NOTICE: No hand calls were used in the harming of this coyote!
Super warm last night and temps hung in the mid 60’s after the sun went down. Went out around 8PM to a farm that finally cleared his fields of Soybeans and corn. Made a set and only saw a couple deer. Another farmer about a mile away told me that he hadn’t harvested corn yet, but he did clear out his soybeans.
Winds were SSE at around 5 mph when I got there. I setup and made a full set without any takers so I packed up and headed to the truck. The winds picked up considerably and switched to ESE while I was making the set. I opened the windows and started the truck and a coyote starts firing off directly downwind of where I had setup. Well at least my full blown stink wasn’t hitting it in the nose!
Not to let an opportunity go to waste, I drove a quarter mile down the road and got downwind of this mouthy sucker! I trucked up into another field about 350 yards and set out my caller as far south as was comfortable but still give me a shot if this sucker took the easy path to me. She didn’t by the way, but I digress… I backed off to the NW about 80 yards from my caller and hit BFA Moto Lone Howls for the entire sound. About a minute later, deep in the woodlot that separated my two setups she went ballistic with some very pissed off barks and howls. I cut her off with Moto Magic howls and she went quiet, and so did I. A couple minutes later at about 300 yards I pick up heat coming from the woodlot to the east at my 12 o’clock. Winds were coming from my 9 o’clock and caller at my 10 o’clock. She’s coming but cutting to keep the wind in her favor and towards the road and the farmer’s daughter’s house. Running out of shooting room she paused at a little over 200 yards broadside. I took the shot, heard the thwap and she spun and took off towards the woods from which she came. She made it about 40 yards and crashed. Pup distress yielded no more takers. Amidst all this, I managed to take my scope in the nose on recoil! I must have been super relaxed at the shot as I Haven’t done that in years!
Another big female. Didn’t weigh her but if not 40 lbs she’s right there! Heart shot, pass through 55gr NBT from old Parvo 243
