I used the juvenile red fox and coyote pup screams again. Pulled this young male in around the 13-15 minute mark. He snuck around a terrace on me, and pretty much appeared in my front pocket, just about 20 yards out. I hit the machine again and when he dropped down in the next terrace bottom circling the machine I got the rifle on him. Next time he popped up at 60 yards I was on him and let him have a 40 VMAX out of the CZ-527. I am really ripping those things about 3500 fps, and it splashed some, but he only got 15-20 yards before he dropped. I probably need to slow them down 100 fps or so, it is only the close shots that do it every now and then. But a dead coyote is a dead coyote, so...
South of Childress? What kind of boat are you hunting out of? I have one game camera on a ranch along the Pease that I haven't been able to get within a mile of for the last month. Hopefully I can get the 4 wheeler across the gulleys this coming week.
Keep popping 'em over here. There are way too many this year.
(pssssttttt.....don't forget to 'pop a pig' too)
Actually I think we have had more rain over in Wellington than Childress has. I didn't quite need a boat (even though it has been pretty dang wet), but a Bug Tamer is an absolute necessity! Clouds of skeeters, you better have every inch of your body covered.
I went back over to Childress Friday evening and made a couple more stands, and killed another one south of Kirkland if you know where that is at.
