Was the coyote coming or going?

Randy, I am sure it was GOING to that big coyote playground in the sky....

Was checking the cows yesterday afternoon, and knowing that coyotes like to hang close to cattle, took my rifle and call along. This was the result....

Nice work fellow hunters. I'd love to hunt coyotes one day.
In Europe we do not have them, but we have something similar called jackal. They, together with foxes, make huge damage to small game and on roe deers.
My shot from January 1 this year.





Here is how jackalt looks compared to a fox.

That’s awesome! What rifle/cartridge are you shooting?

Tnx That was my first jackals ever, but many foxes beafor it. I use .223 Remington. Rifle is Interarms Mark X MZ .223rem or Zastava m85.
Ammo I use is Fiocchy 55gr EPN (Vmax) or sometimes Hornady Super Performans Vmax 53gr.

Good job angler. Do you call the jackals in? I knew they were in Africa, but didn't know about Europe.

They are know as Golden jackal. Its simular to Africans jackal but not the same. European has shorter ears and tail.
Sometimes we call them in, sometimes we are lamping, sometimes we hunt by waiting on some convenient places.
African jackal


Golden jackal

Those jackals look pretty much interchangeable with a coyote. Pretty cool.

You deserve some rakia! Can you shoot vlk (byk)?

Always amazes me how much the Golden Jackals look like our coyotes...

I have called and killed a number of the African Jackals...






And a bunch of our coyotes, both in the northern states and Texas.

@ingwe: You have very beautiful rifle.

Some of foxes which I have shoot in november 2018th.

One male fox at 150m or 492 feet.




The other one at 182m or 597 feet. My farthest hit so far on fox.




Tnx vlk (byk)?I did not understand you completely.

angler...NICE!

Of all the hunting Ive done, I've never shot a red fox! What rifle/cartridge are you shooting for them?


Have shot a lot of Grey Fox..here is one nights calling last month in Texas..

@ingwe: Nice work, well done, 7 foxes for one night is awersome.
Our (2 frends I hunt whit and mine) highest score is 4 foexes and 1 jackal.
I use .223 Remington. Ammo I use is Fiocchi 55gr EPN or Hornady 53/55rg Vm,ax. Rifle is Interarms Mark X MZ .223rem equipped with Schmidt&Bender Zenith 3-12x50 FD.
What do you use?

I thought byk is vuk or wolf. Here is the US Atlantic states we do not have wolves. Our coyotes are said to have a little wolf blood, and are bigger than western coyotes. I looked up wolves and it said they were not protected in Serbia.
My folks always told me wolves were an issue for sheep herders in Slovakia. And naturally the folk tales and Slavic symbols of the wolf are in my mind, but I never saw one in the wild.
Same for red deer, and wild boars, we don't have them here in Pennsylvania. We do have red and grey fox. Red live near field, and grey like woods.

And this will disturb you. Here in the US it is illegal to make distilled liqueur like rakia. It is legal to make wine and beer, but federal law prohibits liqueur unless you start a business. It can be bought, but not made legally.

oh вук is vuk or wolf just diferent leathers, cyrillic and latin alphabet.
I know it is illegal to make distilled liqueur in the US, just like in moste of EU to. In Serbia production is allowed for personal needments.
If you wish to sale rakia than you need to star business to. But no one controls us what our needs are. Ban on making rakia will caus same thing like weapons registration in US It would be a general rebellion.

Yes we have wolfs in Serbia and they are legal to hunt. In part of country whet I live, which is called Vojvodina (norht of river Danube), we dont have wolfs because it is a plain part of the country.
In part of the country south of the Danube river ther is wolfs. Usually they live high in the mountains, but in the winter they go down to the countryside and cause damage to livestock.
Hunting wolf is very demanding and much harder than hunting jackals, foxes and bears.
would you like to read about our law on weapons and ammunition?

Angler-
Very interesting reading about your hunting in Serbia. I was unaware of the jackels in the the Balkan states. I currently live in Germany and I would love to learn more about your hunting and gun laws in your country.
