SIG 556 Nails Another 'Yote

Hot Damn, it simply does NOT get any better than this!

Got off work early this Friday afternoon at 2:30PM and drove home.

Got my rifle and went to the barn to get my FoxPro SpitFire and Jack-In-Box and walked down and set up the caller and decoy about 30 yards out in front of me at 4:00PM in the backyard.

Turned on Rabbit Distress on Volume Level #3 and within ten seconds a female 'yote coming running out of the woods straight at me and the caller.

Fortunately I had a round in the chamber and when she ran right up on the decoy I shot her head on between the eyes @ 30 yards.

She dropped dead as a door nail at 4:01PM.

I had not been hunting for 30 seconds and it was all over for this 'Yote!

On top of that, this morning I ordered another FireStorm caller and external speaker to compliment my current setup!

Nicely done. It's still 108 at 4pm here in Oklahoma. It will cool off soon and I'll be out there laying them out to.Very soon

Very nice!

Do you call coyotes very often from your back yard?

Do you keep a flea collar on your rifle?

About once or twice a week.

I shot this super nice black 'yote last time I went out the other week.

Here he is about two seconds before I put a sizzling handload through his heart with my SIG 556 from a laser measured 175 yards out (my blind is adjacent to the large oak tree with the V-shaped trunk straight across in the distance from the game cam)

Here is the one I got when I went out the time before about ten seconds before a scorching handload burst his heart:

Shot this nice bitch last month @ 195 yards with my old 1972 T/C Contender using a custom 20" 1:7" twist MatchGradeMachine barrel:

Nope, but a little tick repellant never hurts

That's cool that you have a good spot, so accessible.

gotta do our part to keep the 'yotes in check

We live on a 2,000 acre ranch in North Central Florida not too far from the Suwannee River. I have a conservation easement over the property to protect the Sandhill Cranes, Whooping Cranes, Gators, and such.

The only things that I hunt here are vermin, ie Wild Boar and Coyotes.

We have 175 cows and the coyotes ate 15 calves this past spring, so I shoot them on sight.

I've killed over 200 wild hogs the past two years too.

In Florida, on private land, you can hunt hogs and coyotes all year 'round and at night with a Night-Gun permit, no limit and any legal weapon, no limit on rounds in a magazine either, but I'll have to say that 99.95% of all my kills are one shot.

Shot this one at night while I was coyote hunting and he's in the freezer whole for a nice BBQ:
