Last year I had a pack of coyotes move into the cut down across the road from my house. The very first time I hunted them I called in two, but they surprised me and I missed them with the shotgun. I tried hunting them several more times, but they were too call shy and eventually moved to their winter spot. Well a few weeks ago they came back across the road to their Spring den. Saturday night I decided to hunt the pack behind my house because they have annoyed me ever since I called them into the field a few weeks ago, but they were too far to shoot. As soon as I turned on the call (a few howls) the pack in front of my house sounded off. I also noticed that there was a single coyote on the other side of the cutdown barking. I thought that he may be an easy one so I packed up my things and headed across the road. Set up, tried a few distress calls then switched to vocals and they sounded off. A few minutes later I switched over to a denning call and about two minutes into it two of them come down the road. At about 60-70 yards the lead coyote must have senesced something and jumped into the brush. Just as the second one turned to go into the brush I anchored her. I tried to get the other one to come back, but he wouldn't. 60-70 yards .223 55gr Norma TipStrike
If you look, I hit her in the center of her ham and it came out about the same place on the other side. She dropped and never moved so I don't know what it hit that was vital, but it hit something.
