coyotemaster Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Although it looks like we have some snow it is just a dusting from last night, so I have been spending some time calling the raccoon instead of Coyotes. These 10 were taken this past week, some in the daytime some at night, all were taken with the .17 centerfires. I found the 30 gr. bullet a little much for them and went to the 20 vmax at around 3800fps which worked just about perfect. The coon really come hard to the fight call looking to defend territory and it is getting to be breeding season which makes them even more aggressive.
