Well, got out for a few stands fashionably late. First stand had a howl-back so I split the distance and set up again. Turned on the Foxpro playing my favorite tune...woodpecker...low volume. Did a series on Jays Rhino. Man I love that call. Waited a minute. Ran the volume up about halfway for about 30 seconds then back to low volume. Wasn't but a couple more minutes and ones sprinting in out of the edge of the sage from straight crosswind. He's coming at a good clip heading for the downwind side of the caller. When he got about 40 yards straight downwind of it he made an abrupt turn and headed right for it. Didn't realize how close he was to the call when I "whooped" to stop him. He locked them up and fixed his attention on me. Gave him a Sierra 55 gr. HP brunch. Bang...crumple...just over 25 paces from me and less than 20 paces from the call. Made one more stand and the wind was coming up so headed for the barn. Threw him on the fish scale and he was just under 37 lbs. Good size for this area. Anything over 30 is big around here.
A lot has been said about volume lately. Got me thinking. Even though this caller has more than enough volume I really can't remember using it at more than 1/2. No need. I run it close to it's lowest setting most of the time but it pumps out the volume if needed.
Have been putting the remote through the paces. As you can see the grass is fairly deep. I keep the remote in my chest pocket of my bibs while calling and press the buttons through the bib material. Hands are free that way. Works great.
Big thanks to Bruce Clemens (Yacolt Yote) for his quality shooting sticks. I was a bi-pod man but the sticks were the ticket for the area I was in today. I'm hooked. Way more mobile. Thanks Bruce! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
The stand....He skirted the sage to the right of the pic. Caller is in grass to the left. Coyote laying in grass in line with rifle.
Ugly person holding coyote....
