i hunt for some of the local ranches and have got 200 i think anyway right in there i do know the price is up on them sent 5 to billings and there give my wife 50 apiece for themgun)
 
Only popped one with the glock 27 last winter while sledding. Haven't gone out for them
for 2 years now. Spending more time fishing and long range shooting than hunting these
days.
 
I didn't kill a coyote this year, yet, but the other night I watched a possum get run over in front of my house and it took 2 more cars to kill it, even then, I thought I heard it whining when I went back to sleep. I wonder if a 50 BMG is needed on them?!
 
Shot my first of the year late yesterday afternoon. About a 35# male.
Came in to a call. After deer season is over we have access to more property to hunt on. Plan on making some more trips after the first of the year.
 
I shot my first coyote this year in Montana. I hit him with my 7mm mag with 180 Bergers at 130 yards. He was running straight away and I hit him in the left hindquarter. Lets just say it did the job!
 
I called 58 dogs last year and managed to kill 38. Longest shot was @ 210 yards and the closest was about 2 feet off the barrel! Wasn't shooting too good at the beginning of the season. So far this year I have 17 dogs. Not great considering I killed 8 in one day.
 
In the last year a total of 3. Too many people where I live and too much hunting pressure. The coyotes are all "educated" which means that turning on a caller = sayonara hunters.... So I have sniped them and it is time consuming but better than nothing.

Usually nothing closer than 140 yards and for quite a while nothing closer than 250 yards all the way out to 450 yards. But I'm hunting a sheep farm. About 2/3 is in hay production and the coyotes don't like to come out into the open, so I am set up on a high spot and tend to shoot them right at the tree line at the edge of the fields. A tower stand would be better, but it is the usual battle of priorities.

I did get 4 deer this last season on the same property, including my first buck and I share the meat with the family on the farm and they help me with processing.
 
I don't get out too often, but got a couple around this past Thanksgiving, and IIRC about 6 last winter.
 
How many coyotes did you kill in the last 12 months?
Killed 11 in past 12 months. 10 came off a 100 acre block with superb crp cover. Of the 30 yotes I have killed in the past 3 years, over 90% have been male. Guess at that ratio I will always have plenty to hunt.
 
I have only killed three so far this year, hope to get some more this fall.
