Default Morning stand - big bore coyotes

Frosty, early morning stand from last week.

Me on the rifle - not small caliber this time - my 6/284 with 55 B-tips. My buddy Tim running a camera. All these pics are just frame grabs from the video he shot.

Anyway...

First real cold, real sticking snow of the year. First stand of the morning. Playing jackrabbit. About two minutes in, this one comes streaking in from behind us to my right. Went right to the caller, crossed up with our scent and kept on trucking for distant lands.

YoY female, she messed up and stopped for one last, longing look at the caller, about 85 yards out from me. Pop!




Let the caller play for another 10-12 minutes with nothing. Threw out a couple Lone Howls from the Foxpro. Noticed some magpies fussing on the ridgetop 150 yards away. Moved my rifle over to cover that spot.




And... Nothing... Magpies flew away after a minute. Ready to call it off and go gather my coyote. And Tim spots a coyote right where the magpies had been.




Pop! An adult female.



Can only post four pictures at a time here (that's really weird...), so to be continued...

Continued...


The first one, the YoY.




She had a nasty wound on her knee. Not from me...




And the hero shot with both of them lol!



Too much fun!

Nice! And I like your 6-284.

My 6-284 is the very first gun I ever had "built" and is probably my favorite rifle. I have others that are fancier and cost most but they will all go before I'd ever turn loose of my 6-284. I pretty much only ever shoot 75gr Vmax in mine and they do make a, huge, mess out of coyotes. It's definitely not fur friendly.

The 55's aren't usually very fur friendly either. They can be. That day, they were. But in general, definitely not a good choice for fur!

That 6/284 is an accurate, flat, hard hitting rig though. Closest thing to a death laser I have for coyote. 55 B-tips at 4280 fps, sub half MOA. It gets it done very reliably.

Greg Tannel built this one, on a Nesika, Lilja, Jewell, McMillan platform. Conquest in Talley's, TBAC Ultra 7. Tight neck, zero freebore, 13 twist. It's pretty sweet.

Very nice, nothing like a frosty, snow covered calling place and yotes responding. Thanks for sharing, you just know we love photos on this site.

Great write up and pictures.
The small calibers are fun but the big 6s are a thrill.

Default Excellent

Glad you got the other one too Dave.Thanks for sharing your hunt with us.
I think we all can appreciate the big sixes,Greg built my 6-284 but it’s too big to carry after coyotes 1.350” x30” distant ‘chucks and pd’s mostly.
Keep it up brother.
