2011 Montana Coyotes

[THWAK1]

I got a FOXPRO Firestorm for Christmas '10 from my girlfriend (yeah, she's a keeper). I had always used mouth calls for calling in yotes but had heard good things about the FOXPRO's so I was excited to try it out. I was an electronic game call rookie!

My dad and I hunted coyotes mid-January though mid-March. On our very first set-up in January, I called in a single and on the next set-up I called in a double; we killed all 3! The next two months we had great success calling in and killing 26 coyotes! We also called in at least that many that we either missed or we didn't shoot at because I was trying to coax in others that we could see to within range! We ended the season with a great double also.

It was an awesome time and I look forward to hunting coyotes full time this next winter! Here are some pictures I took of our success:

Nice!
Electric calls are going to be legal on wolves, you should head over here and give it a try this winter.

Actually it is not legal to use e callers for wolves. No recorded sounds on any big game species.

Nice looking coyotes.

Nice pics, what's your Dad shooting for a rig?

I've called in a couple of groups of wolves now and can't wait for snow to get after them...grin

Big Luke,

My coyote rifle is a Winchester Model 70 XTR Sporter Varmint in .223 I bought many years ago. I shoot 40 gr V-MAX handloads.

Mato,

My dad carried a few different rifles this past winter, depending on his mood I guess, LOL. 6mm, 25.06, .308, 7MM I think...

I carried my BOWTECH a couple of times but never got a chance at a close one on those days. The days I didn't carry it, we called in some really close ones! Guess that's how it goes.

Oh, and I almost forgot. I spent the coyote season breaking in a pair of Kenetrek Mountain Extreme 400's that my girlfriend also bought me for Christmas. Great boots...and girlfriend!

love the look of your coyotes,great job.BTW this would be a good year to get after them as the prices should be up on the pelts.

Yikes, nice work. If i was a wolf, i'd be pretty worried about where you were at this fall

Whoops! you're right.

It is legal in Idaho, but not Montana.

With the price for western yotes this year,I hope you get a bunch more

All you have to do is go to Idaho. E-callers will be legal there for wolves. Their F&G department isn't chicken-shit regarding wolf management.

 

[Baerman]

Looks like I need to get one of those calls for wolves here in Idaho. Season opened today!

 

[THWAK1]

I hope I can get something for them this next year considering how expensive diesel is! Anyone know of a good place in central Montana to take them, let me know. Thanks...

 

[Big Sky]

There is a fur buyer in Lewistown.

 

[StrutNut]

I used to do a lot of that back in college. Now with the family and living in Minneapolis, not so much. I miss heading out west after them though....
