Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Coyotes

Rio, you bloody bastid.

Good shootin'.

Traffic is getting bad around here, had a road rage fight with a coon this morning coon lost, Coyote was eating on a road kill pig one of the ranch hands hit with his pickup last night, greedy bitch was as full as a tick, but didn't look up when i saw her this morning, big mistake. Rio7

I think it all depends on where you are. The local Mennonites around me hunt and trap them religiously, especially at night, and have put a dent in the numbers. Also, the ones they don't kill become educated, and are almost impossible to call in. I used to see coyotes on a regular basis while out doing farm work, and have killed a bunch of them that way, but that's just not the case anymore. If you get outside of the Mennonite farms, you can can still find them, and in pretty good numbers too.

Got this one way out there, this morning, mousing in north ranch cow pasture. 6.5 PRC will each out and get -um. Rio7

So far a I’ve seen a

6 Creed and a 6.5 PRC…. What is the AR chambering ?

How do you like your Helix Action ? I shoot a Vector that is chambered in 6 Creed as well… but I put a Krieger barrel on it.

The PRC is a Templar from Georges shop.. nice.

I’m building a AR10.. I’ll most likely do a 6 creed or 6.5 creed barrel, and a 358 barrel….

Spotshooter, Ar is just a plan .223, parts gun. Rio7

Rio. I built a 6.8 SPC II AR a few years back that I used on deer and Yotes, they don’t shoot as flat as a 223 but they anchor them more like a 6mm. I’ve always liked 243 like terminal performance on yotes.

Nice rigs.

Spotshooter, At one time or other i have used just about every chambering from .204 to 300 WBY rifle to kill Coyotes, but I have never found any Chambering that worked better than a fast twist .243 or .243 A.I. Rio7

Couple More. Rio7

Is that about 18 off 1 cow, imagine if it was watched at night also. You sure piled them up, good job and good shootin.

RIO,
Been following this post and I'm kicking around the idea of an AR in 6 Creed primarily for yotes and was wondering what twist / bullet you've had good luck with in the .243.....thinking a 6 creed would basically perform the same.
Great post by the way and keep up the culling!

DANNYL, Cow's been gone for a week, but i am still killing every Coyote I can get a shot at.

rookieatbest, I'm new to the 6mm Creed, and have used Hornaday 103 gr. ELD-X only so far, as i got 2 cases when i traded for the 6mm, my 6mm is torn down now waiting on new bottom metal and a box mag. mine is a 1 X 8 twist, love the rifle but hate the blind Mag. should have it up and running next week. as for a AR-6mm i don't know how that would work?? my only ARs are .223.



Shot this one this morning, Texas Heart shot, at about 80 yrds. Rio7

Impressive!

Don't HOWL at me!! Rio7

Add another one to the pile. Rio7

RIO7, how many of the coyotes do you get within a year? And how do you get them? From a treestand, out of blind at the ground, just by happenstance from the Jeep? Do you bait them?

Rio, you're on a mission.

SKane, This ranch is like a lunch bucket for predators.

Elmer Keith, I keep a log book on every thing i kill, last year i killed 332 Coyotes 63 Bobcats, Called in, or over a dead critter,, or i see them while i am traveling around the ranch checking fence, and water wells, there are 54 water wells, spread out over the ranch . Rio7

Elmer Keith, in 2000 I kept a log book, and tallied the # of Coyotes I killed, that year, Total 332 Coyotes, 63 Bobcats, I didn't count the Pigs But Should have , I try to call Coyotes and Bobcats, when ever i can, and if i find a dead critter that's not all eaten up i will set up for a little while and try to get some predators off it,i also shoot coyotes i see when i am traveling around the ranch, checking wells and fence.

Awesome.
