I killed this one tonight, a male, but I'll be darned if it doesn't look like a 6 month old pup. I'm wondering now if they really were breeding last fall when I posted the picture of two locked up.
Anyway I was calling on the south side of a secondary road where we've had decent success in the past. In fact my hunting buddy killed a big male there about a month ago. Just as I was getting started calling an ambulance came by and the coyotes sounded off, but on the north side of the secondary road. We killed a lot more on that side of the highway and already hit them hard this year. Anyway I finally spied two in the field after I raised my tripod to standing position.
It was hard to get their attention, but I finally got one coming my way. With some traffic at times I didn't know if he would cross the secondary road, so when I got him side to with no cars coming, I
killed him. Shot turned out to be 310 yds. DRT. We are allowed to shoot across the right-of-way on secondary roads.
I never did see the other one, but didn't do anymore calling. There was a huge bear in the field on my side about 200 yds. away and I felt a little antsy with him that close. So I got on out of there and took some pictures of the coyote. Here he is.
