Anybody calling coyotes?

Entered the Central Oklahoma Predator Challenge last Saturday in Blanchard. We got 3. It was pretty slow. The winning team had 7, then there was a logjam of teams with 4 and 3. We shot all three using a female howl paired with a jackrabbit in distress.
Shot 2 and a bobcat a few weeks prior.

I have had alot luck with DSG cottontail lately. I never leave a stand without playing puppy distress. I would be interested in hearing some of you guys sequences along with how log you play them.
Here is a pic from one last week. Notice how good the grass is.

The 6.8
The 6.8X43 was developed as an improved CQB cartridge by the 5th Group Special Forces, it is now very popular with hog hunters because of the devastating performance combined with the AR15 platform.
It has apx 80% of the performance of the 308 in a much lighter platform.
We have designed a 5 groove hybrid rifling similar to 5R with a low land to groove ratio to increase the bore area and lessen bullet deformation which leads to better accuracy, we have found that our 5R Melonite QPQ barrels consistently produce 60-90fps more than most SPCII 10 and 11 twist 4 groove barrels with the same loads. Hornady's 110gr HPBTs reach 2600fps from our 16" barrels and normally shoot under 3/4" groups at 100yds, with better shooters groups are 1/2" so they shoot better than some high dollar stainless barrels and most match grade 5.56s . Hornady's 120gr SST works very well on deer and hogs. With handloads it is possible to push a 100gr Nosler to 3000fps from a 16" barrel, nothing else with a 16" barrels comes close to the performance of a 6.8. The Melonite(QPQ) treated barrels we sell will last twice as long as stainless barrels and the final finish meets or exceeds stainless steel corrosion resistance.
The 6.8SPCII and 6.8x43 use the same ammo including SSAs Tac loads and Wilson Combats ammo
uses the same size dies, only the throat in the chamber is different
