Just wanted to show you guys a couple pics from our recent hunts. The night hunting pics are from a week ago. We killed 8 coyotes and 11 fox in 6 hours, not a bad night. 5 coyotes were killed using a shotgun. most all responded to a challenge howl. We had one coyote 4-5 feet from the truck. We were working on a fox and all we heard was him put on the brakes, at that close its pretty loud. You just have to love a triple. The front runner got it bad at 10 yards. My partner had to switch guns and we somehow still got all three. pretty exciting setup. I love those west Texas sunrises. We are pictured here with our good friend Skeet Jones. Skeet runs a guide service out of west Texas with access to 1/2 a million acres. Great guy and a great hunt. We took this cat 2 days ago. We didnt get to put her on the scales but I bet she would go over 30. Took her at 40 yards with the trusty 22-250. She was the biggest female cat I have ever killed. She had a little fur damage but will still look good tanned. Hope you enjoyed the pics. Happy hunting.

Awesome Pics. I've always wanted to take the video camera along, but seem to always have too much other junk to carry. Looks like it turned out to be an awesome hunt. If you have an extra copy of that cat being called in, I'd be willing to pay for the tape and shipping Curt

Hey Curt, We are going to market our video in the spring. I'll keep everyone informed on the release date. We night hunted not too far from you the other night. Just across the New Mexico border in Texas. Great looking country out there. Heading back out there in a few days. The coyotes are a little smaller, but man are they aggressive this time of year.

Hey txpred,
Yall was stackin em up like cord wood. Good work! That is a nice lookin female cat. She is a big one. That neck and chest looks more like a male. Just curious, were her teeth still good and sharp or were they wore down? Just curious about her age. Definitely 25 lbs. probably over 30 lbs. like you said. Nice job.

Bobcat, It was a good night indead. We only called on spot were we didnt see anything. We finally started letting the fox go and waited on the coyotes. Saw over 30 fox that night and 15 coyotes. We must have just hit them at the right time, it had been very windy the two days prior to this night. Not bad with a 3/4 moon and no cloud cover. We had another one down we couldnt find but the video proves it was a fatal shot. We called so many animals in over the three days by this night we had ran out of video tapes. It was worth the hour drive to get more tapes. Slammy, The cats teeth were pretty worn down but not as bad as some I have seen. We were very suprised this was a female. The area we took her in gets no hunting pressure so maybe next time we will get her boyfriend.
