Old school Preator Hunting

[Wolfdog91 6,260]

I collect and convert old outdoor videos as a hobby. Make clips sometimes and post them so they don't die completely.  Anyhow here's a clip from a coyote calling video I have. Figured some of y'all would enjoy it.

A few years ago I was on a forum called coyote gods.  It was a specialist group of guys that hunted the coyote. Along with some like me from all over the world.  Now these guys often came to verbal online conflict with other coyote hunters.  The forum was driven by a guy called John Henry.  They didn't just go out splogging every coyote with a 30.06 and leaving them where they fell for the flys.  They advocated using the Rem 1.7 and Berger bullets.  They used electronic callers and had Airdale dogs trained to tease and draw the coyotes to killing zones. They had respect for the coyote as a fine quarry and as such not calling it a host of random names such as yotes, yodel dogs and the like.  They didn't like shooters who used big guns and ripped the crap out of the coyote.  Like the first coyote in that clip which had been spooked and hit in the back end and left to bleed out.  Every coyote that they shot was skinned for sale and the meat used for dog food.  Mostly the guns they used were short Barrelled specialist made.  Pelts like the first one in that clip werent of any value.  When the 1.7 Berger bullet hit the coyote in the  engine room there was a hole the was difficult to find and there was no rip out exit wound.  All the energy was dumped inside and the carcass was like a bag of jelly.  The coyote generally dropped on the spot.   Quite often there were verbal wars between the forum members and others that just came on the forum to make BIG ME UP statements like.... I just can't wait to go out and waste yotes... or I just got my 30.06.. thirty aught six and I cant wait to blow the head off a yodel dog.  None of this went down well with the forum members who ripped the newbe a new ring piece.  They had a load of very good instructional videos on the site. And annual shooting get together weeks at John Henries place where anyone that cared to go was welcome to turn up and do whatever.  Drink,shoot, bbq, or whatever. They used to spit roast a cow for the bbq.  It was all a bit of a lads weekend.   Unfortunately John Henry was lured in by a female and it was a slippery slope for the site.  Another member took the site on but after about a year it submerged. One of the members a professor of geology contacted me and said that he was coming through the UK and about a meet up.  I obliged him and gave him a tour of the estate ect and night shooting. The next day the other lads got him out shooting corvids over the wheat piles. He loved it and left me an electric caller.  It did drag magpies in.  Another member who was vice president of a real estate company sent me a load of mouth callers.  They all seemed to be nice blokes all the time that you didn't call coyotes.. yotes etc.  Respect.
