Rabbit's getting scarce but managed to get another quail

[ZekeZX10]

I think the coyote population is booming because rabbits are getting really scarce so I think I'm going to buy an Icotec Predator call https://icotec.com/products/nomad-plus and start actively going after coyote...also the local ranchers aren't too happy with the coyotes, a lot of calves around right now.

Well managed to get a quail. When I use the 30 cal I try nailing them across the back while they bend down to feed or take a headshot so I don't trash the breast meat. Off a little bit but didn't mess up the breast meat too much.

Yup, you have good coyote bait for sure.

How are you not destroying the quail with your .30? Lol

I either take head shots or when they bend down to peck at the ground I try to just graze them in the back, that does trash them but will avoid the breast meat. This one barely grazed his back but the way he was angled still caught part of the right side of the breast meat

I park that thing and walk way out when I'm looking for rabbits

Great hunt man! Yeah I've noticed that's a tiny amount of meat on them.
