Way to go JRBhunter!!!! Thats an awesome week. Where in Indiana are you located?

Also, I just realized that I sent an email last week to a JRBhunter in regards to the IPC and based on the website in your signature line, Im guessing I sent the email to you. :D

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Thanks outdoorsman, it's been a good run for me lately. I'm now approaching 50 called/killed predators since season opened on the 15th of October. I'm from South Central Indiana-a few mile fromLouisville Kentucky. Down in the hills & hollows.

I'm heading to Central and Northern state this weekend... which is much easier calling country. I travel across most of the state throughout the winter months in search of coyotes. Since I can't overcome Howler with a target rich environment- I'll just have to do it with raw talent! LOL!


PS: Not sure about an email from last week... but yeah I run the Indiana Predator Challenge. The contact email for the hunt is - [email protected] or visit the website at www.IndianaPredatorChallenge.com

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Well good luck to US jb, should be a good weekend up this way. we just got a bunch of snow, and will be a little frost on the pumpkins. The wife don't like when we get good cold weather, and snow this time of year, she knows I'll be gone.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

50 is alot, congrats on almost getting there. And if you are looking for an additional hunter on a weekend let me know. Thanks for the email as well JRBHunter!!!

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Yodeldog, it's definately going to be cold enough where I'm heading! Real temps: High of -1 and a low of -12 with 20mph winds. Windchills dipping down to 30/35 below zero. I hope the coyotes are moving... need to make this long & dangerous journeyworthwhile!!!

Finally found a picture of Saturday's animals withmygun in the picture. I guess this edges us a little closer to Howler... but we have a LONG WAYS to go if we're going to catch up and pass him. Keep after them Yodeldog3!!!!

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Looks like a great day JRBhunter. Congrats. though I wont be in the minus temps, it will still be freezing cold in southern IN. Good luck this weekend.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Way to fellas. Been too cold for me to go out, it was -39 without windchill here this morning. Didn't know if I trusted my diesel pickup to get me around......

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

shot this female yesterday late afternoon rabbit squeeler 200yards with the .204

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Bummer I didn't know you were putting teams togather for yote hunting or I would have jumped in. Here is the yote I busted back in Sept.. Walt

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Woo hoo for me! First time "confirmed" night coyote kill. When I started lip squeaking after seeing it a 150 yards or so out, I didn't think it was going to stop long enough for me to take a shot. Hit it in the throat and the bullet road along the spine tearing up about half of its back. After shooting this one, I had about a 10 minute howling contest with another one that was about 200 yards across the river. He never showed up though.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

#40 fan I can't tell fromt he picture but is that a customized Savage?

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Yes, it is. It started out as a Savage Target Action. Added a Shilen barrel and Stockade stock.



This mornings fun.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Good job guys. I'll get some points added, and at this point, it looks like it still anybodys game.
No trigger time for me this weekend. Yesterday I went with a friend to look at some new country. We managed to get in 6 stands, and he got his first bobcat. Cool thing is that his two boys were sittin' right beside him and got to see the whole thing. I was sittin' in the wrong spot. Never saw it coming and a bought jumped out of my skin when he shot.


Thought I'd share the pic. even though I didn't shoot it, since not many bobcats are takin' in this part of the country.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Crazy that it happened to you, the bobcat thing.

Tonight, I spent two hours trying to get a bobcat in close enough to hit with the shotgun. I didn't want to blow it all to hell with the .243 AI. I have been in this spot numerous times during the day and late evening and never seen one before. When I first saw it, I was thinking it was a dumb grey fox, but it hung out there for a long time. It would kind of sneak in, then go out. Finally got a good look through the scope and saw what it was. Easily could have killed it about 80 yards out, but still, my thought was to save the hide. It circled us then dissapeared and I would drive around until I spotted it again. Watch it for a while come to the call, then it would be gone again....and again....

Friday, I will be more prepared with a little less explosive round.

First time I have ever seen one in the wild too.
