Dog's first dog

[zackcarp]

So I took a friend and his son on thier first javelina hunt over the weekend. I also thought it would be a good time put my dog into some hunting situation. Along the way we decided to set up a stand to call in either a coyote or pig. My friend and his son set up on one side of a tree while I sat on the other. I positioned my dog about 5 yards off the tree. Within the first 90 seconds of hand calling aggressively, I saw a coyote coming hard about 150 yards out. I told my buddy and was waiting for his 12 year old to shoot... this dog was still coming fast. I really didn't want my dog's first stand to be a coyote fight, so after the coyote got to about 35 yards out I put the hammer down.

 

This was my first time calling with a dog and I was very surprised how effective it was.

Great shot! Not sure about the Javelina hunting part, with a dog. Check out the "Dogging Coyote's" video's sometime.

I think I can tell where you shot him

Yeah, I wasn't too sure about it myself. But everything worked out ok. Even found some nice bucks to keep an eye on over the year.

Gorgeous pup! How old is he? I'm sure he could hold his own against a coyote!

She is only 18 months. She still has a little bit more growing to do. But yeah, she was almost double the size of the yote.

Congratulations on having a great dog. Would love to have mine along but blowing a call around him, I'd become a meal.
