So I got to go out and make a stand today. It was late so I only had time for one. Anyways I had the Foxpro about 30-40 yards out in some sage brush next to a fence line and played the baby cottontail.. The wind was perfect and was slightly blowing at my back. I thought for sure I would see a yote. There are also quite a few tracks in the area and last week we heard a lot howling in the morning. About 10 mins into the stand I heard a crow cawing behind me. Along with two other followers. And directly in front of me was another about 150 yards out. I kept glassing to see if I could see anything else. After the crows circled the caller for about 5 minutes they lost interest and flew off. After about 25 minutes I gave up on the stand and was kicking myself for leaving my shotgun at the truck. They were close lol.
So after that I texted a buddy who is big into yote hunting and told him about the whole thing. Hes killed his fair share of dogs. He was telling me that a coyote probably wasn't far behind the crows. He said that coyotes sometimes work as a "team" with crows and magpies and are held up until the crows make a move. I've also heard that "every coyote has a magpie/crow." Is there any truth behind this? What do you guys think? Was I busted by some crows?
