FINALLY

Post by jersey boy » Sun Mar 02, 2008 10:05 am

So i woke up this morning about an hour before sunrise. I walked about a half mile behind my house and sat where i seen coyote tracks and scat. So i sat down and had the call going and no lie it wqas probably 30 seconds and this coyote comes running at me. I was shaking bad and i put my .22 pump in ready position within seconds this coyote was 12 yards away. BOOM i shot he ran i thought i missed then BOOM i took another shot missed then all of sudden THUMP she dropped. [-o< I was so happy i called everyone haha all excited and i just stood up and she took off i was in shock so i started shooting remember this is a .22 pump iron sights. I hit her again in her neck then she stood up like nothing was wrong and ran i couldnt believe this so i followed her and found her laying in between two rocks(1st picture) but she wasnt done she tried running but i put a shot right in her head she was done now i sat down because i chased her a good 200 yards and i just relaxed and stared at her in shock that i just killed a freaking coyote i was so pumped. She is big i think so anyways. I carried her forever my ams are killing me ](*,) . I want to get her mounted but dont know where to go can anyone help me at all? I will have more pics later my ma needs to help me with them but these are from my phone. :) By the way i called her in with a johnny stewart electronic call.

Congratulations:
Sounds like you worked your call pretty good if the dog came running.
Did you skin her out?

Keep it up

Good job. Is this your first coyote? There ain't nothing like your first one.
I still remember mine and it was 38 years ago.
You are hooked now and live in a great place to be a caller.
Even the pro's have a hard time calling one this time of year.
Try it come next Sept. and watch 'em come running.
Oh and get a bigger gun, coyotes can take a lot of killin.

Congrats! Ya its probaly a good idea to get a more powerful gun so you have less runners.

Congrats on killing your first yote. Hopefully it'll be the first of many fawn killers.
