For the season. I've never killed 100 in a single winter before and I guess technically winter is over, but dangit I'm so close. Yesterday morning they were coming to the call good. 4 came on the 1st stand, blank on the 2nd, 5 on the 3rd and the single on the 4th was the only female that I killed.

Well done! IMO, it takes lots of skill, time, good numbers of coyotes, and some good shooting for a guy to reach numbers like that.
Congrats!

Hey, TR......Was you wishing you had the AR along? It's funny, I've run the auto long enough that I've forgotten to throw another round in after shooting a couple of times now. But yeah, on the 3rd stand 4 came together and I had'em lined up shoulder to shoulder at about 55 yards, and I shot the first and none of the others stood around, or came back, and I'd like to think I might've maybe gotten another 1 of them with the auto, but that's just a maybe because they didn't have far to get back over a hill. The 5th coyote on the 3rd stand came in by itself from behind me and started challenge barkin' me. Got him in to about 200 yards and zapped him. My 700 is a .17 Rem. It's been a heck of a season for me. Gained access to a few new spots and lost access to a couple as well. The rancher where I hunted yesterday was surprised that I killed 5 since he hadn't been seeing that many around his cattle and calves, but he was glad to see 5 get taken out.

I am sure glad to see someone killing coyotes because I have lost 4 dachshund's to them where I live and have been unable to call any up to get a shot at them. They have killed a couple of my neighbors dogs also.

Way to go TR. I kinda in the same mind set. I am at 99 right now and took some guys out last week-end and we had no luck at all except killing 4 big rattlers. I would like to get to the 100 mark though. I ended up with around 110 last year so the century mark two years in a row would be special.

I'd give up the century mark if I could kill as many bobcats as you do.
