Rod,
Thanks for posting the pictures. I had a great time as I do anytime we get together.
Nasa,
I've been saying the same thing for years. I don't live far from Rod over in East Texas and our coyotes over there are rather large too. Quiet different than the West or South Texas coyotes, but they come to the call the same way.
Here are a few pictures I lifted off the video we shot.
This is the first coyote of the morning. He was the lead coyote in a triple that came. The other two didn't appear mangy but I new Rod would be on the lead dog so I shot him to record the kill on video. The other two bugged out never offering a shot.
This is the coyote decoy as it was set out on our second stand of the morning. We were only about 600 yards from our first stand. There was a strip of tall grass and thin trees about 15 yards wide that seperated two fields. I put the caller hanging in a small tree in this strip between the field and placed the decoy on the downwind side of the strip facing the caller. We were facing this strip so we would have a view of both fields.
After only seconds this coyote comes blazing in from our up wind side (left).
I hit the mute button in hopes it would slow him up or stop him. He kept coming, but shortly after it's aparent that he spotted the decoy and come to a screeching halt.
I put it right on his shoulder and let it fly. Down he went.
This is a picture of a coyote kissing his butt goodbye. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Here is a couple of pictures to get an idea to his size.
I'm not sure how many pictures are allowed per post so I'll post the pig pics in the next post.
