When we stopped at the place where we were going to unload the bikes and go set up to call I spotted a coyote working along a wooded edge to our north. Unfortunately the wind was not right and we never saw him again. We heard some howl way out in a big open field and my partner challenged them back, but another coyote also sounded off much closer to them. They were right at a mile from us, but I could see one of them charging across the field to where the other coyote sounded. We never did get any to come to us on our stand.
When we left, my hunting partner was driving separate, so I decided to look that big field over since I had to ride right by it. I spotted the same coyote that I saw from a mile away out in the field hunting about 200 yds. from the highway. Shooting from that highway is not allowed and there is too much traffic anyway. So, I took the closest road which went up into the field and stopped at a tractor. That put me right at half a mile away from the coyote. I set up the call and turned on a prey distress pretty loud. Immediately he started coming to me on the run. I killed him at about 85 yds. I think. It was a big male. Here is the video:
