Big game is winding down, coyote fur season is ramping up

25*30* should be the temp. Mostly sunny and west south west wind about 8 MPH. That's what we expect for Saturdays weather. SO we are maken a plan. Big game season has closed in some of the areas to the north of us. That take 99% of the other hunters out of the mix. I'm going to be packen the TC 22/250 with a load of 52 gr Berger's along with the 870 and 3 1/2" Lead "F" . The coyotes have been in prime for a month, and the numbers look very good. We hope to take our normal which is about 100 a fur season. Every thing over about 75 is profit. I'm hoping to get enough to get a 6mm06 this year. Time will tell. You can bet I'll have the "GO PRO" strapped on too.

I'm with you on that one. I've developed a big hatred for coyotes lately for some reason. Perhaps it has something to do with the nice buck one chased out of my scope right before I pulled the trigger last weekend. I see at least one coyote each hunt to that farm; the property owner shot at one that same day walking out for lunch.

I dropped 2 deer carcasses on the back of my property after processing them. Typically it takes ~3 days for the coyotes to find them, so I waited 4 then snuck out with the AR hoping to jump one in the vicinity. They were already stripped completely bare.

Once deer season is over I'm hoping to do some real coyote hunting for the first time.

You Know if I was able to kill a coyote at 80 yards we'd just have 94 to go... We got 3 in the fur box we lost one and I blew the shot on a monster coyote at 80 yards. [:s]

Way to go! Nice way to start your season.
