Almost too close560 viewsWent out today solely with the intention to try some stalking. This fellow wandered off before I could get set up but came to the Crit'R Call within a minute. Sooo close that I was afraid to move; had to wait until he'd wandered off about 100 yds before I felt comfortable moving away from the video camera and getting behind the rifle.

One of each from the same stand.547 viewsOn the first stand of the morning in early March I Crit'Rcalled in a fox from the left and a coyote from the right. Bill did the shooting while I did the calling and filming.

Called In and Put to Sleep514 viewsI sat out with two buddies one day and we called in this second fox (the first came, saw, and left before it could be cross-haired). It bounced across the field about 150 yds out before being dropped. I caught the hunt on the video camera.

Grainery coyote.698 viewsJohnS was calling as we looked over this field while sitting against a couple of graineries. Suddenly two coyotes came running around the edge of a bush about 200 yards to our right. JohnS filmed them as they stopped, looked us over, and then ran in as a pair. It's one of my all-time favourite scenes. His video comes out in October of 2006.

Longest shot ever on a fox.751 viewsThis fox was spotted near a dried-out slough. We were far enough away that it wasn't alarmed although it did run further into the field. The wind was very gentle and straight-on from the fox. A bit on the long side, but I couldn't resist. I knocked it down at 453 yards. Darn satisfying!

First double.731 viewsThis was my first hunt with my .17HMR. Ken Erickson and I spotted these two foxes running parrallel to the road. We went ahead and called them in. We were in a prone position and it was amazing how close they came even with seeing us. One I shot immediately and the second was only wounded so I had to walk out into the field several hundred yards before I got the kill shot.

Two Crows, Five Easy Pieces430 viewsThis morning I shot two crows with the .204 Ruger. The first at 111 yards easily separated into two pieces (wing and body/wing). The second at 174 yards separated into three pieces (head, wing, body/wing). These are the first of the 2009 season for me. (KenC, eat your heart out...)

A shot across the lake.451 viewsFrom the shooting bench I had a good shot at an 1100 yd coyote standing across the lake--and I almost made it! Boy, would making that shot have given me bragging rights...KenMar 31, 2009

Stalked fox.461 viewsI spotted this fox in an almost ideal location; there was low land to sneak through and a bit of brush at the fence line where I shot from. I was able to get to within 161 yards--and I got the stalk and shot on video (for my next DVD)!Mar 21, 2009

478 viewsSome areas where I hunt are very flat for miles and a fox/coyote can easily spot you from a long ways away. I made this deer shield out of cardboard to help me get closer. It worked well. KenFeb 17, 2009

Ground blind526 viewsI put together this ground blind to help me remain hidden longer as I try to film and shoot. At this spot I had 3 coyotes respond but they were downwind and picked up my scent at about 700 yds.Feb 05, 2009

Fox at dusk; 449 yds527 viewsI first spotted this lassie at 329 yds while patrolling for foxes. By the time I'd gotten my camera set up and the rifle ready, she'd moved off to 449 where she stopped to have a pee. Wind was, fortunately, very calm but it was cold enough that I froze a small part of my nose that day.Dec 23, 2008

15 second coyote400 viewsI had only just got the electronic call going and hadn't even time to put on my mitts before this guy's buddy showed up...and left. A few seconds later this one showed up and I was able to get the kill on film. Minutes later a third was spotted out in the field but it never came close enough.Dec 13, 2008

First of season484 viewsThis was the second of two separate coyotes that responded; the first came and left without giving me time to get the camera on it before leaving so I let it pass. This one paused at about 150 yards after crossing the field behind so I had enough time to track its approach. The ice is broken!Nov 19, 2008
