Coyotes (with pictures) taken with a lever gun.

Ok, lever operated bolt action (and with a scope) but it isn't something you see often. I've been reading the Forum here for a few years and thought you might enjoy. Both were spot and stalked.

BLR in .308 shooting 150 gr with a Weaver 4x. I was thinking of selling it but I do like to carry it and have good luck with it in the field rather than at the range.

Happy New Year.

Good shooting that #2 yote looks to be a pale that will bring some extra $ from the fur buyers and looks like the yotes Ive taken along the hi-line. danny

Nice hunt... Great choices!... BLR 308 w/ Fixed power scope! & back up irons..

[Rusty]

Nice shootin! Welcome to leverguns... you sure know how to make an entrance.

[Old Time Hunter]

Nice! Welcome...would you be so kind as to offer hints into the hunting strategy, seems as thought the only time I see them is when I do not have a rifle in my hand.

[Mescalero]

Come to New Mexico.

[JReed]

Now that is my kind of introduction . Welcome to the fire. How are you hunting them are you calling them in or just shooting them as you find them?

[AJMD429]

Nice! Welcome...would you be so kind as to offer hints into the hunting strategy, seems as thought the only time I see them is when I do not have a rifle in my hand.

Step One - have a rifle in your hand all the time...

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Seriously, 'strategies' shared for hunting 'yotes would be appreciated. My son stalked one and killed it with his deer-hunting bow, which I still find incredible.

P.S. I took the liberty of shrinking the pics so they'd post directly...

Welcome and great start

Thanks.

These are both from our prairie farm in Alberta. I can't claim any really calling prowess except that the First Time I did a call last December 3 coyotes showed up almost at my feet (there was thick cover just ahead of me): I then proceeded to screw up the Shooting.

The Blonde Coyote showed up after I had stopped calling and was about to give up. Just sauntered down to take a drink from the Dugout: I couldn't believe my luck.

The second saw me come in (I think) to my first calling stand from quite some distance. Nothing happened during calling and as I was getting up to leave saw it again running away down another coulee. I figured what the Hey and went for a walk to have a look. Tracks led into a large thorn thicket...but I didn't see any tracks out. That's when it busted out running uphill. Dropped onto my butt into the Snow for the Shot.

I am also learning that predator calling gets deer moving too.

BTW my .22 is a BL-22 and my other .22 is a Vickers Empire. My last bolt action is up for sale: just don't like them for some reason.

Cheers.
