Cold, snowing, and blowing.  Add the 8" of crunchy hard snow, that you break through every time you step.  It was a difficult night and nothing to show for the partial coronary.  I slept like a baby though.

Congrats, shortmagger.

This is the coyote from early Saturday morning. Shot with a
22/250. Tested my patience on this one. Came in at the
42 minute mark on female howls. Hopeful about getting out
A few more times.

Thanks for the nice comments, and way to go on your dog, Cliff.
  the one I got came in on pup distress after two series of howls,first a lonesome howl, then ten minutes later I played female howl then at the fifteen minute mark I played pup distress,he showed up at 18 minutes,35 lb. male, which is why the rope from hanginging him off the scale is still on his legs,lol
  I hit two other spots Friday night/Saturday morning with no success,I usually try to stay on stand at least a half hr to three quarter hr,it was fairly windy with a tough switch at some of the spots but fortunately no snow to deal with like some of you guys have

behalf  of  all us newbie's, I really appreciate explaining the sequence and detail you provided in how you called it.  Many members like myself have never even called in a coyote, and your explanation gives some type of knowledge as to how it can be done.

     Congrats on the dog, and Much appreciation on the explanation on the set up!!

Great Job Cliff!  You are amazing.  I know you were using the .22-250.  What gun / bullet / were you using Shortmagger and how far was the shot?  I'm in the market for a coyote gun.  Thinking of a .243 Ackley Improved.
