So I got into this all-consuming mess of coyote hunting with a buddy of mine about 5 years ago, splitting the cost of a foxpro wildfire II and dumping a few hundred dollars into some decent lights. He's just recently had a new baby boy and hasn't been able to get out much, so I look forward to when we can get out and get after them. The last 2 times we've been out we've seen coyotes, but in the most frustrating way possible. 2 weeks ago after hunting all morning and hearing some but never seeing them, we go to our local horseshoe league end of year tournament/ picnic. 10 horseshoe pits lined up behind the roof of our local rifle range, full of guys drinking beer and throwing horseshoes.... doesn't 'Ol Wiley trot right across the entire width of the rifle range at exactly 100 yards.... stopping for a few moments to give everyone a good look at him before breaking back into the woods. incredible. Last night after a long, unproductive sunset stand with coyotes howling all over we head back into town talking about what we may or may not have done wrong or right.... there goes 'Ol Wiley bouncing across the road 30 yards in front of the truck. it's so rare to actually be able to see them in the thick woods around here it's almost a special event to get a good look at one of them. They sure do know how to frustrate a couple fellas.... but all you can do is laugh about it.
And pictures are always fun so here's my first, and biggest coyote from a few years back.
