One more this evening....

Post by Gmoney »

Got one more coyote tonight this time in College Station....
Switched to T load in the shotgun as buckshot has just not been anchoring them for me like I want and the switch was good, of course the shot was only 10 yards....

Rabbit duet, the go-to call did it again for me......

I was a tad hot in my 1 piece as you can see, especially after dragging this big guy for 1/4 mile....
I estimated the male at a minimum of 30 pounds, probably 35 or so....pretty good sized coyote for around here and he was well furred.......

Enjoy the pics....

SWEET! Wish I could get 1 to come to 10yrds. That would be handgun territory! I also REEEEALLY wish I was too warm in my huntin grounds. Sounds like you got it all down there! Good job and keep it coming.

I love to use my 204 but sometimes have to revert to the ol Shot gun I use #4 buck never heard of T shot. That is a fancy looking Rifle! Do you hunt with a partner or do you pack to guns. There has been times I've thought of going out with both at night because you never know how it is going to work out!

Ryan,

That's my partner's AR.....
T shot is heavy goose loads that I've found to work quite effectively. They are the step above BBB....the 4 Buck just hasn't been anchoring them like I like so I tried some T and it worked well....

Thanks for the kind words folks....

Get your self a wall bracket for a mag light and tape a mag light with a red or amber lens to your shot gun barrel it works good when you have no partner.

Ryan,

We were hunting in the daylight but the picture taken was just as it was getting dark...

I rig the shotgun up in a similar manner but it may or may not require the use of duct tape.... :oops:

GW :wink:
