Nephew and coyote

kregg · 03-26-2008, 09:23 PM

I took my nephew coyote hunting Monday evening and I called in 2 coyotes using the Primos Raspy Coaxer. The first one must have winded us or something because he ran into the woods about 150 yards away. The second one came in about 40 yards and I let my nephew shoot and he missed! He was still excited about it and can't wait to go again. I think he is hooked!

That was a great thing to do, letting the nephew fire first, get those younins interested.
I find just calling them in is a great tasks. Congratulations to you and your nephew there is always a next time. Good luck and keep us posted....earl......

LOL well while the sports are a bit different, the enjoyment level is the same they call it HUNTING not bagging and they call it fishing NOT catching. Fact is the thrill of doing it especially the first time is a LIFE LONG memory, and for you and your nephew it is a blessed one that you both can share together and alone for years to come. He'll remember the hot chocolate and that sweet warm cruellar you each had before you hit the fields, he'll be able to think a moment and recall every scent, the way the air felt on his skin, the birds call in the background and especially he'll remember the pounding of his heart as he took the shot! And you my friend will forever remember his excitement and enthusiasm about his very first coyote hunt with his Uncle WHAT A WONDERFUL TREASURE! (and yeah the caps are yelling cause that thought made ME very very happy)

Yeah great effort, bad luck about the shot. Maybe get him a shotgun and whatever loads suit coyotes- We use SSG's here a bit. Might be easier to hit with at close range. I know many close shots are actually harder than long ones. To wind the scope back to 6x from 14x for me, then think where the bullet is at 50 yards. Most of the time i shoot low at close ranges. But if its 100-300m away I know exactly where the bullet is and whatever im shooting at is in trouble. Kind of makes you look a bit stupid being able to hit long shots but failing miserably on the close ones. Hahaha never mind its the fun of being out there thats the main thing. Bagging a coyote would be a bonus.

Sell,
The first one came in about 10min after my 2nd calling sequence. Then we moved to another place and this one showed up not 30 sec. after I called.

You were in a coyote rich area! That doesnt happen often. I use Dead Coyote loads in my 870 out to 60 yards. They claim its deadly to 100, but 60's my limit. I aim about 1 1/2 feet high at 60 and they always ruin the yotes day.

Sell: If they dont come in after 4 calls 5 minutes apart you're either busted, yotes are educated, or no yotes.

Thank you for takeing some one new hunting. I learned the hard way, most of what I know about hunting by myself or from reading. My first deer hunt, I had my grand fathers old 12 guage side by side, three slugs, a pocket knife, and a motorcycle to get to the game lands. Things I forgot to take: rope, something to drink, something to eat, and TP. Oh and it was a wonderful day, started with freezeing rain, rained all day. I saw one doe, and it was buck season. After all these years, I can still see that doe, lieing there chewing, only twenty yards away. I can't remember how cold it was, or how tuff it was to get that bike up the slippery mountain road. I can't remember the thirst, or hunger, or even how much I wished I had Tp, when wet leaves were all that available.
Like I said, thank you, for takeing him, it will mean a lot to him, and for the rest of his life.
