Gotta love the snow for hunting

[linemansteve]

Went out this morning for a few hours after a short night of removing trees for the power lines. made three sets and 2 minutes in to the third set this 34 lb. male came sneaking in. I was using my new Foxpro Spitfire caller and it worked real well. I shot him at 20 yards. He came in to coyote pup distress at a low volume and in thick timber. I really like the new caller but it really needs a better speaker. and one with my two grandsons 2 and 6 .

NIce looking yote. It's good to see young ones taking an interest. Won't be long and all they'll let you do is the calling. Congrats on a nice yote.

vayotehowler-- S.E. Ky  just off Interstate 75 15 miles from the Tn. line. The coyote has a good color and looked very healthy. I reload for my 243 and this is the first time using the 87 grn hornady varmit bullet and I 've got to say I am impressed with it.  Thanks Steve

I shot him at 20 yards.

If'n ya keep callin' 'em in to 20 yards, ya could probably use a sling shot.

Get them boys infected with the fever so they can soon be sitting next to ya.

Frogman, When I left sat morning around 9 -I only had a few hours to hunt because our daughter and son-in law where on their way here with our first granddaughter . I came across two sets of coyote tracks coming out of the pasture my cows are in. I learned too day that my neighbor has two dead cows and they where problem snacking there . The wind was wrong to follow them but by the direction they went I had a good idea of the general area they headed for. I made a large loop around them and made a couple of sets with no results. The snow on the ground and on the trees and bushes made for limited visibility. I worked my way to a area I have called from in the past and set my caller up and moved 20 yards in front and 20 yards down wind from it.  I am still learning about the coyotes and try to read about them and what i can pick up here on the board. I have heard that the coyotes have plenty of food so animal distress sounds don't seem to be all that effective like they are out west. the last coyote I killed came to a coyote fox fight sound. When I ordered the Fox pro I put plenty of coyote sounds plus some distress calls. I was playing coyote pup distress at a low to mid volume about 2 minutes in to the set when I spotted him sneaking along a old haul road. He was moving slow and looking above me when my small window for a shot appeared and it was Bang Flop. I just wanted to wish Everyone on here Very MERRY CHRISTMAS and looking forward to seeing you at LBL.  Thanks Steve
