Coyote 50

Snowshoes

Well-known member
More snow, colder temperatures, snowshoes, and a coyote decoy was part of this mornings hunt.
Snowshoe a quarter mile from the parked truck, set the decoy out 50 yards from where I would sit and then after 15 minutes have a pair of coyotes coming across the field to the north of me. The back coyote stops and gives the decoy some stink-eye. The coyote then swings south and V-lines towards the decoy.
Once the coyote clears the cattails, I howl & then drop it where it stood. (63 yards away)
The coyote and decoy were 32 yards apart.
I have had mixed results with decoys, sometimes the work and other times they just plain don't work.
Today it worked.
I was kind of expecting the coyote to be a male but it was a female.

Number 50 Congrats, Snowshoes. I put out a decoy one night and when the coyote saw it, it froze and just looked at it. Drt. Extra work for sure. WTG.

A few years back, after some cottontail distress calls, I had a pair come across a lake on a dead run only to freeze when they seen the decoys ( I had two decoys out that time). Only problem, the coyotes were close to 300 yards out. I tried a shot but missed

Thank you fratri, seems as my age increases, the coyote numbers are somehow decreasing :)Whats that all about?
Between not hunting coyotes as hard as I used to and with more guys now out hunting them, my numbers are definitely down.
Not sure I will see those 75 to 90+ dogs a year again but can always hope
