I usually use a boom boom but there is a family group of coyotes here. Hoping this gun is quiet enough that if I nail one, others might not flee the scene. 
Decided to hunt coyotes with a pea shooter this evening

Thanks. Finally cooling off now. An hour ago my Chesnut’s were roasting on an open fire. Mosquitoes are feasting on me. Hunting coyotes naturally is really hit or miss so I’m prepared to get skunked. But it’s always nice to be in the woods as the lights go out.

@vetmx good luck. I love the woods in the dark, and fortunately I still see pretty well in low light.

No luck. Was hoping to post a pic of something but that’s why they call it hunting. Will try again if camera activity picks up.

Go for head shots if possible. If that's a 25 cal you can go for vitals if your positive that the shot is clean. I know some people shoot them in the heart with 22 cal but to me that is just too much of a risk. A 25 would bleed them out quickly enough to be ethical if you made a lung shot but 22 just seems too risky. I often squeal like a rabbit or use a predator call to make them pop their head up and then take the shot. Good luck.

I’m sure you don’t need advice Vet. So I’ll just leave you with a prayer from the good lord: May your sights be straight and your aim be true. Amen

On a funny note, I’ve never hunted coyotes in the summer, I’ve always focused on breeding season. I opted to not wear a hat and just went with a camo head net face mask. The top of my head got destroyed by mosquitoes. Been scratching it all day. It’s lump city.

I wonder if these guys make shampoo. I’m still scratching and I’m about to take a belt sander to my noggin.

When in my teens in high school I got a bad case of jock itch. I itched worse than a junkyard dog infested with fleas. Never had jock itch before.
when I got home from basketball practice I told my grandfather about “the itch”. He told me to go in the bathroom, lock the door, douse a thick folded up amount of toilet paper with this, and apply to itchy areas.
true test of man card ownership, depending on the sound of the scream-
what I didn’t know, was my grandfather had his ear against the door on the outside.
stopped all itching, that’s for sure

Matthias, you wanna hear something funny that happened two days ago?
I owed someone some $$ so I tell him “give me your PP”
he replies-“ WHOA! Augie, I don’t know you well enough to do that!!” Then he did the LMAO thing and sent me his PayPal.
Aside from paying him, I sent him this pic with a text underneath that read-
“ you don’t even know what I look like. You probably envisioned me looking like this as I asked for your PP”-
if I find the humor, I take opportunity to do a “toon” job, lol

@Vetmx I feel for you man. The way my arms looked after coming in yesterday evening, I can only imagine how your head feels. Have you tried using Jungle Juice? If not it’s worth checking out for hunting and camping trip . It works pretty well as a repellant even when sweating in serious humidity. Realistically you should get 6-8 hours of protection per application. For areas you don’t want to spray, you can spray your hand and then rub it on more sensitive areas like beneath the eyes (cheeks/cheek bones) https://www.rei.com/product/799529/sawyer-jungle-juice-100-insect-repellent-98-percent-deet-25-fl-oz

Tis season needs an extra dose of it for sure.

I had a guy PM me and asked what did I think of Pbag. He didn’t like my answer and said he was asking about Palm Beach Airguns. I had to apologize.

Thermacell works get for outdoor evenings and also hunting to keep the flying blood suckers at bay.
