Dang Rammer, just how much venison does one man need.
Nother nice one #40fan. Not too many coyote that weigh 40#'s around this area. Wonder what he's teeth looked like?

Nice shooting PurePredator.
I have only three empty shotgun shells for my calling yesterday. Had one into 30 yards and have been trying to kill one with the shotgun and I thought I had this all but tied up. First shot missed low, but barely knicked its front feet. On his way out of Dodge, I put the second shot into its butt. Did the spin and bite dance. Went to pull the trigger on the third shot while he was dancing and nothing!! Darn semi-auto shotty failed to feed the third round. When I figured out what was going on the coyote was already on the move. Shoved the third round into the chamber and fired a hail mary. Finally decided to get onto the rifle and was about to pull the trigger when I noticed a house in the background. I decided to let this one go.

Good job Mike. Those coyotes can take some punishment, that's for sure. About the only time I pack my shotgun is when we're in a calling contest. But then there are two of us, and my partner will have a rifle at the ready.

I would like to say thanks to "Rock River Arms", with out them this would have been alot tougher than it was... I would like to thank me for making some of the sweetest sounding calls..... "sounds like a darn Nascar Winner"....
This was my first triple, I have taken some doubles but never a triple on one stand...

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
here is how it fell out...
The last time I hunted this stand I had a double response and hit one, but couldnt find it. So I went in thinking that it might be a touchy spot but with the wind the way it was, it was my only option before work...
On the way in I seen some fresh tracks, what I could figure was 2 or 3 they walked right in step with each other so it was hard to tell, the only thing they where heading North and I was hoping for a Southern response... so I was getting more optimistic as I walked in... I sat on a small knoll that over looks some crp strips and 3 bean feilds, with a overgrown section of just thick stuff at the southern end of this feild...
I got set up, put the decoy out, and started on my first series, I wasnt through when I caught a coyote slipping in from the north... Almost in my scent cone. I stopped him at 25 yds. My rifle is zeroed for 200yds, so not thinking I put it on his chest and I split his head like a canoe, he started flopping I had no Idea what I just did so I shot him again... He is the one in the middle, not a pretty picture....
As I turned south, Coyote #2 made his entrance... I let him get to 150 he stopped and looked at the decoy.. Bang, miss, then I took one of those cool running shots where they just ball up... and roll... then he got up to do the squeal and bite dance... so I hit him again...
I'm sitting on the hill screaming that's how you do it, then coyote 3 & 4 show up... #3 got to with in 175 and sat down... so I hit him... dropped him like a rock... #4 seen the carnage laying everywhere and got the heck out of there...
I actually had to put the truck in 4wheel drive and drive back there cause I wasnt going to carry that many carcasses back to the truck... call me lazy...
The funny thing is I had enough time to make one more stand on the way home... I only had the shotgun... to make a long story short, I got one with in 15yds but he had to clear a tree, my brother called on my cell phone and his ring tone is "Big Pimpin" some of you may be familiar with this, most of you wont admit it..." and I only have 3 empty shot shells to show for it...
It was a good day to say the least... we had about a inch of snow.. everything was right... Mars and Jupiter... in alinment...
Thats my story.....
