One of our old long horn cows died, yesterday this morning i set up just before day light, at 521 yards from her, when it got light enough to see there was a coyote on the other side her of having breakfast, i waited till i could see good and when he popped his head up i drilled him, about 1/2 hour later in came a female, she gave me a good shot so i drilled her, used a new rifle i sited in yesterday, and doped to 700 yards, 6mm creed, 103 eld-x, about like shooting a .243 A.I. fun way to start the day.

Properly incentivized and managed coyotes.

For some reason, coyotes rarely eat on dead cattle here, or at least large ones. Dead calves and deer are all gobbled up by them overnight, but I've seen cows lay there all winter and never be touched, yet there was coyote tracks all around them. I can't tell you how many dead cows I set up and hunted over until I figured out it was not going to happen.

I've often wondered if their hide was too tough for a coyote to tear through and get to the good parts.

JamesJr, We cut the head off this old cow, maybe that makes a starting place for Coyotes, Rio7

I suspect those won't be the last either. Stay at 'em!

I killed an even dozen off a dead horse the year I got my 17 Hornet. But I split him open to allow some gut to fall out and then drug him behind the tractor for a few miles to lay a scent trail. Have another cripple that needs put down, and I should probably shoot him and do the same. Had a vet put down my kids pony one year and the coyotes wouldn't touch it. I reckon the drug made him smell/taste funny......

Depends what the cow died from. I think the coyote can sense those that die from disease.

A bud had a few cattle die one fall from anaplasmosis. Crows were the only thing that would touch those cattle. Possums wouldn't even fugg w em.

I really like the 6mm Creed. I have a 243AI but don't use it much as it has a 10 twist (when I built it 100 gr were about as heavy as anyone was making). This makes me want to get my 6mm CM out and play with it some more.
