Good weather, calm wind, about 25 degrees. Started off today around 1400. I went and hit several good looking spots (10) or so... Using only rabbit distress and coyote vocalizations. Spent approx 30-40 min each stand. Felt like I got in real clean on all the sets. Just wasn't getting a response.
Then I went to a familiar spot & look what was on the way in...
I mean everywhere! (it had snowed & these were fresh)
So I crept in and placed the caller & decoy about 40 yds into the field, & back to my stand.
I hit the cottontail distress, it played out through its sequence... I played it again after a 5 min wait... MOVEMENT and FAST here comes a yote' charging the decoy! He gets to about 10 yds from call and bolts! I get him in the scope and bang right up the rear, Flop!
Then I go to pup distress, it plays out about 30 seconds... I wait about 5-10 min... nothing, I hit pup distress again. plays out... nothing. So I'm about to get up & I catch movement in the corn stalks. Another yote' about 125 yds or so! I make a little noise getting the gun on her but she cant tell what I am and just locks up
I settle down & squeeze the trigger. Flop!
I've been lucky! It's just coming together this yr!
