Title: Traditional Coyotes
Post by: LPM on April 21, 2009, 07:36:00 PM: I never pass the chance to take a crack at a coyote. I called this one in by kissing the palm of my hand. He jumped up on a log about 15 yds from my stand and I promptly shot him off it. I've shot a number of coyotes by calling this way while deer hunting.

I'ts been a while since I tried posting a picture so I was playing around with this one and thought .....What the heck someone might get a kick out of it.

Post by: centaur on April 21, 2009, 07:53:00 PM: Good job. Songdogs are a tough target for a bow. I got one several; well, okay, many years ago in a similar manner that you used (the old kissing the back of my hand method). Nice picture and nice trophy.

A trophy for sure. :thumbsup:

Post by: MikeW on April 21, 2009, 09:44:00 PM: Nice, I love hunting yotes with a bow.
Taking the squeaker out of a dog toy and putting that in your mouth works well too,plus you don't have to move.

Post by: BRONZ on April 21, 2009, 09:56:00 PM: Nice job. I think yotes are one of hardest critters to take with a bow and arrow. They have the ears and nose of a whitetail, eyes like a turkey, and never seem to hold still for very long.

Post by: BMOELLER on April 22, 2009, 08:50:00 PM: I'd about take that over any buck with a bow. They are alot harder to draw on.

Post by: swp on April 22, 2009, 08:53:00 PM: Congrats! I stuck one this past winter, they never stand still very long.

Also from this years Texas Sweat is Mr. Irish himself and a mighty fine yote as well. Two yotes with trad gear in one week is dang good in my books. Couple of fine trophys. Not bad guys either! :goldtooth:

Post by: Herdbull on April 23, 2009, 09:49:00 PM: Curt- You are a good shot if you were shooting for the shorter nematode in the left vetricle. Heck I can barley concentrate on the ribcage with all of that hair. Ha! Good for you. :>) Mike
Title: Re: Traditional Coyotes
Post by: bill langer on April 23, 2009, 11:17:00 PM: I've taken a few coyote, the most memorable was in eastern Montana,(mid 90's) with my trusty Blackwidow SA111. I had just watched one of the Wensel bros. drop the other one off, on what I think was a deer drive. We had hunting rights on a bordering property. Approx. 20 min. later a lone coyote tried to slip past my stand, took her in the left eye (head shot was all I had) (lucky)!!
Thanks Gene and Barry!! When I get a new printer-will post the pix...

I killed this one with a selfbow this past fall. I've killed a few, but this one is the first I've connected with by bow. I was very happy with this...true trophy's indeed.
Title: Re: Traditional Coyotes
Post by: Shinken on April 24, 2009, 12:45:00 AM: Wow Mark!

That "dog" would make a *nice* lookin' quiver - a perfect accessory for that snaked selfbow and then you could retire your Kwikee Quiver!

;~)

Shoot straight, Shinken
