I've hunted pheasants about 40 Years. Loads I usually shoot are 2 3/4 "( don't waste your money on magnum loads) # 6, 5, or 4's. 4 shot later in the season when birds are more spooky and sometimes flush at 40 yes or more. A missed shot at 40 yes or less, don't blame your gun or your shells. Good...

When say hold over, does that mean aim above intended target??? Thanks

You are corrrct about my scope. If I go and sight it in for longer shots, say 300 yds, how does that affect shooting or aiming at targets that are 100yds or closer??? Would I hold the crosshairs a little below the intended target at closer ranges?? Thanks for you help!!!!

I am pretty much a greenhorn at coyote hunting!! I am using a Weatherby 25-06. The scope that I have is 4.5-14x42. I sighted it in at 100yds. I also shot at a target at 150yds out and it was pretty much dead on at that distance. I have not really shot at a thing say 200yds or further yet. My...

The hunters here who use the dogs would normally stop at slough or abadoned farm place. Get out and shoot a 22 around a bit and see if anything comes busting out the other end. If a coyote or fox comes out, they turn their greyhounds loose. The dogs will chase that coyote until it is so tired...

200 yds or closer.

Thanks so much for your input. Many of the things you mentioned I try to do. Here in SW Minn, it is farmlaned usually one square mile sections, although there are a few 2 mile sections very nearby. Tipically there are fencelines, creekbottoms, pastures, and old farm groves for wildlife to live...

Thanks for your help. I had a friend with a snowmobile make some hard walking paths out in sections where coyotes are. That helped my mobility, but also one particular track is now like a "Coyote Hiway" by the dog tracks that are on it! I am new to his sport and need all the help!!!

I would sure appreciate some advice on calling and shooting coyotes under these very wintry conditions. I know coyotes are in the area, but so far I havent had any sucess. The deep snow has drifted in all the grass type cover here in SW Minn. Coyotes seem to be hanging around old farm groves...

How does 24" of snow and very cold temps(0 to -20) affect your coyote hunting tactics and how does it affect a coyote's daily routine?? At first the snow was a killer to try to walk any distances to set up. Now it has gotten easier to walk, but much more noisier, very squeaky. Is calling from...

I am relatively new to coyote hunting. I have a 25-06 Weatherby. Is this an adaquate size rifle for coyotes or should i get a smaller caliber? I live in SW Minnesota where the wind blows all the time!!!
