Had another great weekend of hunting. My brother Jesse and our partner Alan did all of the killing, I provided a couple kill shots but never seemed to be in the right spot while the dogs were coming in. We hunted for almost 12 hours and killed seven coyotes. We honestly lost count on how many coyotes we saw. Some coyotes we busted walking in or saw while driving down the road, but all of the coyotes killed were called in accordance with the contest rules. With the nasty weather coming in, it was a perfect day and the coyotes were moving all day long. Days like that make it all worth it. Can't wait to do it again.

Long day, well worth it
A team with nine coyotes and three Bobcats won the contest. We knew we would have a tough time with only seven coyotes with the way the dogs were responding to the call. Even if we had killed everything we had a chance at shooting, we would have ended up with 11. Now if we killed everything we saw... If and buts, candy and nuts...
Woke up at 2am last night to a few coyotes harassing my dogs, then again at 6am. My dogs are in a fenced backyard and the coyotes were louder than my dogs, so I knew they were really close. Got up and gathered all my shit and walked outside facing east, not the best with the sunrise coming. 30min before sunrise I hit the call and waited. And waited. And waited.. Finally this male came from the east, and downwind at a full on run. I waited as long as I could, at 50 yards I barked him to a stop and dropped him. He was only 12 yards from the call, lucky I didn't wait any longer. Called another 15 minutes but nothing ever showed.
Keep the coyote pictures coming, nice shooting ! What are the details of your rifle set up? Does the suppressor make it easier to get a double? It looks like you are using a FoxPro too, what call are you having the most success with? I have been out coyote hunting a couple of times this year but no luck yet. We have fresh snow here now so they will easier to spot.
The rifle used to be a Remington R-15. I've since completely gutted it, changed practically everything, and had it redipped. The only original Remington parts are the upper and lower receivers and the lower parts minus the fire control group.

I dunno I think that's everything. That was from memory.
Suppressor really doesn't make doubles any easier. I've only gotten 3 doubles since getting the can but have had countless doubles before I had a suppressor. They really don't know what a gunshot is so a loud noise doesn't always scare them out of the country, most times it does tho. I do use a FoxPro and jackrabbit works well in my area, its all about what your prey is for your area.
