#1 and #2 for 2011

[Teamroper]

Great day. Work got called off (with pay). Yahoo! Got 5 inches of snow over the past couple of days. Wind blew most of the morning and the first part of the afternoon. Had a gut feeling about going hunting just really wanted the wind to die down. Nobody on the roads so when the wind died down I jumped on my Polaris Ranger and took off for a neighboring farm that I hadn't touched in about 6 months. I had purposely left this place alone because I had called this place so much that I knew they were highly educated. 

Set up my Scorpion and hit the squirrel distress followed by a young rabbit distress and after I shot the first one I hit the wounded pup distress. The first coyote came running out of the woods on the five minute mark and ran to about 5 yds. from the Mojo Critter and stopped. Bang! Down #1. Continued to call the young rabbit distress call for another minute and then hit the wounded pup distress call. Two minutes later I saw one darting through the woods. Thank goodness for the snow or I might have not seen him. Got my gun ready and about 15 seconds later he appeared at the edge of the woodline. Bang! #2 down. Continued to call for about 4 more minutes and then quit. 

The front coyote weighed 30.68 lbs and the back on weighed 31.24 lbs.

Both coyotes were shot with a Winchester Model 70 in a 22-250 topped with a Nikon 4-12X50 Buckmasters scope and shooting 50 gr. Winchester bullets. Distance- 60 yds. What a way to start the new year. See ya in the woods.
