Most shots in one day at coyotes? Most shots on a single stand? Most shots on a single coyote?

[BrianID]

I’m not proud of my shooting but set two new records yesterday. Most shots I’ve done on coyotes in a single day and most shots on a single stand.

I shot 16 times with my 223 and 2 times with my shotgun. I can’t think of many days I shot 10 shots at coyotes in a single day. 18 time for 4 coyotes is just embarrassing.

On the second stand I shot at one coyote 7 times and 8 minutes later another coyote showed up that didn’t mind all the shooting. I proceeded to shoot at it 4 times. 11 shots is the most I’ve ever done on a single stand.

The most shots I’ve done on a single coyote was 10 and I didn’t even hit it. The poor shooting was witnessed by a long time friend. An hour earlier I was bragging about how good of a shot I was with my AR10. Even 7 years later he would give me a hard time if I pulled that gun out to kill a coyote.

Look at the positive side, at least the shots all went off.

It was around 15 to 17 shots that it took me to kill 4 coyotes with my shotgun on one stand in thick fog. I actually had to go back to my truck to get more ammo to kill the 4th coyote. My main 2 excuses were it was foggy and I was shooting Remington HD T shot predator loads with only 50 pellets per shell with a tight choke. LOL

Shotgun loads with 70 to over 100 pellets per shell through a Mod choke kill and breakdown coyotes much more efficiently than loads with 50 pellets and less.

Isn't that what friends are for?

That is the old "make the coyote think you are target shooting" trick.

I grabbed the wrong ammo one hunt. I had to shoot this one coyote 9 times with FMJ .223 before he finally died.

I've had some night time mag dumps that would put your single stand record to shame. Plus I didn't get the coyote. One time I forgot to switch my gun selection on my superhogster, I'm glad I was solo on that hunt, I too went back to my house and got more ammo and finally connected.

It took me 14 rounds to kill 10 coyotes on this stand: Coyote Massacre, and I didn't have a single miss.
I know I'll never 'only' carry 14 rounds on me again. I usually carry 20, but forgot to top off my mag after the first two stands.

Some of the old timers on this board might remember this: Many, many years ago, we had a guy that was making hand calls here in Colorado.

One day, he posted about him and his buddy(s) taking 60+ shots at one coyote before they finally connected.

For me personally, it's probably 6-8 shots being the most I have fired at coyotes in one day.

6 for me resulted in 5 dead (had to put a 2nd round in one) on that stand-to say I was on 'cloud 9' was an understatement.
