Dusted the curs off....

[Yotehntr]

Knocked the dust off the curs and took them hunting this morning.. 2nd set in we had a taker, hit him a little far back at 174 yards (buddy's range finder) he took off and we kept calling to see if we had another taker... nope.  I have to tie the curs up behind me these days, I'd never get a  shot if I didn't.  Walked them to where the coyote was when I shot and in about 3-5 min's they had him cornered. Property had a very small culvert down a wash and there she was.  Roi drug it out by it's arse LOL. That's one rough dog.  They roughed it up a little and we headed out for some more hunting.

In front of the culvert where Roi drug him... there was action just before and after this pic.



Our next stand I saw one come in from a pretty good way off, raised the gun and    thought it already crossed the fence.  No matter steady up and squeeze.. cows everywhere btw, then I saw my coyote running after burners on full speed.     I would've swore I made a good shot... got the ki-yi's rollin and it stopped.... dang cows in the way kept calling, it came back again after about 3 min's.. but a cow would've felt the wind across it's nose it turned around and left. My buddy starts ribbing me    "miss Gainey"....    I walk the curs over there and less than 5 min's Dan starts raising "L" then Roi join's in...  There were 2 coyote's got 1 .  action pics of my 176 yard shot.

black and white action...

Pretty cool! Dogs seem to add to the hunt.

They do, I've had a bit of a learning curve with them.  Started out they'd sit behind me just by obedience.. they're to intense now, have to tie them up. At that when they see a coyote or someone shoots they go crazy.  Just starting calling this morning they start whining. (Did I mention they're a little intense?) I used to try to keep them quite but seems like they explain the sound to the coyote's now. I've shot one, they go crazy and the 2nd one come running in to see what the dogs are about.    If they break free, (it happens) the coyote will run away, they don't let up until I "tone" them back.
