Hello, all. I signed up to this site for one purpose in mind - to leave a comment on on this question, "How rare is a black coyote?". Well, I have hunted since I was a boy, and I'm now forty-three. I have never seen a black coyote, that is, until this year! I found a scrape, set my camera and left the area. When I returned to see what was working the scrape, I saw that it was a small four-point. A couple does made their presence, and to my surprise, a black coyote came to the site as well! Since I had the camera on a scrape, I set it to take three pictures at a time. The coyote came in, left and then returned. He marked the buck's scrape - wow! This got me fired up, and I was ready to do some predator calling. I ordered a Mojo Critter and an IcoTech electronic call to help me out. I found a good site to set up and got behind a nice-sized rock. I did call the coyote in, made the shot, found blood for about thirty to forty yards and that was the start of what became my most sickening hunting story. My wife and I searched for hours trying to find him but never did. I shot him with a .22 magnum. A couple days later I purchased a .243 Remington. I presently have five cameras in the area in hopes he might have survived the shot, but I doubt he did.
