My coyote season in pictures

[tikka250]

Took me a while to convert this threat to ubb from the predator masters forum but better late than never.
As someone who likes photography and coyote hunting I tend to take a pile of photos during my outings. As many others seem to like them as well I figured I can ln post a bunch here for folks to enjoy.
Started the season off with a bang with an afternoon out with the Mrs

Had a small early dump of snow and managed to get out one more time with the Mrs and called in a real wary pair of coyotes. Only managed to get the one.

Called in and shotguned a fox right in the yard at work with one of the new bite reeds I made

Managed to kill a double with the shotgun and a triple on stand! I ended up killing another double after this.

Around end of December I began packing my heavy target gun in the tractor and despite its weight I have found it to be an extremely capable coyote killer

Had another great shotgun morning killing 3 with the shotgun. This heavy shot 3.5 inch B sure puts em down!

Begining of January winter finally showed up and the cold set in. Not much happened in Jan for me.

Ran a contest in February and managed to kill 10 coyotes solo during the day which is a major highlight of my coyote hunting career so far!

Not all shots are fur friendly! Quartering forward shot aiming downhill I hit high and sent fur sailing all over the place

Another bait coyote at the ranch. She was sunning herself on a snowdrift and refused to believe the rumbling tractor was a threat... Her mistake.

That's just a handful of the photos I grabbed through the season I have a few more on my Instagram @trophycountrycalls

Beautiful pics. Looks like a pretty good year. 10 in a day, that’s quite the accomplishment.

I second that. On both counts. Brad has a great eye for a capture. He accomplished something that I never have. I’ve killed 50 in a month many years ago but I’ve never been able to go double digits in a single day running solo. I tip my hat. Thanks for taking the time to share with us Tikka.

Thanks so much! It's funny 50 has always been a number I have always wanted to reach and ironically enough I think this year I might have done it but I didn't keep track!

Well done, farmers will appreciate you this spring during calving season. Suggest you might plan your next hunt inside city of Edmonton. Will save alot of tennis balls.

The only ones I sold all winter were the 10 on contest day and of them only 7 were worth taking and that got me a whopping $90

For myself that is a huge record but as far as coyote calling in general goes sadly it's not. I know one gentleman who claims to have got double in one day.
