Congrats Bowyer, good story. It's great when you just happen on a coyote before it's responded to your call. You can watch him react to different things and gain insight into what's going on in his head. A dog that's rolling in the clover has probably got his fill and is enjoying a nice after dinner lounge in "his" easy chair. He might not be too interested in dessert. But even on a full belly, she (probably she) wants to know what's screwin around with one of her pups. I'm by no means an expert on coyote hunting (still a novice actually) but it makes sense to me that depending on what situation you find a coyote in (hungry, full, pressured by other predators, with young, etc.) different stimuli will be needed to entice it to get up off its butt and investigate. I've just started using coyote vocalizations and I think I'll try closing my stands with some pup distress in the future. Thanks for the story.
