COYOTE RUSHES THE FOX PRO : Savage 17 HMR BARKS : Oneida Eagle Phoenix sends a perfect arrow

[@bobsmyth9776]

I'm impressed..!!! Great shot- you felt confident, that tells me a lot. I love my Onida bow, met Mr. Polington & he signed my bow. I'm 69- and have spent a lot of my life enjoying hunting, fishing- etc. Etc. & This video hss inspired me to hunt coyote- serious..!! I've been crippled up for 3-4 years & just getting mobile..oh I wish we could talk.....typing looses much..I am encouraged to continue hunting & this is a whole New Realm. We hunted with game callers in 1970-- records- speakers--- crows mostly..couldn't get the fox close enough....this looks really Cool... And from a raised heated blind sounds good.....

@@TRIBEDRAKE If you’re leading them by a foot at that range with a bullet traveling in excess of 2500ft/s you have a nonexistent follow through. You’re stopping your follow as you pull the trigger. I’m not saying it isn’t working for YOU, but if you’re giving that as advice to someone that has proper scope tracking and follow through they’re going to shoot about 11.5” in front of that yote every time!

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

@@whoisjohngalt4880 who said anything about giving people advice… A roughly 10”-12” lead in an opening through woods with a scope zoomed out, put that bullet exactly where I wanted it. That’s that , it worked perfect , I could careless how fast or slow the bullets going.

@@TRIBEDRAKE Very fair statement! I feel like I came off as a condescending asshole with my initial statement. The situation that you had in that video gave you zero options other than to use an anticipated lead and pick your shooting lane and essentially let the coyote run into the bullet. Obviously you made the shot, which is what counts.

[@blakehowland7468]

great vid, I've killed probably around 30 with the .17 hmr as had access to a higher population density area for a long time and my .17 hmr just lived at the family property, the .17 hmr made most sense for the pests there and proximity to neighbouring acreages, beavers and coyotes, never lost one, tried the v-max ammo first of course, it worked pretty good, then thought the 20 gr xtp would be good but trailing jobs were double on the boiler room hit runners so it was too delayed expansion and far more suited to wherever someone may need deeper penetration on larger critters or for their pests to die on the neighbours property lol, so a 50 yard recovery for v-max lung hit would be 100 yards with the xtp, then I tried the 17 grain tnt from cci and seemed to be the ideal bullet for the coyotes/beavers, just a little tougher than the v-max and handled shoulders a little better, they all worked, the v-max you would never hear ricochet on gopher days, but every now and then you'd hear a tnt ricochet so you knew they tnt was just a little tougher than the v-max but it was still explosive, never got exits with the tnt though but just felt they did a couple more inches of penetration than the v-max, hope that helps others, no idea how old this thread is, I sold my cz and kept lots of ammo so looking at the a17 and this popped up in my searches, I had one of the first .17 hmr's in my part of Canada so was killing with it very early, even got a couple doubles, one with bolt action cz and one with a rem 597 semi, you'll never convince me the .17 hmr isn't phenomenal inside 150 yards for coyotes, most I shot were from 30 to 125 yards, zero issues, 1" high at 100 yard zero is what I ran, point blank good for to 130, top of back for 150

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

Shot over 20 yotes with that 17 About 50% of them drop the other 50 will run at most 80 yards . Usually have a blood trail to follow. 17 packs a lot of energy and destroyes the internals. I have shot way to many with the 17 to not believe in it. 22-250 when the shots exceed 150 yards .

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about Hunting Southern California, go sit down at the back of the class AND stay there. I have culled dozens of yotes with a 17Mach2 they do not go far, but to say a .223 55gr V-Max hit might sometimes put them down is retarded, it blows a hole the size of your fist out the exit on a yote thus ruining the pelt.

[@shaunmccuin5954]

If I’m hunting rabbits and see a coyote I’d use a 17hmr but I wouldn’t take it out for coyotes. I’ve had a few get away with 223. I like a 243 with 55gr ballistic tips. I’d like to try out a 6.8spc I have a RR operator chambered in. The problem is when they get away the become educated. I’ve found coyotes to be intelligent animals and they are much harder to kill when they are educated.

Proofs in the pudding, prolly shot over 20 yotes with that 17 , they either drop or run a little ways, that round packs alot of energy, it’s not always about the size of the projectile

[@Kayceesoutdoorliving]

If 2 bullets are traveling the same speed and one bullet is twice as heavy, the heavy bullet has twice the energy. If two bullets weigh the same and one is traveling twice as fast the fast bullet has four times the energy. That being said the 17's lethal power comes from it's ridiculous accuracy.

Two questions: First, what are your thoughts on 17HMR vs 22WMR? Second, what is the ethics of luring a female coyote with the pre-recorded sounds of pups in distress?

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

I don’t have a 22wmr , 22 long rifle and 22 mag do just fine, I’ve shot over 30 yotes with my 17 with no problems , put the bullet where your suppose to put it and you collect your prize. Ethics is doing what’s right when no one is looking, it’s perfectly fine to use that call, you want to control predators so they don’t take control over all other game animals. Do what it takes to call them in and do the deed, coyotes are one of the most cunning critters to hunt, 90% of the time they do not come straight in to the call and you never see them.

[@anthonygreene4938]

I got an 8 point buck this season, that appeared to be 3 and half appr. This was in an area where there are plenty of coyotes and yet no coyote ever got him. It helps to shoot coyotes if you want the deer to overpopulate and get diseases. The coyote happens to be the best at keeping the deer herd healthy and at good numbers. There is a biological need for them. This is what I believe. They have just as much right to be out there as anything else. And they have more right to eat deer than we do, because they can't go shopping at the grocery store like we can. I believe it is part of the balance of nature now , that some hunters shoot them and some don't.

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

You will never kill off the coyotes Many places have an over population of them, I see it first hand and see what they do to the fawns every year. Kill predators when you get the chance to. Other creatures of the wild will flourish because of the predator ypu took out.

But I still believe that the deer and coyotes will reach a healthy balance, and I certainly know that they can do it with or without mans intervention. Nature itself has rules that dictate the balance of itself. The hunters in Vermont in 2021 had a 19% hunter success ratio. That means that 1 out of every 5 licence holders tagged at least one deer. Coyotes on the other hand have a near 100 % success ratio at killing game. Atleast up untill they get shot or whatever. That makes coyotes 5 times better hunters than the average man. Unsuceesful hunters sometimes have to put the blame on coyotes and perhaps bears. But I don't hear successful hunters ragging on coyotes for killing fawns. Its really not even a thing. In order for any predator to kill a fawn they must step on top of them while they are walking around. Good luck with that. Fawns don't even have a scent. I am not saying that predators dont get fawns. They do. But think of this what would happen if every single deer lived to adulthood? We would be overrun with them before long. Cars would be hitting them even more that now. Each to his own. If you want to shoot coyotes do it like it was your job. But the more you shoot them the more they will breed. That's a a fact of nature.

I own a ranch in Montana and can tell you first hand coyotes are out of control. I have a couple guys come out and absolutely knock the shit out of them. The first time they came out they killed nine coyotes, the second time they killed eleven, and this last time they killed fourteen of them. My place is relatively small thousand acres, but I am surrounded by huge ranches. I also have killed seven coyotes over the last year. I have a shoot on sight policy when it comes to coyotes. You can have them!!!

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

@@bkb5668 I’m on the same page as you other than I have 2 minus acers, hopefully someday I could get 100 acers, yes yotes are out of control and I can’t believe that people are in denial about it. Some say there are not enough coyotes

[@kennyp507]

I respect the fact that every wild animal has a job in nature, but man, I hate coyotes with a passion, especially by my area, between the livestock, the small animals like fawns and neighbors best friends (cats & small dogs) these coyotes need checks and balances.

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

Yes sir , they need balance just like everything else, most cunning animal to hunt is the coyote around my area

[@jamesschneider3828]

A 223/556 would have him down within 10 yards. 17 her is ok for a fox but not a coyote.

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

I’ve dropped well over 12 coyotes in there tracks with that 17 hmr , shot tight behind shoulder. Everyone has there own opinion I don’t operate on opinions, only facts. 0-150 yards. The 17 is deadly on yotes. Proven

[@jkd0114]

If wet boots are worth it, shoot a 17😂

[@darrenlingerfelt5879]

👍👍

[@AZbone]

If you didn’t have snow, you’d be cussing that 17. I’ve seen far too many coyotes run off never to be found because of a 17. I sold mine an won’t buy another. If you shoot prairie dogs, they are fun to use

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

I have great luck with mine, that gun has smoked well over 20 yotes, no issues. Tight behind the shoulder and they drop or go a little ways and crash. I can find and follow blood trails without snow .. no problems

[@philyamascunt7518]

I have shot groundhogs with my .17 HMR out to 130 yds but I have killed some crows with my .17 HMR out to 175 yds on a windless day but I have mangled crows and turned them into black goo from 30 yds out to 50 yds. The only bad thing that I have found with the .17 HMR is that I can't reload the cases

[@gravediggerbclb]

Switch to a .223 and then you wont have to track them....😉

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

Yep I know, I have all the popular coyote rounds, tracking is part of the hunt that keeps your senses alive, 17 hmr makes it challenging, you gotta make your shot count

@@Ryan_YoungUSA I’ve had great luck with this setup, farthest kill shot at 135 yards , most of them drop in there tracks, shot tight behind the shoulder or depending on the angle. Havnt lost one yet with that gun.

[@rayst.2934]

I have a swift ,I shoot sierra 50 grain semi point bullets ,zero at 75 yards dead on at 200.at 400 it only drops about 3/4 inch . the swift will always be fav for ground hogs to yotes. I killed deer with it shooting 60 grain and 55 grain nosler ballistic tips.the swift is an awsome round.

[@nyjetsfan4455]

Ya im not sure i would have taken that shot. U got lucky. Wounding an animal and it running that far isnt cool. As a hunter im not taking a shot unless i no 100 percent that i can put it down where it stands. Very quick and hunain.

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

Quartering away into the lungs and expiring in less than 8 Al seconds isn’t wounded and most definitely isn’t suffering. I was 100% I could make that shot and that’s why I made it happen. The coyote ran no more than 80 yards from the impact point , any hunter in there right mind knows that a coyote or deer can cover that in a matter of seconds.

[@lanceadams1886]

17 is not a good coyote round at all, fox would be marginal!

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

Says over 20 dead coyotes that I shot with that gun so far

[@bkb5668]

The .17 hmr is bad to the bone inside 100 yards and will certainly kill coyotes out to 150 yards and on a calm day I will shoot out to 200 yards. These are varmints and I have no love for coyotes, they can run off and die. I would rather they die in sight but as long as I get a hit I am good with that too. I do hunt coyotes with 3 different firearms, a .223/5.56, a .17 hmr and a 12 gauge loaded with 3" t shot or cheap 00 buck. I use the cheapest ammunition and still feel it may be to good for these heathens.

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

@@bkb5668 you got it, 17 hmr hammers them , I’ve had nothing but great luck with it

Why make them suffer devastate them with a swift

Shot through both lungs No suffering Dead in 8 seconds or less

[@simonchapman4001]

Way too small a round too take yotes . Especially on the run .

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

That’s why that one is dead and the other 30+ are dead from that .17 Next

[@35ABSTRACT]

That was a LIVER shot and definitely NOT a heart shot. Unless you’re literally starving and in dire straits, please, only take well set up controlled shots...and know EXACTLY where the humane quick kill spots are on the animal you’re hunting before you head out. I’m a hunter and this was hard to watch.

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

Don’t watch it then, quartering away running at 70 yards, angling in to the heart and lungs, pretty easy to figure out, wtf. Examine the videos better before you go spilling inaccurate information
