I've shot half dozen coyotes over the years, mostly deer hunting (one with a bow). I started calling in ernest last year. 25+ stands, and....nothing. Called a small one in one afternoon, but never saw it. Saw the fresh tracks in the snow when I walked out. I went out with a friend of mine (a REALLY good coyote hunter) twice and we called three in at once (took one) and two at once the second time (took one again). Got up early today and set up in a nice overgrown field....nothing. Second stand was across road to cut corn field. Set Foxpro up on knoll in some brush about 60 yds in from woods. I set up standing on a stone wall behind a tree (needed the height) about 100 yds cross wind. I was using rabit distress calls when I saw this bobcat low crawling in. I took him at about 90 yards when I had an open shot. I was pretty excited, but worried what a .204 40 gr bullet would do. Bullet dropped him right there, no mess. I'm pretty excited over it.
