last two times yote hunting have come to a new stand and settled in, let out a series of howls and had two mule deer doe stand up from the brush about 400 yds or so away and start moving away, one actually was running directly away from me, I started with a distress on my tally ho, making it sound like a fawn distress as best as I can make, had one turn each time turn and come back to within 100 yds of me and stand broadside looking my way (would have made a good shot with the muzzle loader), one actually came all the way behind me to get down wind and she was at about 50 yds when she must have winded me and boogied... anyone else have these pesky critters interupt their yote hunts!!!

Yep! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif I use a Brad h. Antler call that I got a couple years ago. It's always with me. Besides the couple thousand coyotes, [yep that's correct] /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gifI've called in literally hundreds of mule deer as well as some whitetails over the years with it. We have a lot more mulies here, and they seem to respond to the call quicker than the whitetails. I have had as many as 30 within yards of me, standing, stamping,and staring at me in my Ghillie, wailing a fawn bleat on the call. I've had lots of them easily in bow range. I've had clients lying prone and jump up when the herd of deer came running in. They thought they were gonna get trampled.
I called one nice muley buck in from about a mile away. He jumped two barbed wire fences to get to us [3 of us]set up on a dirt pile beside a dugout. When he got to the bottom of the pile[40 yds. from us] he stopped and pawed and tossed his head for a minute or two and then trotted off.
Two weeks ago I was north hunting with Albertacoyotecaller. We were calling for bears. On one stand we called in Whitetail, elk, and moose with the fawn distress. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif We also called a coyote to within 12 feet. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Calling is like a box of chocolates....you never know what you're gonna get. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I had 32 mulies come in at once last winter. I actually got a picture of that one, but couldn't get more than 18 or so in the view-finder at once. It was still fun though. I don't remember a buck ever coming in, but sooner or later one probably will. Whitetail come too, but not near as often.
