[QUOTE="Shawn Carverelli, post: 2345080, member: 120757"] 15 years ago (Im guessing here) i took my buddy out with me yote huntin. We both recently bought varmint rifles. I had a Rem700 heavy barrel stainless fluted 220 swift. He opted for a 22-250 of the same only blue heavy barrel. We parked his truck and walked down this draw about 200 yards from the truck and got set up behind this huge sagebrush. We were on the downwind side of this draw which drained onto a much bigger in another 200 yards or so. I started calling using rabbit squeals. About the middle of my second series we see one loping over coming towards us about 300 yards out. I stop calling to see if he keeps coming. He slows down then turns broadside. My gun was sitting next to me with my harris bipod extended out and also resting on the stock butt. I start into some lower volume squeaks and he turns back towards us again. The bottom of the draw was thick and fairly tall and thats right where he headed. We both lost sight but knew he was within 50 yards. We're both looking around and at each other whispering "where'd he go". I stopped calling and in about 5 seconds that yote jumped up on the opposite side of the sagebrush...scaring us both. My buddy Larry levels his 22-250 and fires, never even getting his gun at eye level. This yote runs off back the way he came, out of sight, then back in sight. I let loose on the call again and he stops dead in his tracks behind a this sagebrush, thinking he was hid. I had set my bipod legs on my feet to elevate the barrel some. After the coyote had stated coming hard I'd turn my scope power down all the way to 4.5x. I held the xhair in the middle of him and touched it off. milliseconds later 1 dead yote. [/QUOTE]
