On our first coyote calling stand this morning at about 10:00 am we had a large female coyote show up to Pup Distress 3 sound on my X-Wave about 15 minutes into the stand.
She stopped about 100 yards out so I switched sounds to Vole Squeaks on volume 25. She started trotting closer and my hunting buddy for the day on his first calling stand ever dropped her with a 3" 1-1/2 oz load of TSS #3 shot.

Two stands later we were sitting about 30 yards apart with our shotguns and I had my X-Wave sitting between us about 15 yards out in front of us.
I started out with Adult Rat sound and at about 5 minutes into the stand a coyote ran up to the left of my Foxpro and crossing right in front of my buddy.

The above picture is #1 coyote on this stand a split second after my buddy hit him with some TSS #3 shot.
After the first coyote got shot a coyote about 400 yards away challenged us so I hit my #4 pre-set button and it is Male Coyote Challenge 4 sound on full volume. I let the Male Coyote Challenge 4 sound go for about 20 seconds and then switched to Pup Distress 3 sound on full volume, it is my #2 pre-set sound.
Within 30 seconds I saw a big male coyote heading our way from the direction that I heard the challenge from.

In the above picture is coyote #2 running by looking for a coyote to fight with.
Just after this picture was taken my buddy's TSS #3 shot dropped this coyote.
Pup Distress 3 was still playing on full volume when the below coyote which is coyote #3 for this stand showed up.

This #3 coyote was moving from left to right and stopped at close to 60 yards away. I shot this coyote with a 3" 1-5/8 oz load of TSS #2 shot.

#4 coyote for this stand was also heading from my left to my right and it stopped about 70 yards away. I held just over the neck and chest area of this coyote that was standing broadside. The 1-5/8 oz load of TSS #2 shot dropped the coyote straight down dead.

Here is my noob coyote calling buddy with the 4 coyotes that we shotgunned on one stand.
All it takes is one great stand to make my day.
