I had a recent stand with a friend of mine that produced the most coyotes I have ever been a part of calling into one stand. The stand began by first navigating some cattle that acted like a herd of free range buffalo. This was at night mind you. When we made it safely to our stand we began calling with some female howls from an electronic call with some diaphragm howls mixed in. Within a few minutes we had two separate groups responding that were within a few hundred yards. We continued with distress calls from the electronic call. One by one our scan light began to pick up sets of eyes emerging from the wood line. First one set, then two, then three, and then a fourth set of eyes emerged from the wood line at around 200 yards. As they came into the open field we were able to see bodies. As we began the decision making process of when to shoot, two of the coyotes began to fight each other in the middle of the field. I had never seen that happen before so I was more focused on what they were doing than taking a shot. After the altercation between the two coyotes in the field, another lone coyote around 200 yards further away began to communicate with the pack of four near us. They barked at each other several times before the pack of four made their way towards the lone fifth coyote. We never did take a shot at these five coyotes but the experience of seeing them communicate the way they did was worth the shot not taken. The next thing we had to worry about was making it safely back to the truck through the herd of buffalo so we could continue on to our next stand.
