Predator Hunt 2020

[Hachimo]

I haven’t predator hunted in over 10 years. Used to go out fox/coyote hunting 3-4 nights a week. We had 5-6 fields and me amd my dad would stand back to back scanning fields with the caller goin. My dad got out of it so did I.  
 Its time to get back imto it thou. I seen a huge beautiful black and grey coyote last week durrin the day while I was walkin my property with my young nephews.  Game camrea pics are blowing up with a big pack of coyotes. And to make matters worse i woke up this morning to my flock of chickens ripped up across my property.  I declared war on all predators.

In the past I always used my mossberg 835 12gauge 3.5in with 00 buvkshots. I no longer have the gun.  When I missed I was using a single shot 12 gauge cause i didnt have my light.  I put my light on my mini-14. Its a tack driver at 200+yards and i have a bipod on it.  Ordered a second light for the wifes AR. But will b lookin to get a 6.5 creedmore in the future

What a night so far!  The wife and I sat in my treestand over the bait at 6:30pm. and playin coyote pup in distress. Brought an owl in 20yrds but no other action. Gave it an hour and came to the house. Let the dogs out to pee and I heard yelpin in the back.  Got the dogs in and sat by my pond solo.  Let out a coyote howl on the speaker and the woods lit up in a distance.  Ran to the house to get the wife with a second rifle and light but she heard how many were out there and no way she could do it.  Walked back to my m-14 on bipod and let the howl go again. She recorded out the window.  I’m thinkin I could hear a 10+pack. At least 4-5 adults and some juveniles.  What a rush. They flanked my right side where there was no light and probly seen me.  What a rush. Love it.  Gonna give it an hour and try down the road.

Spent the past night few nights out with the exception of wendsday night.  Last night felt good so after traveling an hour to my dads for my new flock of chickens. Got gome at 9pm and and sat on theberm of my pond.  Started with a quick male howl, then female howl, followed by female bark.  Waited 5 min and started rabbit in distressed call.  Heard a fox barkin so turned it low and waited for him to get into the cut.  Never happened.  Killed the call and waited 10 min and started my sequence over.  Female howl got them yipping so put the finisher on “pup in distress”.   5min in had one 200yrds comin head on.  Turned on gun light and killed spotlight and at 150yrds squeezed off a round.  He flipped and ran off.  It was dark and couldnt find blood. Went out after work today and found him 50yrds away.  One dog down and many more to go!  
   Just set up a spypoint over a deer carcuss 200yrds behind the house where I shot him. Hopefully i get wokin up in themiddle of thenight and get a shot out my dining room window no way this pack is gettin my new flock of chickens.

Wireless motion detector.
I put one out every winter over road kill deer. The receiver is in the bathroom next to my bedroom.
When the alarm goes off I shoot out of my kids bedroom. Have done it for ten years and usually kill a dozen a year.
Mines an older model but you’ll get the idea. https://www.myhosmart.com/products/1-2-mile-hosmart-rechargable-driveway-alarm-wireless-sensor-system-driveway-sensor-alert-system-weatherproof-security-outdoor-motion-sensor-detector1-receiver-and-2-sensors

Thanks Bill.  My kill spot is 240yrds from the house in a 40ft wide cut. Really dont want to bait them in any closer to the homestead. I’m thinkin of running a direct burial wire to a Tree with red lenses motion light next to the spypoint.  Whats ur thoughts about that? I’m worried that after callin night after night, there gonna learn and keep quiet
