First coyote

[lou400a]

This is my first coyote, second one called. Can't believe how exciting predator hunting is. Healthy male around 35-40lbs. Called in with Minaska Big Country and decoy, dispatched with 6.5 Grendel 123 AMAX.

nice work! Still trying to find one with my Grendel!

Great pictures and well done. Could you give us some more details on your Grendel , Barrel, scope, type etc.

[bwaites]

Great looking dog, too! Beautifully done!

Congratulations, that is a nice looking yote, most of mine are scruffy looking.

AA billet upper
18" Satern barrel, mid-length gas system, Vortex flashider
PRI rifle length handguard
Billet lower, Timney 3lbs trigger
ACE M4 SOCOM stock
Leupold VX3 (pre Mark 4) 3-10x40 scope, TMR reticle and M3 turrets

Took it apart yesterday and sent the barrel back to Saturn to get re-threaded to 5/8x24 so its going to loose 1/2" when I get it back. Once it arrives I'm going to convert it with Adams Arms piston kit and Samson Evo handguard to be used with AAC Scar-H can. Will post pix and range report once done.
Since I have the upper laying around I may get 22-24" tube from Satern to replace it.

Thanks Bob,

this was a healthy male. I took him at Deer Creak Lodge, KY. Its my second coyote called in, but couldn't connect with my 300 whisper on the first one. I guess I got too excited and misjudged the distance of 150 yards so I took the Grendel out to take me out of the equation!

That's a good size coyote, congratulations. Nice pics. How long of a shot was it?

It was a long shot of 60 yards. These things move when they come in unlike deer.

He came in running right at 45 minutes. I've used few cottontail sounds with breaks in between, but he came to baby coon sound. The first yote took little over 40 minutes to call and he came to domestic cat and bird. I hunt just east of you in western KY. Pretty dense woods with farms and bird sanctuaries around so they have lots of cover and food.

Ahh cool western Kentucky! I have cousins that live on Kentucky lake near big bear resort. Yeah I'm not too far from western Kentucky, I'm 30 miles south of cape girardeau mo fairly close to the Mississippi river. Got plenty of coyotes here. I try to keep about ten barn cats to take care of rodents on the farm but coyotes get four or five every winter.
