The nice thing about a 22-250 as a coyote cartridge, is it doubles for elk in the Montana Big Game season in your 7-08 rifle.

What you don't seem to understand is that when we joke around about elk hunting, it is funny. When you and your pathetic sense of humor emerge, everyone leaves...

Any tips for a newbie?

Any suggestions on calls? I have seen some electronic calls, I think they were called fox something....
Is early morning the best time, or mid day?


Really bad.

I saw this guy this afternoon in a field. I pulled over to watch him. He kept his nose to the ground like he was smelling the ground, then I'd see him pick something up and chew on it and then go back to sniffing the ground. Not sure what he was doing though. Anyway I watched him for a long time and then something scared him and he took off towards the road and as he got to the middle a big dodge truck came by and ran him over killing him instantly. I loaded him up and thought I would try to skin him, but he smelled so bad that I couldn't stomach the smell. He smelled really bad, like he was rolling in something dead....
Do they always smell this bad?
And does this count as my 1st coyote since I picked him up?

Newbies, sheesh..... Let him lay in the back of your truck for about a week before skinning him. 5-7 days will just about do it (in warmish temps), as far as 'airing him out' goes. Be sure to wait long enuff for his belly to turn green first.

FYI, State Troopers frown on shooting coyotes from even a small country road. Always best if there's no bullet hole. *wink wink*

^^^^^ Thanks...... I don't want any trouble with the police. They don't always have a great sense of humor.

Gonzo, you won't much notice the smell with a clothespin on your nose after you stuff your nostrils with Vicks, if you don't want to wait for the stink to dissipate naturally.

Can you sew a coyotes tail back on if you accidentally pull it off?.... YouTube videos cover a lot of info but they failed to mention this part. He must have pooped all of his guts out when that truck hit him. He was pretty stinky though. Will Vicks help me with skinning?

I myself don't shoot that well at 400 yd coyotes...I missed one today 3 shots at 400+. I envy anyone who can shoot from hunting possision that far..
I wasn't calling rather moving from one farm to another and saw him from the pickup...pickup doors in the wind make for a poor rest...

Just breathe out of your mouth.

Thats my standard for most anything from cleaning out a dead calf from inside the cow, to changing diapers, to nasty fire and ambulance calls.


About the only thing that still makes me gag using that method is when you have a cow in the head catch in the barn. Its usually well below freezing and you either just pulled a calf or are about to pull a calf and ole momma cow empties her bladder.

You are enveloped in a cloud of piss/steam and can taste the smell.......there is something about being in a cloud of piss steam so dense that you cant see through it.
