Yesterday was the Arizona tri-club hunt (APC vs PVCI vs XPC). For the 2nd time in a row, APC cleaned house on all competing clubs.

Tyler, Andrew, and I went South and found some beautiful calling area where the coyotes ran into stands without a care in the world. We called 11, shot at 7 and took 4. Our poor kill ratio was 100% my fault. After missing 3 coyotes all within 25 yards with my shotgun I noticed the Carlson dead coyote choke was about 1/2 unscrewed. I have no idea how bad the shot pattern was effected but I'd have to guess significantly. Once that problem was corrected we shot 100% from there on out.
Highlights were the bobcat on the first stand that ran in after 3 minutes. Andrew was him and dropped him. I'll let him fill in the details. Another interesting event was the 30 pound male coyote that came through some really thick brush. I shot it and after tracking it down we realized it was in pretty bad shape. No teeth- all more down to the gums and a malformed left leg. No idea how long this coyote had evaded hunters but he was defiantly an old timer. The majority of the coyotes I have shot this year have all been young of year. I find it more of an accomplishment calling in and shooting a veteran coyote. Call of the day was Woodpecker distress.
Here's a picture of Andrew's bobcat. I have now opted to post pictures once a month rather than a few times a week.
This bobcat was actually quite large but when Andrew holds it up it appears more like a kitten.
