Predator Season 2025-2026

[JamieZ]

I thought maybe someone I know would have started this thread, seeing how he was done staying accurate shooting mice and was back shooting coyote.

Either way, I'll start it because I had a hot night last night.

Told this girl at work if she stopped over, I would make her some smoked grilled chicken wings and take her coyote hunting because I knew she liked to deer hunt.

We got setup out in the field.
She wasn't hunting, but she was using my buddy thermal mono, so she could see everything I was doing.
We gabbed for about 5 mins, and then I played rabbit distress. Then what seemed like 3 mins was probably actually 30 seconds.

3 coyotes came running out of the thicket with my scent blowing directly at them. When they got to about a 100yds they knew something wasn't right and turned around.

I shot one when he stopped at 208yds, one when he stopped at 225yds and the last one, which is when I finally turned my video on, at 330yds.

It is a lot of fun, and more fun with friends. Good quality thermals have come down considerably. I paid 1500 for a buddy scope, that is as good as the one I paid 3200 for, 3 or 4 years ago.

Great job Mr JZ.
I only put down a nusience fox after four long nights of coyote hunting.
I have plenty on camera so I know they're out there.
Hopefully the change in temp and moon will have an effect on the coyote in my area.

I came real close today building another gun, because X-Caliber has their once a year sale going on till tomorrow. 30% off carbon fiber barrels. Normally their sales are only 20% off. I was going to build a 22 Nosler, but then I thought about it. I don't really need it, my 204 seems to drop them with the 40gr Vmax's pretty damn well. I'm telling you all this so I can convince myself not to order a custom barrel

Caught this little bastard trespassing behind my barn the other night.
His skull is currently out getting turned into a European mount.

Well my season started off slow being it was so hot and bright with the Harvest moon.
It got luke warm as the temps cooled and Harvest moon went away and I was able to drop two females.
Before that happened I was dealing with major heartbreak as dogs were showing up in places I couldn't shoot them.
This is a video of a dog that wouldn't budge from an anti hunting neighbors property.

After dealing with the non cooperating dogs I went cruising around and spotted two dogs in a field I could hunt.
Unfortunately after the shot my rifle jammed as my elbow hit the side of the UTV causing me to short stroke the bolt.
That caused me to lose sight of where the dogs ran off to.
I knew I connected as only one dog left the scene, but I couldn't find the one I dropped till the next day when the landowner and I went out and spotted vultures circling.
