3 Coyotes Today!

Picked off a couple more, the counts up to 22 now.
I sure wish they were worth something again, but they are not so most of the time I don't even take them home.
As for our season, we lose out on a lot of good coyote hunting in Missouri because of the deer season.
Of course the MDC does not make any extra money off of coyote hunters like they do deer hunters, so I doubt things will improve.

I hunted coyotes in AZ for 14 years, and had much better luck with the heavier bullets. I shot the 64 gr WW PP bullets in my 22/250 under 38 grains of Accurate 4350, and it killed them like the hammer of Thor and printed dime sized groups at 100 yards. Worked well in my 223 VS as well with the 26 inch barrel, not sure if it will stabilize in a shorter barrel but should be great in an 1 in 9 twist AR. Found I called a lot more doubles with the 223 VS, that 26 inch barrel keeps the sound way down. Some of my favorite hunting grounds are gone now, thanks to urban sprawl. Always liked the area North West of Wickenburg, down by Picacho Peak and East of Florence.

I handloaded some 64gr Power Points and shot them through a Bushmaster "AK shorty" (14.5" with an AK-74 muzzle break) and consistently grouped 3 shot .75" spreads. I shot maybe a dozen 3 shot groups without cleaning and they were all 3/4 inch. I probably could have pulled tighter spreads but was using a cheapie 4X scope and the reticle was larger than the bullseye.
