Sometimes it's Dec. by the time I get serious about calling dogs, but I've had the itch lately so I hoofed it down to one of my favorite spots. Didn't see as much sign as usual, and I had one come in that wouldn't ever come inside 1000 yards or so, so I suspect that there has been some guys callin recently in the area...or maybe all the hiking I was doing made them smell me from a mile away.
I did get this young female though. I hit her a little far back from about 340 yards and she piled up at about 75 yards. I finished her off when I walked up to her, but I was pleased with the killing effort of the .204 ruger as she was not in any shape to go anywhere even with a less than desirable shot. I was shooting federal factory with 39 grain blitzkings. I'm in the process of getting set up to hand load and when I do I am going to try the nosler bt and see how the compare with the blitzking and the vmax. Anyone have coyote experience with the BT?
