.22 short? Seriously? Did you have to beat it to death to finish it?22 short, 3 yds.
I'm pretty much a mountain man.

Heck that's all I've used the last two years now lol. Guess that just means I need to get my new foxpro out more though lol.22 short? Seriously? Did you have to beat it to death to finish it?
I get a few each year, killed a 45lb male a few years ago this color and pelted him out. 3rd I’ve seen and 2nd I’ve shotI’ve got a couple in the last few weeks. My 17 Remington is money!

Really odd weekend. In the daylight we had several pairs and singles flying in to howls and mating stuff. In the dark, we saw yotes within calling range on every set and none of them gave a shit.
Here's one of two triples.

My brother (Skeletor) is running a 24" 22 Creed. It looks really short because it's a Desert Tech SRS (bullpup).I've noticed similar activity too. I had stopped calling last night for over an hour because it seemed pointless, and then two just happened to come through my area.
What gun setups are those? Specifically wondering what cartridge and barrel length.
Good to know I'm not the only one who's going 24" plus a can.My brother (Skeletor) is running a 24" 22 Creed. It looks really short because it's a Desert Tech SRS (bullpup).
I'm running a 22" 6 Creed AR10.
It will be good training for the revolutionary War. If you strap a bayonet to the can, you can probably stab one at 50y. Please strap a go pro on that musket before you do though.Good to know I'm not the only one who's going 24" plus a can.

Tell me about that barrel please. Looks like a Curtis Axiom action? I'm looking at ordering a CF pre-fit for mine now. Also, what cartridge are you shooting?Two more from last night
Barrel is a X-Caliber 16” 1-8t there “light weight” contour which is like .930 at muzzle. Action is a Kelby Atlas Tactical SA and this rifle is a 22 creed.Tell me about that barrel please.

I had a similar poi with a .308 168 ELD-M bullet. Sucker took off, but I landed a serious follow up shot. So not sure how far it would have run.300 Norma Magnum, 215gr Hybrid at 255 yards. Tough old gal still ran ~35 yards after I literally knocked the lungs right out of her (as in there were chunks of lung deposited from impact to where she finally stopped).
Hopefully the footage works because I blasted her right at first light, and you lose a lot of brightness with the Triggercam.

Take away: double lung shot and they’ll take off running, if only for a short while.
Tough creatures…
Also, increasing the exposure, black point, and shadow on your Triggercam vid can really help with dark videos. I do this on my iPhone and it makes very dawn/dusk videos at least discernible
300 Norma Magnum
I am, of course, joking. The fact is 300 Norma Mag is, ah, enough for coyotes and that’s putting it rather lightly.
Yeah, she was tough.Well, I just watched the "video" from that 300 Norma kill.
It was too dark for the Triggercam to pick up worth a damn. I maxed out brightness and contrast in my editing software and you can barely make out what's going on.
That damn coyote took that round right on the point of the shoulder (quartering to) and shrugged it off (after she got up). Ho-Lee-Fuk was she tough.
I counted at least 6 pieces of lung this morning between where I shot her and where she finally ended up.

I was just using 300NM because I have my buddy's MRAD SMR for another month. He left it with me to sort out a couple issues and develop a load (no actual issues were present). That thing is way more accurate than I would have imagined.
I want my own now.
I'll make it a dedicated coyote rig
Yeah, she was tough.
You hit me in the lungs with that fucking 300NM and I’m going down like a sack of shit and if I’m lucky, just laying there wondering wtf? for a couple secs and then passing out for good lol
