I went out last Saturday and made a few stands. I started early and was on my first stand by 630. I waited about 10 minutes before I started with Vole Squeeks on vol. 30. I went through a few distress calls and at 17 minutes I played female lone howl #1. I immediately got a couple tips and howls back, they were loud but sounded 300+ yards away. I female challenged back then male challenged then coyote growls followed by pup screams.
A coyote came blasting over a ridge to my left 300 yards away!! At full speed she covered the distance to the caller in seconds! I muted the call but there was no stopping this coyote!! It came in knocked over my caller and was gone without changing speed! With a direction change at the caller I was unable to get a shot off! Adrenaline rush!!
My second stand I got set up facing west. I started with Bay Bee Cottontail. At 2 minutes I see a coyote swing to the south 300+ yards away. It was a bit far for the .223 so I let it go. I finished the stand at 21 minutes.
My third stand was blank.
My fourth stand was a repeat of the first but with a twist. I got set up facing NE. Again I started with Bay Bee Cottontail. 10 seconds in I see a coyote top up and skyline itself 250 yards straight in front of me! He stopped and was looking to his right, my left. I looked out that way and see this female blasting in from 6-800 yards out! Nonstop! I muted the call when she got to 150 but there was no stopping her. She was locked on the caller all the way. She bumped the caller AGAIN!! This time turning straight away trotting/bounding. I took the first real opportunity I had and Texas heart shot her at 125 yards!
You can see her and the caller right in front of me!
Here is the panoramic. She came from the tree way out to the left center
Happy Hunting!
