Whats your opinion for this coyote response.

A buddy went out the other night. We have 12'' of snow its on the loud side walking. He started with a howl. Coyote stood up 420yds away cross wind on the neighbors and challenged him and started going nuts, this dog went on going crazy for 45 min. By buddy just sat to see what it would do. It never budged. He asked what I would of done. I told him to cut distance, but the snow was loud, kind of bright out with the snow. His only option would of been to swing 400 yds to the down wind side but that might of been impossible with out spooking it. He threw out some pup distress still wouldnt budge. No way to get access to the neighbors property, he is the kind of guy that pays his neighbors off so no one can deer hunt around his many properties.

Now that I'm a coyote hunting pro I would probably mess with it for a little while then just leave it alone. No need in educating it, just come back another night. Back in my learning days I would have hit that mofo with every sound on my call and educated him more than Albert Einstein.

Depends on what you mean by “Going nuts”.

Could be booger barking which is what they do when you’re busted or they are very suspicious of what they’re hearing. I would back out in that case because it’s rare that they break. You just educate them further by calling.

If a visual and they’re challenge barking and kicking up the ground etc. that would be a more territorial situation where getting closer could pay off big. However, it doesn’t sound like that is a good option in this case. Probably still best to back out.

Just my opinion.

I agree he said it was definety challenging. I asked him if it was warning barking, he said it did bark some. Hard telling without hearing it.

 

[Widow maker 223]

I just asked him if it did any short warning barks, he said ya. So If I would of been with him we would of left.

I've had some success with mimicking their challenge. Of course you never get eyes on in the brush country I hunt, but as long as they keep replying you can tell if they are coming or not. If no movement, just back out.

Busted!!

They can smell you well over 420 yards, see you at 2,000+ yards and hear you at 1/2 mile or more.

could it have been in a trap ?

best bet like others have said, leave and come back another day.

that being said, one fall night, we had a pair answer us from across the road. they walked out into the field and barked and howled then laid down and went to bed.

it took us awhile but cut the distance down to 200 yards or less and put both of them to sleep

This dog may have heard him pull up to the barn he parked in front of 20yds off the road. He set up 100yds from the truck.

That does make a difference.
