Well some nights just don’t pan out the way we want. But we managed number 8 for August. We need two more to stay on track for the month. Good thing is we called two back in after stirring up a field like nobody’s business. Rory making a clutch shot on a 33lb male kept us from being skunked. I shoulder the pain of two missed coyotes on one stand. 🤦♂️ Congratulations Rory for another one in the books for you.
40 minutes into our set up we decided to start backing out. Rory is heading to the caller and John picks up a dog. Likely something we been watching the entire stand but she wouldn’t commit. Of course she waits for us to be packing up. Spooked she started heading out. A little howl and she stopped to look. John, Shawn and I sent one and she didn’t take another step. Suppressed hunting is amazing. Number 7 for August. Hoping we can keep this pace until the end of the year.
Checking out a piece of property that was forwarded to me from some Garrett County friends, we called in this beautiful girl. She’s going to the taxidermist also. What a beautiful coyote! Lagging behind, we are up to 5 for the month of August. Photos from John Sagals coyote is not available for the website.
Trying a new place in PA and things just weren’t moving as well as they should have. Needless to say Rory spotted this one and needless to say after a few hiccups I put some lead in her.
All I can say is Holy Shit! I didn’t get my first coyote mounted wanting to wait for something really special. 5 years of killing dogs. Years of trying and failing before that. This beauty comes out and gave me a shot. It was a tough shot but the stars were aligned. Many thanks to Rory McCarty for giving me the opportunity to kill this rare black beauty.
Saw 3 entering the field at 315 yards. Got on the caller and pulled two in to a little over 100 yards. One easy broadside shot, one head shot. Looks like the head shot may have lived to see another day.
