Coyotes,snakes,shotguns PB's ,Calling again

The Boy and I took advantage of the Nice day Sunday.4:00 AM off
we went, Loma was our starting point. The mud was not much of an
issue and the grass dried out shortly after sun up, light wind
but it was from every direction no set pattern. About the time
we set up it would change making calling challenging. Even with
that it was a tremendous day. We stopped to get out stuff ready
and jumped a coyote along side the road, My son, dirty Haired it
with his 22 carry, Nice start. Our first set we had our rifles
and sitting a big slopping hill on to a big drainage. We called
a long time and just before we gave up I saw a dog coming in at
a full run. This time of year is when you use all coyote sounds
and challenges, the respond like that ,"At a full run". Right up
to MY lap ,no time to try to stop him so at 20 yards I put the X
just under his chin and shot, Yaw I missed!!! He swung over and
ran in front of Kristopher. He had his 223 over 12 gauge. The
Boy shot at him with the 12 and hit him in the butt and then
tried a running at mock 3 shot with the 223 but couldn't
connect, didn't get him. With that info we decided that I wound
use my 870 and my "F" shot coyote killers and my son would use
the target 243. The next stand we did the same thing, up on a
steep bank looking in to a huge drainage. He called for 11
minuets and we had two coyote flying in to the call. We where
sitting about 50 yards apart separated by a small ridge. They
climbed the almost vertical dirt brake like running across a Gym
floor. In point one second I had a coyote 55 yards to my left
about ready to clear the top and out of my view. My 870 barked
and all four legs folded and the coyote rolled back to the
bottom. As the dust was still falling I hear the 243 target
rifle shoot, then again, then again but this time I heard the
tell tail sound of a hit. There two and both under 60 yards from
us. Although by the time he hit his it was nearer 200 yards. It
was running so fast It flipped end over end three times then
skidded another five feet. VERY impressive. From then on I
carried the 12 and he took the 243. The wind was not our friend
for next several sets and the sun was really HOT. At noon the
clouds started to build and threaten rain, we pressed on and did
some more . The last set we hunted a favorite spot but we did it
in a way we never did before. The coyotes always come from where
we decided to set up. We called a Long time nothing But yup when
we got up a coyote ran off BEHIND us no telling how long he had
been there. The boy tried a running shot or two but it's still
out there sneaking around. All In all a great day of calling,
six dogs four shot and two killed and we left two for seed. [8(]
