AZ hunting

The Wildfire 2 is nice. Doesn't it have like 300 loadable sound clip capacity? Any luck with it?

Never used the Primos stuff. Give it a try. Lemme know what you think about it.

 

Yeah it has usb input. And its $100 cheaper than the original.

We've used the primos for just about every elk hunt we have gone on.

 

I'll have to look into it more. I use whatever we have laying around and it seems to work.

 

Sweet. We also have three choices in guns. 30-06, .270 and .243

 

i put in for elk and antelope.

do you need anything to hunt coyote?

 

Just a hunting license, good hunting discipline, patience, and a FOXPRO doesn't hurt either.

 

Just depends what you are doing. All three of those are great rounds though.

 

Well we tried and didn't even see anything. I think the call was way too loud, but my dad thinks it was fine

 

You have a volume adjustment on it. What do you think is way too loud?

 

You probably know these points....but. Hide you vehicle and walk at least 300 yds from it. Hunt with the wind in your face or cross wind, sun at your back. Start out with your call low for at least the first 5 minutes (if you put the call 25 yds out in front you can hardly here it) (Coyotes can here a mouse squeak at a couple hundred yds.) Turn up the sound in increments. Fifteen minutes at a stand for coyotes is about right. Longer for cats. If you hear coyotes bark you're busted so go on to another stand. Just my two cents......

 

thats what i wanted to know, thank you!!

good pointers. i will be using them



what guns are you guys using for coyotes?

 

I used my .222 over-under before, but now I plan on using my AR-15. I just haven't been able to get out in the last few years.

 

Vehicle was away. Wind was crosswind. Sun at back (we were under a tree and fully camoed). Volume... Well we had it at max.. You could hear it very clearly from 25 yards away and it was pointed away from us. How long are you supposed to leave the call going for?

 

Those are good pointers as well too. Me and you need to go bust some dogs haha.

No problem. There are specifics that go along with it as well. Can't shoot from the side of roads, in your vehicle, and use bait or calls after dark in some areas.

Just keep those things in mind and have a valid hunting license and observe posted signs wherever you are and you will be fine.

As far as what I use, a coyotes worst nightmare is my Thompson Center Venture 22-250. Perfectly flat trajectory @ 200 yds.

 

thanks for the tips guys. im probably going to give it a try this weekend. probably with my 10/22

 

With that Ruger, you gotta put it between their eyes. I would recommend a bigger caliber.

 

hmm, dang okay!
i dont have any larger caliber rifles at the moment, but i really needed one anyways.......

 

I would go buy something bigger, but not too big. You don't want a rifle that will cost you 40 bucks a box for ammo.

I recommend 22-250, .223, or .243 for predator.

If you are shooting rabbits and birds, then your .22 would be fine.

 

The reason I said to keep the volume low when starting a stand (if you did your job and were able to get to your stand undetected) is if you start loud and you have a dog near by you'll blow him away. I call or use a caller for a minute or so and give it a rest for a minute . If there's a dog close he'll be on your ass before you can stop calling. I once had a dog sitting ten yards on my right looking at my caller sitting 25 yards in front of me. I had my gillie on and froze waiting for him to advance to get in front of me. The caller was on about a minute. For me a stand will take about 15 minutes total if no dogs come in. Hunting cats takes time. Thirty to forty five minutes a stand in good cat country. I use a 22-250-55gr, .243-58gr, and 25.06-75gr...all home rolled, cronagraphed and shoot a group of an inch or less at 100 yds. if you take a shot at 200yd or beyond you need accuracy.

 

Yeah I think we had it way too loud lol..
