First real season of trying to figure out the coyote hunting. Picked up a cheap savage combo in .243 during the holiday season to be my dedicated coyote rig, later to become my boy's first deer rifle. (That's if I don't shoot the barrel out of it first, he's only 3).
The season started off pretty good with this little girl at 200 yds+ on an excursion with Doorguy.

I am pretty confident it will become an annual event since everyone had a blast.
We learned a lot about calling coyotes over the season and I had some fun taking some other friends out to introduce them to the sport. Spring has hit the Peace now so I think the fur quality is going to drop off soon. This big boy may well be my season closer:
