First shotgun yote

[Lighterknot]

I took a guy from work out calling with me this morning and made 2 stands before it got too hot.  He is brand new to hunting and we called in a coyote at each stand.  The 1st stand of the morning had one come in after about 10 min on his side but he couldn't get a shot before it winded us.  The 2nd stand we were setup a little closer to each other and I called 1 series with a raspy rabbit call and within a minute a young mail came trotting in to within 8 yards.  There was nothing in between me and him so I new any movement would spook him and he was already looking in my direction pretty cautiously.  With 1 steady motion I raised the shotgun and got a load in his hind quarters that caused him to spin and allow me to get 2  follow-up shots.  He only went about 10 yards before piling up and 1 more shot from my buddy to put him out of his misery sealed the deal.

I believe my co-worker may be hooked on the whole predator calling thing.

Chad, it's great to see you again.

He is brand new to hunting and....

Carrying on the tradition, I see.    Some years back I remember meeting another young feller getting hooked on predator calling. 




You did well, my friend!!!

A dead coyote is a good coyote & that right there is a good coyote. Way to go on initiating a new predator hunter.

Nice Knot!!!! Is thats as furred up as they get down there?

Congratulations!   Glad to see some one out.

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone.  The coolest thing about it is that we were setup close enough to where he saw the coyote about the same time i did so he got to experience that increase in blood pressure we all know those coyotes can cause.  

Chet:  I am trying to return the favor here in Eastern, GA.     Hopefully I can link up with you guys for the LBL this year.  2 years ago i was in Iraq and last year I had just moved to GA and couldn't swing it.

Todd: it is still 90 degrees or close to it here everyday so they still have their summer coats on.  they will furr up quite a bit, but not as much as I imagine the northern coyotes do...

Thanks Knot. Thats kinda what I was wondering, if they even got any thicker down there at all.
