Coyotes in my area, most often are not hard pressed for food or territory. Coyotes in the open won't come close, while calling them into the open hills.


Mostly over the last 5-6yrs, I've been shooting long. 2-600yrds give or take. I do alright.


I'm an experienced stalker/[45 seasons] worth. On a loud day, I play heck getting closer than a 1/4 mile. But when the wind is over 20 mph, I stand a better chance of getting close on loud groundcover. Some hunters don't think their hearing is all that much. I would never agree with that assumption. They've impressed & humbled me many times.


I'll bet more guys are busted from their noise or from being seen. Than anyone might ever figure. As they walk to their stand.


After I spot one & make my plan to enter the same section.

I'm extremely quiet & move slowly & methodically. Still many coyotes have pegged me from afar. Making only the slightest of a snap, or a faint crunch. Their hearing is impressive.


I've called a few from cover out on the open hills. But they either lope wide way out there panning my way. Or hang up 1/4 mile away, staring. I've also had a few that were just indifferent. Or lost interest.
