Got 2 coyotes and helped brand 70 calves. Pictures!

Post by derbyacresbob »

I was scheduled to show up at the ranchers corrals at 10:00 am to help brand some calves, so I went out a little early and got in one coyote calling stand.

After calling for 35 minutes a big male coyote made the mistake of stopping and looking at me at about 125 yards away. My 22-250 dropped him in his tracks.

We ended up branding 70 calves. I really enjoy helping the rancher and his family brand the calves.

After the branding was done I decided to make a few more coyote calling stands. The first stand nothing showed up. On the next stand I used my shotgun and had my camera in my hands.

I called for about 10 minutes and then switched to one of my louder rabbit sounds and cranked up the volume for about a minute and then lowered the volume back down to about 3/4 volume.

About 4 minutes later I saw a coyote heading my way.

Right after I took the second above picture I dropped my camera and grabbed my shotgun.

I got a little excited and used more ammo than I should have to put the coyote down.

It was a fun day!
