4 sets and had hawks circling on all 4. No coyotes tonight, but how can you beat watching a sunset with a scream’n rabbit echoing in the woods

That is a great pic. How do you like that Howa? I almost bought one spur of the moment last week but it was Kryptic camo and I wanted snow camo.
DTDecember 29, 2014 at 6:35 pm #1489568Have been skunked on my last few sets as well, but had plenty of crows come investigate. That picture makes your rifle look pretty Bad***.
December 29, 2014 at 6:45 pm #1489574Dt, I wack pretty much anything within 500 yrd I put the mil-dots on. Sub-moa with nosler or Hornady 55 gr bullets over varget. Very deadly tool. I’m well over 2000 rounds through it and it still shoots a single tattered hole at 200yrds with a 4 shot group.
If.you watch any of my p-dog vids, the slow motion will show the trajectory. It reaches out there.
December 29, 2014 at 7:13 pm #1489604My dog woke me up at 2:30 AM a couple days ago. A few seconds later I learned why. A coyote howling in the back yard!
December 30, 2014 at 9:57 am #1489850They should start responding to vocalizations with the females coming into heat soon. These cold nights ought to kick the dinner bell into overdrive also. I’m gonna try to get out this weekend.
Love the pic Randy!!
December 30, 2014 at 2:18 pm #1489944I was quite aggravated this morning g. Only made two sets at sunrise. First set had a pair coming in. They split apart at about 400yrds and we’re sneaking in between tree rows in my field. Lost sight of them at about 300 yrds and they never reappeared. Have no clue what happened or where they went. Just vanished. I suspect they were smarter than I gave them credit for and they managed to sneak out undetected.
Set two had a bald eagle come in and circle for about 20 minutes. Then nothing but COLD.
December 30, 2014 at 7:21 pm #1490047Going off of the picture you posted, where would your caller be in that set up? Do you just put it out in the open field?
DTDecember 31, 2014 at 3:33 am #1490150DT my scope sun shield blocks the view to my caller and a muskrat pelt on a stick. It is in the corn rows that turns to the middle of the picture.
Wind 5 to 8 mph quarter toward me right to left. That takes 100% of my scent far and away from the set.
What you don’t see. In this coulee is a freak nest of treetops, grape vines and brush. There is also a second coulee that is beyond the fence line that hosts an equal amount of cover. With this wind, almost every coyote that I have shot here has come out where the finger of treeline projects out in the bottom of the coulee. The step out in the field, stop, spend a minute or two looking back and forth, then continue up the hill.
