Grainery coyote.426 viewsJohnS was calling as we looked over this field while sitting against a couple of graineries. Suddenly two coyotes came running around the edge of a bush about 200 yards to our right. JohnS filmed them as they stopped, looked us over, and then ran in as a pair. It's one of my all-time favourite scenes. His video comes out in October of 2006.

Double on coyotes387 viewsI was calling when a coyote showed up behind me within a very few minutes. Once I bagged him, I kept calling and about 15 minutes later another showed. The first was a little under 100 yds. but the second was about 300 yds.

First double.449 viewsThis was my first hunt with my .17HMR. Ken Erickson and I spotted these two foxes running parrallel to the road. We went ahead and called them in. We were in a prone position and it was amazing how close they came even with seeing us. One I shot immediately and the second was only wounded so I had to walk out into the field several hundred yards before I got the kill shot.

Almost too close227 viewsWent out today solely with the intention to try some stalking. This fellow wandered off before I could get set up but came to the Crit'R Call within a minute. Sooo close that I was afraid to move; had to wait until he'd wandered off about 100 yds before I felt comfortable moving away from the video camera and getting behind the rifle.

Sniped fox430 viewsI was walking in to do some calling when I spotted this fox sleeping on a hilltop. I had my .222 at the time so I snowshoed back to my truck and swapped it for the .243 Middlestead. I was happy with the shot, but he bullet was too destructive. I had to leave the fox behind.

HARD HEADED BUT HUNGRY247 viewsI called this big male in to 75 yards at night while my buddy made a frontal shot with his hair triggered 270. Not a long shot by any means, but a long standoff.He came in after a few howls but it took 20 minutes of coaxing to get em out of the woods for a clear shot.

Two Crows, Five Easy Pieces109 viewsThis morning I shot two crows with the .204 Ruger. The first at 111 yards easily separated into two pieces (wing and body/wing). The second at 174 yards separated into three pieces (head, wing, body/wing). These are the first of the 2009 season for me. (KenC, eat your heart out...)Apr 06, 2009

A shot across the lake.129 viewsFrom the shooting bench I had a good shot at an 1100 yd coyote standing across the lake--and I almost made it! Boy, would making that shot have given me bragging rights...KenMar 31, 2009

Stalked fox.124 viewsI spotted this fox in an almost ideal location; there was low land to sneak through and a bit of brush at the fence line where I shot from. I was able to get to within 161 yards--and I got the stalk and shot on video (for my next DVD)!Mar 21, 2009

170 viewsSome areas where I hunt are very flat for miles and a fox/coyote can easily spot you from a long ways away. I made this deer shield out of cardboard to help me get closer. It worked well. KenFeb 17, 2009

Ground blind162 viewsI put together this ground blind to help me remain hidden longer as I try to film and shoot. At this spot I had 3 coyotes respond but they were downwind and picked up my scent at about 700 yds.Feb 05, 2009

Fox at dusk; 449 yds190 viewsI first spotted this lassie at 329 yds while patrolling for foxes. By the time I'd gotten my camera set up and the rifle ready, she'd moved off to 449 where she stopped to have a pee. Wind was, fortunately, very calm but it was cold enough that I froze a small part of my nose that day.Dec 23, 2008

15 second coyote138 viewsI had only just got the electronic call going and hadn't even time to put on my mitts before this guy's buddy showed up...and left. A few seconds later this one showed up and I was able to get the kill on film. Minutes later a third was spotted out in the field but it never came close enough.Dec 13, 2008

First of season178 viewsThis was the second of two separate coyotes that responded; the first came and left without giving me time to get the camera on it before leaving so I let it pass. This one paused at about 150 yards after crossing the field behind so I had enough time to track its approach. The ice is broken!Nov 19, 2008
