Finally got er done. Been real slow til today. Nice female. 1pm. started with the "Catnip"; really tryin to get a bobcat. Called a few sets of feline, then once with the rabbit in distress and it sealed the deal. Get out and get in the game. Mating season is coming and they're starting to wonder around a bit. Don't give up. The best part of the season is coming!!

[chrismgon]

awesome, I was wondering when this post would start filling up with pics Congrats!

I am going to spend this weekend hunting yotes and then took a full week off 23-27 to do half day of yote hunting each day (skiing the rest). I developed a small home made electronic call I hope to take the sound away from my stand which I recently setup and hope to see some wildlife Will post results if any. I realized what everyone says, hunting yotes is damn freaking harder than deer!

Allblue Bandit, we just started hunting this year with hounds. We have killed 7 in the last 2 weeks. It is a lot of fun when you get on one. Hoping for some more snow but it doesn't look to promising.

Very cool! There's no wonder you have the following that you do in the pred hunting community. You can sure knock the lights outta some fur!

So this is my first coyote I took him down last year a little after Christmas time, it was 3am and I'm laying in bed can't sleep so I thought what the hell it just got done snowing and it's a full moon, so I get outta bed and head up north in Saratoga county to this lady's farm to do a little calling, I get on stand and not even 10 minutes goes by before I hear somthin I never heard before.. A damn wolf howl!! Now for those of you who have never been alone in the woods, at night, and heard this sound piercing the air, it sends chills down your spine, luckily I had my trusty 1944 mosin nagant, that's right I'm out coyote hunting with a wwII relic.. Anyways right after he finishes I hear what sounds like 100 coyotes barking and yapping, needless to say my blood is pumping, I grab my promos cottontail call and start my best dying rabbit impression, about 10 minutes later I see this guy running full speed across the field coming right at me!! I let out a whistle and he stops about 70 yards I was so nervous/excited the second I got him in my sights I pulled the trigger, I see him spin and take off into the woods, I hop up instantly and run out praying to see some blood, and there it is!!! My first blood trail in the snow! I'm so damn excited my legs are shaking I take off after him and find him about 60 yards away and he was a lot bigger than I was expecting I have a knife in my hand as I approach him still breathing, I place my hand on his chest praying he dosnt jump up and bite me, and I feel him take his last breath, man I can't explain my feelings at that moment, it was my first time out coyote hunting and It couldn't have gone any better, turns out I made a pretty bad shot but it got the job done and under the circumstances I'm lucky to have held on to my rifle haha anyways here's some pics, sorry for the quality it was just me a cell phone and a cheap flashlight.

Well done Thor!

If you catch the predator hunting bug like I have, you'll soon find out that these lil' buggers can be pretty tough to hunt. There's a reason that Native Americans dubbed them as "tricksters"!  That's what drives me though, many nights on stand then bam one just emerges outta the fog!

 Also, you're not alone in using a WWII relic. I often tote my Remington Mod.11 shotgun. 

 

In recent years, I'm not sure what I anticipate more bow season or coyote season! I'm planning to punch some paper this weekend to make sure I'm still hitting in the 10 ring and hopefully we can get a 2013/14 predator success thread going on Oct.1st. 

  Good luck out there and welcome to the forum.

[Thor]

Thanks man! And yea I deff got the bug, I'm hooked!! although ill admit I've been more focused on getting my first buck lately with bow season so close, but come winter you'll find me out there in my snow camo callin coyotes.
