Thanks for bringing us along when you blooded your new gun. That’s sort of a special occasion. The .22-250 will do those long pokes if you do your part. Glad you were able to find, finish, and recover it. I’ve been laid up and unable to hunt so get my enjoyment from vids like this. Hope to be back at it soon. Wishing you the best of luck in your hunts so I have something to watch.
How hot are your loads? I’d kinda like to put a can on the end of my 22-250. My loads are pretty much maxed out and it shoots great. Will I have to slow it down for the suppressor
BTW, Tikka is Finnish for woodpecker. Manufactured 200 miles from my hometown here in Finland. And when I lived just on the MN side of St Croix river I never saw a coyote...
Once again your video quality is amazing. I’m going to try predator hunting for the first time this year. I am a avid deer hunter so I believe I might be pretty good at it. But to film it the way you do is pretty cool.
Every rifle is different but running tape from the stock over the barrel can change the harmonics of the barrel and affect accuracy. Nice shot at 340 anyway!
@@wisconsincoyotecallin8620 Great video. Tikka's are great. But trying to find someone that carries the caliber and model one wants is a pain. I have looked in the Chicago, Cities and now WI area to find one. What a pain We're you on public or private land? Keep yp the good work.
Maybe that coyota just moved after you sent that first shot on its way. Were you keen to not loose dog into the forest edge..Remember my first kill with my new 3006. NZ back country. On the hunt for Red deer, chamois or Thar. Long day walking and helicopters had spooked the animals. Out of desperation my hunting buddy and I began shouting at top of our voices near a creek conference with a river. A chamois poked its head over the top of a log. Was a 400yard uphill shot. Great rest amonst the large river boulders. My buddy backed me up with his 243. Let rip and chamois disappeared. We made the treck up this steep creek. Found the log and lying in a patch of sand was a good sized doe. Dead centre and back head gone. Dressed animal out and then had long walk back to the motorcycles. The game packers would buy fresh kills if you left kidneys and liver in. This was about 45 years ago. Think go about equivalent of a weeks wages for that animal..
Awesome brother!! That was a great shot and he was getting ready to exit the field right at the time you let'er rip. Awesome video brother and stay safe!!
Got it at scheels..its called.kings camo...here is link... www.kingscamo.com/products/kings-cover-suit-bundle-2?variant=42032524099757&gclid=CjwKCAiA3KefBhByEiwAi2LDHOmMCF49RKDwQY8WxQlKuLKwwTRNP0mR9VcM2XKkBbOUCGfVuCngWhoCfUgQAvD_BwE
You had a pretty good strut there at the start ,lol . That vapor trails is so neat! And that's a great shot!!!! By the way what's all the tracks in the snow where the coyote was?
Lol you like that walk! Haha..my over camo was falling off because pants are a bit big and had stuff in pockets weighing them down off waist..lol...those were mainly deer tracks by the coyote
Good of you to track em down and put her out of her misery. The shot was good but when you pulled the trigger she moved, that sometimes happens... Good video btw
Yeah I noticed she just started to take a step..but it looked like I still would have hit her in the guts! My first coyote I killed this year I tracked over 2 miles..hit it far back and finally ran it down and finished it off...I don't like when animals suffer, I always do as much as I am able to finish the job..
Finally caught up with the action boss. Have been missing too many of your videos. Like you’re new torch. What model Tikka? You may need to re-range scope.
I’ve been watching your videos, I know you’re ethical your kills are always quick. I have a question? We’re you shooting handloads?? The reason the shot was bad I believe is there was something wrong with the load; I watched this on big screen and not only can you see the trail, you can actually see the bullet or something going along with it(debris of some kind?)and this can be seen in real time.The trajectory also doesn’t look right especially for a 22.250 or 243, doesn’t seem flat early on, big arc. Watch the video on big screen and if you can, do it frame by frame, you will see what I mean. You might want to chronograph this lot of loads and compare with another lot, because there was definitely something not right.
@T. O. I did see that..I believe it was the bullet, I don't think anything was wrong, sometimes conditions can be just perfect to see shit like that..also I was on a big hill shooting somewhat downward..the trajectory seemed good to me...at 340 that's like a 8 inch drop for my ballistics...
My younger brother walk on the tree line not the open field so they can see you, for if other's see you they will run the other way, back into the woods. Never give up of where you are to them. Old Master Gunnery SGT USMC. For if you blend into the back ground they have a problem to see you. Do you get my drift, my younger brother.
A coyote is a coyote...only time there is a preference is if a pair comes in...then if your good enough to tell which one the female is (9/10 times the smaller dog) than you would want to shoot the female, in hopes the male comes back looking for her when you play a pup distress immediately after the first shot!
You made the right call, he seemed like he was gonna head into the woods and try to close the distance. He would’ve got your wind by that point I bet. Good call to shoot him there. Marginal hit but, did the job. Didn’t go far.
Great shot! That isn't easy to do on a coyote size target. Now the tikka is broken in. Do you run your caller on full volume for the howls? I can not believe all the poor shot comments. Have you guys ever shot at a yote at any distance? It is not as easy as you think. This one moved at the last split second witch does not help a bit. Get over yourself guys.
Thanks pal! And I usually run howls on about 18-22 volume...depending on terrain...wide open flats I'll run it a bit higher.. but if I'm tucked back in a valley with ridges all around the call really echoes and sounds loud so Ill run it about 18-20...
Just for some camouflage before the snow came and I didn't take it off...and its definitely not duct tape..it comes off easy as hell..just a cloth wrapping
Looks like you need to bring your shooting skills up to match what the rifle can do. You wounded that critter pretty bad, should have been a clean kill but it wasn't.
