Goodluck! Been out for a while myself. Nothing yet so far. Hoping for a New Year’s Day miracle lol

I "would like" to go coyote calling. Not finding enough desire to go sit in this stuff. It is brutally cold and windy out. Be safe to those of you fighting the elements. Tough hunting conditions! Good luck fellas.

I went. Glad I did. Called one in. Shot it. Spun around chasing it's tail 10-12 times. I squeezed off another round. It took off running. Got a third round off. I believe the second hit but not the third. Walked over to location. Saw blood spun around in circles where it was doing the yip dance. Saw pee and a turd. Followed blood to a property I do not have permission on. Could not follow. I text the owner. He is a real peach. Told me to go screw myself. Honestly believe he is the only person in this world I cannot get along with. Must suck carrying so much hatred around. Probably gets heavy. Hope he enjoys the coyote carcass. I'm certain he will go inspect and see if I have any boot prints on his land. I think I'll go say a prayer for the poor sap. I'm content knowing I killed the coyote.

Damn, well at least you connected and drew blood. I don’t feel bad for coyotes one bit.

 

[OO2]

Glad to hear you connected

One of mine showed up when least expected. Keep at it Mike! (No deer on the couch).

Yup. He dead. Coyotes are not generally quick to bleed from a 223 round in my experience. The fur absorbs a lot of blood. Small sprays of blood tells me it was a good hit. Would not have seen if not for the snow.

Well played Sir! That is what I told the boys as I recapped the story. "And there it was. . . .A big turd. I knew I had knocked the crap out of him!" With 3 teenage boys in the house tonight (My two and a nephew who is 13), I knew they'd chuckle.

 

[Bigslam51]

It sucks the the dickhead wouldn't let you get him, but you did your job. It's a dead yote

 

[Dustinb80]

Good job Phil

 

[giles]

Boy I sure hope nothing comes to bother my squirrel corn...I just might be angry enough today to draw blood.

 

[OO2]

No luck calling yotes this morning.

Out chasing deer tonight. Will probably see yotes!

 

[brock ratcliff]

I just drove around checking fields. Saw nothing. It's cold.

 

[OO2]

3 Yearling does and 2 1.5 y/o bucks for me. Hope that the deer are just not moving far due to cold and that they haven’t been pushed out by the yotes.

Going to start hitting snares hard to try and reduce yote population. Will have to deal with any negative deer impacts.

Matches what I seen...glade I didn’t bundle up and go out like I was going to kill something.

 

[Boarhead]

Saw 8 does and a small buck.
Back at it tomorrow.

 

[giles]

25* tomorrow...heat wave!

Man I love the bitter cold when hunting late season over food!!!
Had a fun hunt tonight and saw plenty, but no bucks mature enough to make me pull the trigger.
I did take a poke at a yote at 150 or so yards. He spun around about 2 times in a circle, but we didn't find a trace of blood???
