Wind from the East? Coyotes come the least!
When you have to pick the sun versus the wind? Always take the wind (in your face)
What was the weather temperature?
I hunted last Saturday, nearly 60 degrees, i know there are coyotes there, they don’t commit!
Last stand of the day and I spot a coyote at 300 yards, I am going to shoot it, it drops out of sight, I glass, catch it again at 451 yards. It lays down!!
I would have shot it, but by the grace of God for it, 3 major power lines were in my scope vision and I was NOT going to chance it for the life of me on a ZERO $$ Coyote.
I can tell you out of the 88 Coyotes my partner and I have kill beginning October 18th, very few died because they came into rabbit, bird, prairie dog or other dying critter sounds. Most died with some type of Pup distress or Coyote/pup fight.
We did get to watch a pair of nesting Bald Eagles for awhile on this stand;-)
