The Weather channel was showing snow accumulation to hit today so figured with the storm coming maybe things would respond to the x24 last night.. first stand called in a pretty good size bobcat to squeaky squeaky so I got some video of it working to the call (this year is our first year to trap bobcat but they still wont allow us to hunt/shoot them).. 2nd setup while playing distress i had a coyote backdoor me and couldn't get on him in time before it made it into thick cover, tried to convince it to come back out and ended up calling a different coyote in from across the feild where I was anticipating them to come from originally. My judgment of distance was off and When I shot could see i hit it as it took off running even stumbled an fell down once while running back across the feild..(didn't end up finding that one).. 3rd setup took about 10 min and had a big female killed, she responded to a series of juice howls after some distress and ended up coming in to fight sounds short time later....4th setup was only a mile or so down the road from previous stand, while playing cal taylors pasture poodle distress I seen one coming in hard, as I was getting settled on that one I noticed 3 more coming about 250-300 yards in the background of scope. Shot the first one @ 100 yards (young female) and got back on the remote with howls then pup fights and ended up getting another opportunity at the 3 that came back in which I dropped a big male and the remaining 2 never slowed down again... 5th stand started with 3 different distress sounds for the first 7-8min then ripped off a series of howls, immediately following got a aggressive response to my west few hundred yards away waited several mins of just silence and no coyotes i played submissive whines and still did not see anything, decided to try tablescraps fight and a pair come out from woods but not wanting to come in my direction much closer. Took a pretty long shot and dropped one(male) while the other ran to cover i got back on the first coyote and seen it needed another round to finish it off, after going to get picture and drag the dead one to the feild edge i started back towards my gun and caller and seen 2 other coyotes along the creek in the same feild but my rifle was mid ways between us somehow I managed to get back to my rifle while they were still in the feild and got 1 of them killed as well(female)... seen 11 coyotes total 5 of the 6 that i shot were confirmed kills and got to watch a bobcat for several mins
