Parked the truck 8:45pm last night, walking into a light(under 5mph) east wind. About a 1/2 mile to blind, on the way in a coyote was close to the blind and we saw/ heard each other at the same time. It trotted a couple hundred yards and than walked out of the field. About 10 pm I heard a group vocal start up a mile+ to the SE. I grabbed my ecaller selected coyote group and started it a few seconds after the coyote stopped. 0 volume up to 10(mid range) about 10 seconds, 10 seconds steady and than volume reduction to zero in about 10 seconds. To me that's what a coyote group sounds like. Sat on the rifle for 20 minutes, didn't see anything. After an hour scanning out the window every 10 minutes, I had to pee. No bottle so going have to sneak outside. Scanned out several windows, nothing. Stepped out partially latched the door, scanned again. But can't see around blind corner to the bait. Took care of business behind blind. Stepped back to door and leaned/scanned around corner before door latch. Crap one on the bait(130 yards). Stood thinking what to do, there is a highway south about a mile, so I just waited until I heard a semi truck. When it lights were in view and tire noise was loudest I opened and stepped into blind. Waited about 10 minutes and another truck was passing, opened the window and placed rifle/tripod. Watched the coyote for several minutes until a broadside, still position. DRT. Skin able, just a couple cocklebur to comb out of the shoulder. Retrieve this morning.
