Sunday morning, my dad and I got out for a few stands. He has never been out hunting coyotes so I figured I'd teach him a few things. Figured I owed him as much, being that he taught me everything he knows about hunting other species!

Anyway, it was a perfect morning, cool and a WSW wind of about 5 mph. 1st and 2nd stands were blank but the 3rd produced. Set up on the north end of a narrow bean field, creek on the east side bluff on the west. Really good spot. Set up at 8:55 and howled a few times and at 9:00 started pup distress. At 9:03 out popped this big, old male from the creek. He trotted out and circled the sit-n-spin. I feel like the tails on the decoy had to be touching him. I yelped at him a few times but he didn't acknowledge me, and started heading back toward where he came from.

Took the shot at him while he was on a trot at about 45 yards. Dropped like a sack of potatoes. An awesome morning and even better I got to share it with the one I call "Daddy".

My biggest by a long shot. Weighed in at 41 lbs!


We're both cheesing in this picture! LOL

Funny you say that. I wanted him to take the shot but unfortunately he was in prone and lost the coyote in the weeds so counted on me to make the shot. He was super excited either way.

Family time, do it when and where you can! I can't do it with my dad any longer but I've got a couple of nephews hooked! Thanks for the read and good work
