08-09 predator score sheet
 

This will be the thread that I will keep the scores updated on. This will also be the thread to post your pics. of your success on. As far as the pics. go., let's all try to post good quality, tasteful pictures, please. And in tasteful, I mean that we all should take a moment to place the animal/s in a position as to show as little of blood as possible. It's also nice to have pics. that include the hunter, not necassary, and also nice to see the terrain when possible in the back ground. I'm not saying to haul your kill around looking for "the perfect" back drop, but take an extra moment to position the animal in a way to show it's good side. It just makes better pics.for us all to look at. Don't forget to include the weapon used for the kill.

Let's keep it fun.Show off your hunting area. Show off your weapon.Show off your girlfriend, if ya want. (no extrapoints for girlfriends) SORRY!!:D

Well got a 'yote to score for Team #4
Last night whiffed on a bobcat. Tonight first setup, no go. As we were driving to next set, heard'em everywhere. Finally got in position and first used cottontail following a pass with the light. Then the ole jackrabbit brought him in and the 7mmMag did the rest.
Sorry for the low quality pics

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

I was hoping that I would have been put on a team Friday night. Didn't have a chance to check the internet all weekend, until now. Sure is a shame that these won't count, but I'll post them anyways.









First one should also read the 4th of Oct. I wasn't until I was down the road a ways that I relized I forgot to set the darn camera date.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Uh oh, Howler. You were right. We're gonna have to be callin everyday, well at least I will. I have never even seen 4 in a week

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

I could have had two more today, too. Let them both go because they were on the top of a hill. With all of the antelope hunters out this weekend, a miss could have been very dangerous.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

I busted a few this weekend while antelope hunting. Weren't called in so I didn't even take any pictures. Way to get the ball rolling guys! :D

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

#40- What are you shooting for a savage???

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

.243

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Thanks Howler... Got three good gun tags to fill then I will be after them hot and heavy.:D

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

wow that .243 doesnt like fur im kinda curious to see what the other side of those yotes look like. what bullets are you shooting #40?

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

70 Grain Sierra Blitzkings.

Called these two this weekend. Windy and rainy right after the first one pictured was taken. Tried to get out today (sunday) and just way to windy. Did see one while driving to a set, but couldn't call it in when there.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Well I took one for the team alright! I called a few coyotes last week but forgot that this contest started on October 1st - I was thinking it started with my season on the 15th. (Thanks Melsheeba for the confusion)

After realizing the mistake- I had to hold my nose and drag thisbloated messout of a sinkhole (it'shigh 80'shere) for a picture with the gun two days later.[:'(] I know Howler is giggling now! ;)




Season comes in on Wednesday here- so that'll open up all kinds of new public properties and a few of the "non-ADC" private farms I hunt. If this weather doesn't cool down soon, I'm going to take up golf or something. [:@] It was 85/87 both days this weekend.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

nice job jrb, thanks for getting the skunk out of the bag. I have'nt had a chance to call yet since the 1st.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Wow...

that really is takin one for the team

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Season opened 4 hours and 3 minutes ago. Full moon, clear nights, foggy mornings and rain in the forecast. If I was smart I'd just wait until the weekend to start calling.

If I was a betting man- I'd bet these nerves get to me and I make a stand or two before then. [:-]

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

I went out this mornin calling, saw 2 coyotes in 2 spots I wanted to call, so I let them be an kept driving. Got the the third spot of the morning and had yet to blow a call. The third spot produced a coyote with a bunch of cows chasing it around, never offered a shot that was safe, so I let the cows chase it away before he busted me. While on that stand I had another coyote about a mile back west of me howling so I went around and setup on him. Never got another response out of that dog. So a big fat ZERO for me this morning. :(

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

I finally got out for the first time this season this morning. Kind of warm, so I planned on going to ranch that I have hunted for many years with plans on putting some bullets on paper, and maybe plinkin' a prairie dog or two, and if I saw any coyotes, I was prepared to do a little callin' too. The prairie dogs on this ranch were wiped out two summers ago by the plague, so I didn't know if there would be any around yet. After talkin' to the rancher, I pulled back out on the road to drive back to the prairie dog town, and from the road I did some glassing across the town and spotted a coyote in the prairie dog town. So I parked the truck and snuck down a draw to get closer, and while I was sneeking down the draw, I spotted whatI figured to be a 2nd coyote further out in the pasture. I got to where I was only about 200 yards from one coyote, and the other was a good 1/4 mile out. I started the stand with some little lip squeeks, could see the far coyote, not the close one at this point, but the far coyote didn't respond at all. After about 3 series of lip squeeks, I was about to pull tweety out, because I wasn't sure if the closer coyote was hearing me either, and about that time, the first coyote came up on an old pond dam, about 65 yards, and I dumped it, and then immidiately went to some ki yi's, as I could see the other coyote running, not away, but across my location, and then it went behind the pond dam also. I did about 3 more little ki yi's and the second coyote showed up on the opposite end of the pond dike, and I dumped it at about 70 yards. When I walked up to the pond dam, I spotted a prairie dog about 150 yards out, so I decided to see if I could plink it, sat down, bang flopped it, and a sceond prairie dog came out of the grass up onto the mound at the same spot, so I plinked it too. My first double double!! After I took my pics., I then walked around a little and plinked 5 more prairie dogs. They aren't thick in this town yet, but they are coming back. After all that, I skipped putting any bullets through paper, as I decided that the rifle must not be too far off from last season.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

great job howler Plinking PD and yotes has to be more fun than plinking paper :D;)

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Good shooting!

Two more for me today.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

My prairie dog shots were pretty good, but my two coyotes were chip shots!! By the way, I like those pics. that you're posting this year, kind shows off your calling area and gives everyone an idea of your terrain lay out. Nice job!!

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

I don't remember you asking us to last year, but since you did this year, I will take all of the pictures this way. I have been finding myself looking for the best way to take the picture now, instead of just the standing up, facing the ground and coyote.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

Nice Work Howler...sounds like you had fun man

-I gotta get it together...

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

I gotta get calling this weekend, two guys called me about dog problems. I need to leave the geese, and the deer alone, and let the fur fly.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
 

I'll be out hunting for a few days, and will get the scores all caught up when I get back Monday night.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
