I went out last night to see what I could see. I've been working on the my sons house. The first set was on a field I have hunted a couple of times. Always set up on the NE corner of the property.
The wind was from the NNE. Last night I decide to set up on the middle of the field on the east side, so I could watch the back corner. Everytime they have came out of the SW or NW corners of this field. Well last night the coyote came out on the east side of the field, 25 yds south of me. We were both surprised to see each other. I swear it was watching me the whole time running across the field. No shots fired. The second set was a blank.
The third set was on the edge of a fence line and hay field. I was on my third sound a coyote fight/heat love story. I saw a rabbit come running out of the fence line. So I'am watching and here come a coyote. He's not in the field but the pasture side of the fence. tops at about 75 yds and its a clear shot. Down goes the coyote. Changed to pup distress, but no one else showed up. the fur was no good on this coyote.
The final set of the night was on a corn field. Got everything set up and started out with a distress sound. 3 minutes into the sound I see a coyote coming from the woods straight north of me. Rotate a little for position and wait. This coyote would run then stop,run then stop. I could see in the thermo it had no tail, and its head was a bright white spot. And it look like there was another one behind it coming too. It stops at about 150 yds and is just looking. I fire and hear the lovely whop sound and it down. I'am scanning looking for the second one and see nothing. Go back to wear i just shoot the first on and it gone. It is making it way back toward the woods. It got inside the wood line and that was it. It was a very ugly hairless coyote. No picture taken and didn't touch it.
It was a great night to be out even if it was -3 degrees, with very little wind. As always, thanks for taking the time to read my post.
