You have been calling for about 4 minutes and notice a coyote coming in about 300-350 yards out. It is coming across the hillside on the red arrow and will soon drop into the bottom where you won't be able to see it until it hopefully moves to where the yellow star is at about 150 yards. There is no significant wind. The purple arrow is the direction you walked into the stand and there is a chance the coyote could hit your scent trail. It is also possible that the coyote has spotted your goofball dog that can't hold still. The blue circle is where your caller is placed 25 yards in front of you. The coyote stops a couple different times when it is around 300 yards out and looks your direction. What would you do?
#1 - Take the long shot?
#2 - Wait for it to get closer and hope that your dog or scent trail doesn't scare it off before you get a better shot?
I'll post the result on what I did and the coyote did in a couple days.
