Coyote Down in Southwest MO

Coyote #3

The HunterByDesign team Was able to finally get out and predator hunt a piece of land that I’ve been wanting to get out on for some time now. This property is set up great for coyotes complete with many draws, large open areas, and a lot of cattle nearby.
We arrived at the land about an hour before dark and quickly moved to get set up. We were just getting to a clump of trees that overlooked a large draw when I spotted a coyote approx 250-300 yrds away just before he slipped into the brush.
We quickly sat down and after a few minutes and I began the rabbit squealing both from the Primos Catnip call, and the Verminator Tweety call. Our patience was rewarded about 15 minutes later as the dog cautiosly stepped into an opening in the brushy draw about 80yrds away. The Remingtion R-15 ,223 was already in postion on the shooting sticks. I was shooting through a briar bush was made me a bit squeamish with a .223, but my cousins couldn’t see him so I took my chances by putting the hammer down. The coyote never took another step, it went straight down – not bad for a lung shot!
This is a great time of the year to get after the predators as most regular seasons for deer, and waterfowl are starting to close up. This can be a great way to keep enjoying God’s creation and scratch that hunting itch that most of us diehards have year round! Best of luck!
