Went coyote hunting this morning and called in 2 but was only able to get one, which turned out to be the female. I was using my trusty cottontail distress hand call and decoy. I made three series on the hand call and they came charging in. Total call time was probably 7 minutes or so. I got her hung up in this pic so I could skin her out. I have a few more but they are graphic with guts hanging out. Calls: Haydel's Government Cottontail Distress Decoy: FoxJack (with homemade topper) Rifle: Howa M1500 Ranchland 243 Ammo: Hornady 75gr Hollow Points Distance: Around 50 yards Total call time: 7 minutes with 2 seen and 1 shot

I have a 835 and a friend of mine has a Mossberg 835 Turkey thug edition. It has a 20 inch barrel. He killed his first turkey with it last year at 44 steps.

Looks like yall had a nice time.

I have had good luck with Haydel's hand calls. I use the cottontail distress. I also own a Foxpro Wildfire electronic game call. I have called up several this year but just haven't connected yet. This has not been my year yet lol. The best piece of advise I can give you is keep calling. Eastern Coyotes can be tough at times. Don't get discouraged if you make 15 stands and not get one. Like I said just keep calling and it will happen. I live for predator hunting, It's challenging and exciting. If you need a specific answer just ask.

???

Good luck sir!

Very cool.

I hope they don't go up. They are expensive as it is. I'm poor dangit lol. I guess someone needs to pay for all those helicopter hog kills the state is doing.

If we are getting away from tags wonder if they will lower the cost on license since they would save on getting them printed and such.

I tried looking but couldnt find it. May not be ready for release yet. It did say it would be ready by turkey season though.

I use something similar to carry my downed fur out of the woods.

I thought you had to check your game in at the end of the day anyway?

Are they getting rid of the kill tags?

So they just added a phone app? Thats what it looks like to me.

I pattern mine out to 50 yards. Most people won't shoot that far but I have confidence I can make that shot and get a clean kill. I do prefer them to be a bit closer. After all calling in a bird really close and listening to him drum makes me a happy hunter.

Those nooses do look like they would carry small animals.

Same here

Get you some turkey targets and different loads. Each shotgun/choke combo will pattern different. I have a Mossberg 835 with kicks choke and Winchester #6 gives me the best patterns.

Yummy lookin hog!

Member since 2007. Friend told me to check out this place. Been hooked ever since.

My daughter is 8 and she has begged me to let her go this year. Looks like I will be calling up some birds for her.

Got my comments in about hunting predators at night. I even suggested a shotgun/rimfire only or shotgun only at night. Either way I would be happy.

Very nice buck!

Just wanted to wish all of you outdoorsman a Merry Christmas. Hope you have a fun filled day with family and friends. God bless and be safe.

That looks good!
