Partner 500 gets prize in log

[Cut4fun]

Great day with the boys and dog tracking a coyote that decided not to stay down after being shot in the field. So a tracking we go for the prize. This is just a condensed version of the story for now.
27 year old Partner 500 retrieved my prize out of a old hollow log 500-600 yards from where it was shot. Cut a wedge and missed the location, so then I made a rip cut on the top and then done a bore and mill cut to take the side off. It was fun for me the boys and dog. Great day in the woods, now if Ohio State wins, the day will be complete.

Poor little joker, did he back in? Why did you shoot him?, do you have a farm or chickens etc?

Good job Cut4fun.Time in the woods with the kids,game,tracking and a Partner 500.Definately a good day.Tried to rep you but you know....

Lets just say no more chickens, to many coyotes and they get taken at night one by one.
Farmer across the road loses calves to them.
Family dog was attacked about a month ago by a pack of the bastards. Barn cats come up missing often.
They wake me up at 2AM beside the house yipping back and forth while hunting.
I have had them come at me in the field and was not scared, the males came at me till I bust their hide.

So dont give me any poor coyote BS. My land and they must all go IMHO!

I gotta side with you here. They are a pest around here. Hardly a fox to be found anymore due to the coyotes and they kill many family cats as well.

You forgot to say what you used to plug it to begin with. Several weeks ago let the dog out around 11. Could hear other dogs barking and coyotes barking back, probably 1/2 mile away.

People don't realize how dangerous a ''domestic'' Coyote really is.
What did you shoot it with?

 

[ASEMASTER]

the more we kill, the more there will be, that make's for more fun.
keep shooting straight.

Back in the early 90's used to have all kind of red foxes around my place, notta since about 98.

Here is the whole story

Well I was just telling Twinturboram about seeing alot of coyotes this year and I finally got one today with a heck of a story.
He was spotted out back at about 250-300 yards before noon today and dropped him with the first round with a hand loaded .223 or so I thought, he got back up and started to move and I let another one fly and I thought it was done deal.
I got up and put the rifle and extra rounds up and got the .22 trapping pistol out with 9 shots. Well I looked into the field and I couldn't see him and hollered to the wife to go upstairs and look out in the field and he was on the move falling over heading to the woods.
I recruited my boy and his friend (6th graders) to head out with me on the blood trail. We tracked it for about 300 yards through the field to where it entered the woods. I was tracking into tree tops, etc for about 75 yards and found a hollow log where it had went in and back out (tricked me) blood was found about 6 feet from log heading away, so back on the trail. After about another 100 yards or further we finally found another hollow log with 2 glowing eyes at the other end. No flashlight on hand and the eyes were moving. I started taking shots at the glowing eyes as they coming at me to within 3 feet of coming out of the log. I ran out of .22's and decide to head back for more rounds and a chainsaw.
When I got back the yote had crawled back into the log again. This time I brought a spotlight and was able to see the yote still alive. I put the light on him and started to pepper his head again and it started out at me again to within 3 feet. It stopped, turned around and went back into the log and then turned around and gave me a brisket shot. That shot finally finished off this tough hombre.
So then the Partner 500 come out to retrieve my prize.

Same up here the foxes I do see are all very large they have to be to survive.

 

[ford832]

Cool,but perhaps you could have saved time,effort and shells if you'd simply blocked off both ends of the log and went at it with the 500.
FWIW,Coyotes in eastern Canada aren't like the western breed.They are apparently a cross between the western coyote and the gray wolf.They are therefore much larger and a fox has no chance at all-and neither does anything else for that matter.They are incredibly adaptive and impossible to get rid of-until they finally munch their way into extinction-along with deer,fox,bobcat,lynx,snowshoe hare,partridge,pheasant and all their other favorite meals.

 

[hanniedog]

You need to step up to a 22/250 same bullet much better results.

 

[Cut4fun]

Ford, what fun would that be?
I am a adrenalin junkie and kneeling on both knees (like a catcher trying to stop a wild pitch) at the end of a dark log with glowing eyes coming at you while I have a pea shooter in hand trying to stop it was very interesting.
Next time big hank or crazy sally will be on the hip to dispatch the varmint.

I agree with you on that one. I wanted a .243 when I ended up with the .223 from a friend at work. The price was right and not really what I wanted, but I couldn't pass it up and settled for it. Thats why I handload some hot little loads for it.

Oh you never seen a big prairie yote then. Everything is bigger out here just like in Texas The Coyote is the most successful animal in North America as to taking over new range

 

[Cut4fun]

Here is a few from the last 2 years or more.
I even have some pics of one I took in a snow storm and tracked it by the snow and my blonde lab chased the yote down and knocked it over and held it down till i got to it to finish the deed.
He was one heck of a dog and was brought up today how he would have went in the log and dragged that one out today. Unlike the one that just looked at me like I was crazy telling him to go get'em.

 

[Cut4fun]

Austin1, here are the pics of the winter hunt with the meanest lab I have ever seen.
If there ever was such a thing as a guard lab or attack lab this one was it. I would say sick'em and he was on it, no questions ask.
Still the #1 dog in my memory. Died from cancer.

Nice pic's! I do all my Yote hunting in the winter months. The ones up here are more gray, wish I had some pic's.

 

[joesawer]

Nice pics and storys. Tried to rep but have to spread the love first.
A friend of mine has a very large female yellow lab who hates coyotes. They don't stand a chance if she spots one close enough for her to catch.
