3 day hunt, 13 coyotes and 2 bobcats!

Post by derbyacresbob »

I was lucky enough to do 3 days of predator calling with Tom Austin and Al Morris the last 3 days.

We ended up getting 13 coyotes and 2 bobcats. We got the two bobcats and at least 4 coyotes with shotguns. Tom and Al shot the two bobcats and the male bobcat Al got was huge. We ended up getting 10 of the coyotes and the two bobcats on video.

Al shot 5 or 6 of the coyotes in the 200 yard to 380 yard range with Hornady Superformance 22-250, 35gr NTX, 4450 fps, Lead Free ammo and it was very impressive to see how great it worked on coyotes.

Good job Bob! HaPpYbDaY!

What model foxpro?

My sons buddy just bought one and it’s supposed to sound like a coyote in distress doing the circle dance when the foxpro detects a shot.

That Foxpro caller is so new it is not available just yet. It is the X-Wave and should be available very soon.

Quite a few of the Foxpro e-callers come with the FOXBANG technology. With the FOXBANG enabled when a shot is fired the #1 pre-set sound will kick on. I use the "Coyote Pup Screams" sound on full volume. If you miss on your first shot or there is more than one coyote you have a good chance of stopping the coyote or coyotes that are running off. When they hear a coyote screaming sound at a very loud volume, quite often they will stop and look back.

That’s good stuff bob. That’s a haul right there. I’ve killed 3 coyotes since sept. I’m hunting small tracts. 100 acres and under. All on pup screams but one that was on Fawn distress. Im still a dinosaur lol. I’ve upgraded to fox pro wildfire from the spit fire. But I’m still killing with it.

Very nice! I really like the spotted cat belly picture. We went out this evening since it got clear skys with snow on ground but fog bank rolled in and hindered the visibility for us. Could hear them bark and yip at us inside of 200yds but couldn't see to kill. Keep the pictures coming!

I did use TSS #3 shot on this 3 day hunt. I have some TSS 3" 1-1/2 oz loads in sizes #1, #2, #3 and #4 shot. I think the TSS #3 shot is the best size for coyotes with 100 pellets in 1-1/2 oz of shot.

I have lots of the 3" 1-1/2 oz loads of Rem HD BB and HW13 BB and they work very good on coyotes with right at 70 pellets per shell.
