It can happen fast

I went out for the first coyote set of the season last night with a good spot in mind and good conditions. I had one come tearing in in about 20 seconds and put him down while self filming. Here's the video, give it the thumbs up if you like it!

Good job on the hunt, and an awesome job self filming. I never have tried it but I can see it would be so hard to get a good film.

Thanks man. Ya its a lot more difficult than it seems while watching a video. I was a little disappointed I couldn't get more footage of it coming in but it happened so fast haha

Love it! That's a well done video, amazingly so for one man doing the filming, calling and shooting by himself.

FWIW, I'm one of the codgers who keeps his scope on the lowest setting all of the time when hunting anything, including calling. I figure that if an animal surprises me close up, which has happened (including coyotes at arm's length), I want the scope set on as low magnification as possible. If the animal is way out there, time is seldom as critical and I figure that I will have time to dial up, which only takes a twist without looking at the scope.

Good hunting, good shooting and thanks for making it a good story for the rest of us.

Great video and job at getting it done!
I watched on my phone and couldn't tell if that was fox bang or the coyote squalling.

Nice job Brodie. I'm sure it was tough and took a lot of time - appreciate you posting it here

Same here. When using a rifle, I hunt with a 2-7x scope and keep it on 2x 99% of the time. In the woods, the shots usually come close and fast.

Good video by the way.

I think there was one behind you peeking outta the pines while you were doing your closing interview

KySongDog · January 10, 2017, 02:15:57 PM

Good eye, Jim! At 3:44 some thing definitely is running in the background.

Do you mean the car? Haha

Yeah, that movement caught my eye the first time through so I replayed it thinking that it might be another coyote, but the movement I can see at that time point is a car. I watched it through again watching the background for another coyote. I didn't see any but could have missed something.

kyfuzzyface · January 10, 2017, 06:01:24 PM

Good Job. really enjoyed it. Looks like you might have some competition CCP

I don't like video's at best and only watched this cause of the reply's.
When a person decides to post up a vid of a wounded coyote cause they were to busy playing with Fn toys to make a good shot I ain't impressed. I feel it is our job to do our best as hunters to not make the quarry suffer and suffer that poor coyote did. You would have had a better video in my opinion if you had not shot. To each their own but I will never watch another and even CCP couldn't persuade me to.
