300_yd_running_coyote_with_Rick.jpg
300 yard coyote468 viewsI let the first of this pair pass by expecting that my partner would be able to shoot it while I focussed on the second. But he couldn't see it from where he was sitting. After I shot the second coyote, I ran to the top of a small hill and shot the first coyote at 300 yards as it was running away.

Fox_at_dusk.JPG
Fox at dusk; 449 yds239 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.

Grainery coyote.457 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.

A shot across the lake.175 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...Ken

HARD HEADED BUT HUNGRY266 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.

Stalked_fox.JPG
Stalked fox.163 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)!

Two_crows,_five_parts___for_website.JPG
Two Crows, Five Easy Pieces157 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

First_fox_with_deer_shield.JPG
225 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
Blind_on_the_ground.JPG
Ground blind217 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

15_second_coyote.JPG
15 second coyote183 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_2008_season.JPG
First of season222 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
