When Kimberly Bangerter\u2019s father agreed to partner with her at this year\u2019s World Championship Coyote Calling Contest, Kimberly doesn\u2019t believe he had serious designs to win. Layne Bangerter had won the Coyote Calling World Championship once before, but he\u2019d never partnered with one of his daughters, and he tried to manage her expectations going into the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kimberly had different ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe was more thinking it was a good father-daughter experience, which it totally was. But I was like, \u2018No, we\u2019re in this to compete. We\u2019re in this to win,\u2019\u201d she told Hunt365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the final day of the competition, Kimberly knew they had done well, but she wasn\u2019t sure whether they\u2019d won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was so beyond stoked. When we got back, my dad was talking to all the other teams, but I could hardly be around because I was so anxious,\u201d she said. \u201cI really wanted to win. I believed in our team because my dad and I worked well together, and I thought it would be awesome to be the first girl champion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That wish\u2014earned through two grueling days of hunting in Nevada\u2019s Elko region\u2014came true. The 26-year-old and her father bagged 13 coyotes over the two days of the contest, enough to earn both the championship and the prize for most coyotes killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Family Affair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s fitting that Kimberly won the championship with her father. Kimberly said he always tried to include his eight children in his outdoor pursuits, and as an aerial gunman and coyote trapper in Utah and Idaho, he had plenty of experience to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe would take us outside all the time. Just load up all the kids and go. It was just what we did as a family,\u201d Kimberly said. \u201cMy dad had a sticker at his work that said, \u2018hunt with your kids, not for them.\u2019 He was good at living by that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kimberly grew up in Idaho and now lives in Utah, and she remembers learning to shoot ground squirrels even as a kid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Exclusive:
Kimberly and her father went in with a game plan — and it paid off. (Photo: Kimberly Bangerter)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy dad trained us all how to shoot from a really young age. We\u2019re all pro-Second Amendment, pro-gun safety. That\u2019s very important to us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s tagged along with her brothers and father on hunting trips before, but in recent years, she\u2019s worked to expand her hunting repertoire to deer<\/a>, and she hopes to soon bag her first elk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone in the family wants to join Layne at the coyote calling championship. After her brothers and brothers-in-law earned high spots competing with their father, Kimberly decided it was her turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI said, \u2018I call dibs! I\u2019m your teammate next year,\u2019\u201d she said, laughing. \u201cHe wasn\u2019t expecting us to win. He said, \u2018These guys are killers, Kimberly. You\u2019ve got to understand that. They are really good.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kimberly expressed nothing but respect and admiration for her competitors, but when the coyotes were finally counted, those grizzled, veteran coyote hunters weren\u2019t quite good enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the World Championship Coyote Calling Contest, teams of two compete for two days in the region surrounding the town of Elko in northeastern Nevada. Teams that can kill five coyotes on the first day qualify for the second day of the competition. The first team back the second day of the competition with five coyotes wins the World Championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kimberly and Layne bagged eight dogs on the first day, and they were the first team back on the second. No other team killed as many as 13 coyotes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kimberly credits their preparedness and their calling strategy for their victory, but more than that, she believes their hustle and their positive mindset earned them the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust hustle,\u201d she said when asked to give advice to other hunters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Exclusive:
Kimberly’s advice for other coyote hunters? “Hustle.” (Photo: Kimberly Bangerter)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kimberly had to take off her coat and wade across a freezing December river to retrieve one of their kills. She says they hiked hard all day and sometimes sprinted after coyotes to save time. They ate on the trail and didn\u2019t talk much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTry to hustle and pay the physical price to accomplish it. It feels awesome,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what happened, the pair stayed positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was a key to our partnership. We stayed super positive. Hunting is so mental. Like my dad always says, shooting is confidence. You have to do things to keep up your confidence. To keep up your positivity,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hunt was filled with ups and downs. They had already bagged three coyotes on the first day when they saw two more come in. Layne shot at both, which would have given them their five-coyote quota, but when they walked over to retrieve the dogs, one of them had disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They missed other coyotes during those two days, and Kimberly lost Layne\u2019s shooting sticks. In another disappointment, her shotgun jammed as she turned to shoot \u201cthe biggest coyote I\u2019d ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThings are going to go wrong, but you have to have a good attitude. If one of us missed a coyote, we stayed completely positive the entire time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, Kimberly shot four coyotes with her 12GA shotgun and Layne shot the other nine with his AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA Special Experience\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For other women who hope to get out in the field, Kimberly recommends connecting with friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust start doing it. Find friends or family members that go and just start tagging along and learning whatever you can,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s physical, mental, spiritual, emotional\u2014you experience all of that together. It helps you grow with people and connect with your surroundings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those connections go beyond the stand or the blind, but hunting will further deepen those relationships, Kimberly said. Her fondest memories of the hunt are those small connections with her dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t celebrate when we shot a coyote because we were waiting for more to come in. But I\u2019d look over at my dad and we\u2019d smile at each other like, \u2018Yeah!\u2019 Those moments when you smile at each other, those are the best,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was one of our best father-daughter times ever,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt was such a special experience for the two of us and for our relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, Kimberly believes hunting should be a family affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an important family thing. That\u2019s big to me. It\u2019s important that families do this together, otherwise, hunting is going to die out. It\u2019s an American pastime,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fathers concerned that their daughters won\u2019t enjoy the experience or won\u2019t be able to stand the physical strain might take a page from Layne\u2019s playbook. He\u2019d competed with his sons and sons-in-law, but he didn\u2019t win a championship with a family member until he decided to take Kimberly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a really special thing we have,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kimberly used a 12 gauge shotgun and her dad carried an AR-15. His “go-to” coyote load is the Hornady 53g VMax out of his AR-15. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
