I love these snowy cold hunts. Solid episode given the extreme conditions you had to make it in. Big Al redeemed himself big time! What a shot! That is a really cool zoom feature also. Great job to all you guys!
Don't worry about missin Al. You're still one of the best shots around. No one drops them like you. Been watching you for years. Sill on the mark buddy. Ow, Ow Owwwwwwwwwwww!!!
Hard work, but nothing good ever came easy ! you stuck it out and put in the effort and in the end you were rewarded with some beautiful fur in the truck !
With that many coyotes coming in and having 2 guns there, why are you guys not trying to get doubles or at least having one of you taking follow up shots?
Paul Hanna I use 22 mag or 17 hmr, if you get one looking at you like they always do you shoot right down their chest and the drop like a rock and you don’t mess the pelt up
It''s funny to see how some couch potatoes are trigger happy when it comes to criticism. Shooting under those conditions is not an easy thing to do. Weather, distance, wind, altitude, etc., will make you look bad. I've seen other videos from you guys and you have shown great skills. Go get them boys!
Nice job guys, but it was a close call to hitting the deer behind the running coyote at 3:10 in the clip you can see the bullet hit right in front of the deer make sure you know whats behind your target.........
You ain't just a kiddin! Shift my weight wrong on a full moon night and these smart Michigan coyotes haul ass outta there. Western coyotes are where it's at.
They Are on the reserve. These things never get hunted. They are basically tame. White man cannot hunt the reserve unless with a tribe member.. which never happens
Even us sharp shootin good ole southern Utah boys miss dogs once in a while big Al. Happens to the best of us! I sure enjoy watching these episodes and big Al. He’s one of the good ones! Looks like that one he missed from 300+, wind was blowing left, vapor trail missed left, at 300, a 10 mile an hour or so wind will push that slug a long ways. I will have to get big Al down here in Southern Utah in his home state shooting them with me. Last year had a one day trip that we saw 18, called in 10, killed five.
WTf, dude - such an awesome setup and you miss... What did you zero at, like 50 yards. It's like yr shooting a Nagant?! Maybe you need a braille scope! Just kidding, thanks for making and sharing this video
Boy, a miserable display of shooting on this video. Too much benchrest paper punching, not enough practice from field positions off of sticks. How did you guys miss the fact that that Ruger was shooting so high?
Agreed, at htat distance its either a ranging problem or a zeroing problem and neither one is acceptable... then to miss both shots that high and then continue to shoot without knowing where your gun is zero'd,, i dont know man..
Those coyote calls loop about every 6 seconds, then hunters overdo it when animals are close. The loud yelling and open cover doesn't help either. They probably showered with Irish Spring soap before putting on their favorite cologne that morning. Then maybe snack on some peanut butter crackers and french fries before heading out.
Al, I watch on my 55" smart TV and I saw it, on the video, when you hit it. You shot him at about 3:49 as he was rounding to the right into the dip. I wasn't sure if you hit it at first... but I kept watching and saw his tail as he was spinning around in circles before he dropped. Congrats... you got him on the run 🏃♂️. I need to zero my weapons... I'd love to go coyote hunting with you if I could. (In where weather of course. I have arthritis throughout my entire body and cold just means PAIN for me... I'm useless in the cold. I can't function in the cold.)
Two things. I believe Big Al need to call in those Coyotes A LOT CLOSER and when he gets home have his eyewear adjusted. Very nice fella, but just a horrible shooter. For every one Coyote he hit, he miss at least 5-7 more. If those Hornaby rounds were three seeds, Big Al would surely grow a forest all by himself. Bet there are dozens of missed Hornaby rounds planted in the ground. C'mon Big Al! We don't want to watch an episode of Fur Takers just to see and hear you fire off your rifle and not drag anything back! I think when you let the coyotes get within 5-10 yards of the fox call you stand a better chance at baggin' a prize before the stand or episode ends.
The purpose of hunting coyotes is to keep their numbers down. It also keeps them from killing farmers cattle too, which is the main reason. And you get a little cash when you take the fur in to the fur buyer. They also make gloves, jackets, boots and hats out of the fur.
How many shots did that fella take at that coyote at 100 meters?? Awful poor shot! Go back to the range buddy! if you cant shoot a coyote at 100 meters, you best give up this hobby and go back to the USA.
Carry some bags of sand in the bed of the truck. If you get stuck ... Don't have a heart attack pushing the truck!!!! Instead, cut a bag of sand open pour some sand around all 4 tires for traction and trail some sand up front in the trail the tires will be gripping. It works like magic ... you will drive right out no problem. Learned this in the army. It works!! GO TRUMP 2020 baby!!
I love watching you guys hunt fox in Alberta! I live in Indianapolis, Indiana ... man would I ever love to be with you guys. I was a MILITARY POLICEMAN in the army and qualified EXPERT with .45 pistol and M 16 rifle. I learned a "trick" in MILITARY POLICE FIREARMS TRAINING to keep from missing shots: Use the tip of your finger on the trigger instead of the middle of the first section of your index finger. Take a minute and look at your 'trigger" finger ... observe the first section of your index or "trigger" finger as you imitate pulling a trigger while observing the first section of your trigger finger. You will see it's on an angle ... this angle puts a force on the trigger that pulls weapons, pistols rifles, and shot guns to the side (right if you're right handed - left if you're left handed) Now, if you observe the tip of your trigger finger as you imitate pulling a trigger you will see it moves in a straight line (plane) with your wrist and arm. Next time you shoot something remember this trick, inhale deeply before the shot, exhale slowly while you start squeezing the trigger with the end (tip) of your finger. Don't try to know when the gun is going to fire, because EVERYONE reacts to the concussion (blast) of the gun, by jerking just a little, so instead of "pulling" on the trigger use the tip of your finger and gently "squeeze" the trigger and gradually increase the pressure on the trigger finger while you aim ... let the gun blast take you by surprise ... you'll hit the "bullseye" (fox) or (coyote) every damn time! Telling a man how to shoot a gun is like telling a man how to drive .. that never goes over well; but, let's just say it's a shooting tip and most importantly IT WORKS!!!
Looked like the bullet in the video veered way off to the left. Adjustments needed and elevation.. bit of range time.. But still as a heads up ye are still dropping them.. good shooting boys
Hold your breath and don't move until you pull the trigger. Otherwise you will miss it. I think that Al needs much more practice for hunting. 1 shot, 1 kill ! You must know that. From Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 🍁 🇺🇸
