After setup i started the 1st call about 10:15 PM last night. I did not use the call that much, only few times in 1.5 hour . The area is a high coyote traffic AG area . I worked scanning the area the whole time while set-up and standing on top of a Bed of a flat-bed 5th wheel trailer behind a coral with a few horses in it. .. with ZERO Moon.. it was real dark, and just spotted cloud ceiling.
It was just couple minutes past midnight and ( 2 ) dogs crossed threw fence into the far side of the pasture about 400 yard out and made their way toward the coral/barn area . I visually picked the largest most mature looking dog out of the 2, using the Rifle/NV clip-on, and a little magnification. and waited till he got inside the 150 yard line, and dropped him .

After I dropped him. I did a few scans to make sure no others were around, cleared my chamber, did another therm. scan for any stray that might be there . Then I hit, 'Domestic Pup Cries ' on the FP for about 15 seconds and turned Off.
About 10 minutes latter. This Dog comes into a side property Hazelnut orchard about 150 yrd. out, and starts BARKING repetitively Non-Stop, and i mean he was on a mission just Barking non-stop . I watched him a good minute just Barking. Then he just stepped into a sight-line that was clear shot and I dumped him between tree rows .
I packed-up and was back home before 02:00 AM .

Congrats on the double. Might just be the picture, but it looks like you got yourself a shorthair coyote and a longhair coyote. Quite a variation in my area. Coarse hair, fluffy hair, short smooth coats when you'd think they'd be nicely furred up and vice versa at times. Probably Global Warming got them all screwed up. :D

One was the standard plain-jane coyote brown, but the other was a little specked and darker coat . The speckled color darker, he did get a little scrufed up some ..LOL . Dragging him back. I had to cross a patch of Blackberry runners to get back into the field I was working out of. so his coat was probably laying a little smoother before I got to him.
