On a coyote stand...

I put my son behind me to cover my six and a small area I couldn't see due to a rise in the field. Around the 12 minute mark I heard one shot but no "WHOMP" and my temper started to climb. Then I heard shot #2 and again no "WHOMP" and at the same moment I see a dog sprinting right to left about 500yds. out. I yell over my shoulder "Gee, son. Great job. He's just over a 1/4 mile away!"

He replies: "I GOT A DEAD FREAKIN' DOG 40 YARDS IN FRONT OF ME!"

Whoops...






Travis

pretty good tasting crow


you should whacked that 500 yard song dog to let him know who's da man

Nice, I hate yotes...I drilled 1 at 42 yards last year with my bow.

I was going to but I read on the internet that shooting dogs at that range and killing them is an unsuccessful attempt at calling dogs.

So... you know. There's that.




Travis

I knew if you were eating crow someone had to have shot it for you.

Go fix your avatar, dumb fugk.




Dave

Yes, and at that distance there is always the improper possibility of gut or ass shooting one and then really having to eat crow.
Great looking pelt there.

Good looking yote. If you were going to put up the pelt and sell it, what would it bring?

That's a nice pale hide.....I hope you skinned it....

Is it OK to wear Under Armour again? I can't keep up with all the Campfire boycotts.

Handsome kid, prob'ly ain't yours.

Flave Junior connects!


F yeah boyz....







(I missed an absolute gimme out the window of the pickup this morning)
(ghost yote)

I think they're bringing around $80 this year but I haven't sold any.




Travis

No choice. Pacific was closed. They usually buy in the round.




Dave

I think it's ok to wear if you purchased pre-boycott.




Clark

Good fer the kid! That's a healthy looking song dog.

Three quick stands this morning and saw four dogs, shot at and killed one. Not too bad but I was hoping for a dynamite morning.



Dave

I'm just glad he's white.




Clark

S

You could of used your winch, to winch that coyote 500yds back to your truck.. missed out on an opportunity for sure. Maybe next time..

Nice coyote... Those Montana dogs are something else..

That sounds about right.

Good job young 'Flave!

Must be a pretty proud papa! Is that your Howa Mini he was using?

Hell yah!

Charlie,

How's the trapping been?

223? Load? I like details. Thanks

You had a lot better sense of humor before Jr. shot better than you.

Frank

That is a full-size coyote, little more yellow/tan than the grey one I saw.

Nice! Makes for a great day!

Haven't started yet......Cat season doesn't open for another month.

A good Dad would get him a full body mount for Christmas...

What are you using to call?

When can you run your hounds?

lol nicely played

Thank God I'm not one of those. Would get expensive.




Dave

I was using a Song Dog this morning.




Travis

Doesn't matter whether you're calling.....trapping......or treeing em with dogs...Cat seasons open from mid Dec. to mid Feb.

There's also different seasons for chasing Lions and Bear with dogs but I'm getting too old for those long races in the high country so me and my little Cur Dog stick with the occasional Bobcat down here in the river drainage's.

Having now met you I understand.

No kidding. GTFA.

That's what I was wonderin', too.

LMFAO!

Correct on the Mini. We love that thing.




Travis

Yes. .223. The Fiocchi stuff with the 50gr. V-Max. Great stuff.

He hit it both times. I don't think I heard the hits due to it being at the bottom of that rise.

He said he shot it twice so he "wouldn't have to hear about it" if it got away. And people say being an ass hole has no benefit. Grin...




Dave

Hahahaha

poor kid

lol

Did not hear it because of the rise? Or maybe something else?


Old as chit perhaps.

Nice job, now go buy that boy an iPhone 10.

Btw....if you were half the ass hole you claim to be I don’t think that fine young man would spend as much time with you as he does. Good job either way. 👍

that was some quick thinking, on yer part !

Cheers!


DMc : )

“I only open my mouth to change feet”.

If you should need pointers, pm me.... 😐

That is a good looking coyote. Not sure I've seen one that pale looking. I'm jealous of the coyotes you Canucks have

Don't cyber-bully me.





Dave

If you spent any time with me you'd probably see things differently.




Dave

Yeah they're gorgeous up here.

I had his first one tanned. It's a bigunn.





Dave

Nah. I think I got it down at this point.

Yep.

Ready for Thanksgiving!

And Christmas.

Looks like you're raising the lad properly.

Good for both of you.

Thanks.

Did you see I bloodied the Colt last week?

She's a sweetheart.

Excellent work 'flave!

Thanks, Hank Man.





Dave

Looks like it shoots and that you can shoot it.

Shot ya a pm flave

I'm sorry.

Is the tree house the Montana version of a Widow's Watch?

(Pretty cool looking, btw).

DeFlave: Good work there on the Coyote and the son raising!
That Coyote looks big to me - I remember back in the 1960's when a big "Montana White" Coyote would bring $200.00 at the Seattle fur buyers!
And that was when $200.00 meant something.
Again compliments to you and please be passed to your son.
Keep after'em.
Hold into the wind

Watched my boy miss a beauty like that at 120 yards last year.

I give him chit about it every time that 243 comes out of the case.

Glad you guys connected tho.
