I went out calling this afternoon and on the first stand had a nice adult male come into Pup Distress 3 sound.

This coyote stopped about 20 yards from my CS-24 and the Nosler 55 gr BT bullet out of my 243 Win put him down hard.

On the second stand I set up in some thicker cover and was hoping to call in a bobcat to take some pictures of it. I started out with Bay Bee Cottontail sound on volume 30 for a few minutes.

Then I turned the volume up to 40. About 30 seconds later I moved my eyes to the right of my Fury and when I looked back there was a coyote at my Fury and FoxJack decoy. So I started taking pictures.

When I took this last picture I should have dropped my camera and picked up my shotgun but I didn't, I took a few more pictures. When I did drop the camera and picked up the shotgun I was one second to late. This coyote got away. :oops:

Great pics Bob! But while you have the CS24, why do you use the Fury as well? Is there an advantage to one or the other? It looks as though you have the sp55 speaker hooked up to the 24 as well. Just wondering about your E call choices. Thanks for any advice. Good job on the Coyote!

Grant, I switched to the Fury because it had the FoxJack decoy hooked up to it and I want to get some pictures of the decoy in action. I use SP-55 speakers with both the CS-24 and the Fury.

Frank, yes it was a 243 Nosler BT 55 gr Lead Free bullet. I shot the coyote in the chest at about 60 yards. There was a hole about the size of a baseball in the top of the coyotes back. I think this Nosler Lead Free bullet is going to work pretty good.

Nice pics, must have a real good camera. I just Loaded up 50 of the 55gr NBT-LF bullets for my 6mm. Hope to hammer a yote soon as I can get away from work

Great pictures and good shooting. Hey letting it go is like catch and release . You will get him next time. :good:

Yeah, one of the few times that a coyote put his nose right to my speaker, he left faster than he came in. And he was hauling axx when he came in to the call. Had other coyotes go crazy, circling the call, & one bobcat in particular sit right over the (muted) call as if waiting for the rabbit to pop out. He ended up jumping straight up in the air & hauling axx right towards us, when we scared him with a coyote vocal. They are funny to watch sometimes!

Good job and great picts.

It looks like the Yote MARKED the area after checking your caller out...interesting facial expressions. Did the live one scratch the ground in the 3rd picture, lol, looks like a female squatting to pee.

What is your camera?

That coyote was by the caller for less than 1 second. My camera takes six pictures per second.

My camera is a Canon EOS 50D with a Tamron 18 mm X 270 mm zoom lens.
