First of the season
I did 4 stands this morning. Called in a total of 3 yotes and got 1 kill. This male came in to my rabbit distress. He stood broadside about 400 yards out so I started to coax with my Crit R Call. He B-lined right into me, loping through the frost covered grass. It looked like something out of the coyote videos we all know. About 25 yards out I couldn't take it anymore after missing one 10 minutes before. I sent a 95 grain Fusion from my .243 and dropped him. Quarter size entry wound and no exit. I was hoping with a bonded type bullet I would get different results. Any ideas? I am going to keep using them and get some more input.

Yes, it is a quarter size. The fur around the wound is soaked in blood. I was moving the hair around to see how bad I shot it up so it is an illusion. The actual hold in the hide flesh is only about quarter size. i know it isn't the best picture. I looked him over several times and couldn't find the exit.
I was at my grandma's with my wife, kid, and driving the minivan. So I had to leave the yote at my uncles. I am going calling there next weekend so I will pick it up then and get it skinned out(then I will know for sure I guess). Hopefully I have more coyotes to skin out.

Nope that is right near where we stopped and howled on the road there by my grandma's. All the coytoes I called that morning where within 1 mile of where we stopped. If we have time we will probably zoom over to my other uncles land and hopefullyget some stands in over there too. Hopefully we have some clear nights Th. and Friday night as we can hopefully get some night stands in too. They got 10" of snow yesterday. As you can see in the photo the snow was just starting to fall when we were hunting.
Nice yote, Eric I noticed that you have a white wrap on your gun, and over your barrel, you will be able to get a lot better group if you don't wrap over your barrel because it's gotta be free floating for good groups, not sucked down from the wrap...missed a yote last year cuz I did the same thing, and quickly learned why after that.
