Well #2 fell for me today! Today is my birthday, I turned 30 today. Today me and my boy took the motorcycle out for a ride, to check out some areas I had never hunted before. There was coyote poop just everywhere on the roads. It is a mixture of old fields, wood, and other Army training areas. Later I talked to my buddy and told him that we should go hunting this evening. So we decided to go about 6 this evening.
So we get out to the woods this evening, set up in the first spot and get ate up by the mosquitos. Stay there for about 5 minutes, can't stand it anymore and leave. We walk down the road, and find a spot where an old road goes through the woods. We set up on both sides, but I set up wrong. I was facing the wrong way, and kept hearing something behind me. We get up, and walk about 20 yards, a coyote takes off through the woods.
So we walk up the road to the top of the hill, and that coyote just starts barking his head off. I tell my buddy, we are busted, might as well leave. But then I thought, if I can keep him barking, Jake can sneak up on him. So I start out with a pup in distress on a THO open reed, Jake starts sneaking in. We go at it for about 20 minutes, him barking and I'm doing the distress thing. The coyote once lets out a short howl, not sure if it was a alarm or a what.
I'm not expecting anything to come to me the whole time. Out of the blue, here he comes, about 25 yards from me. It is a black coyote! I throw up the Mossberg 835, and the #4 Buck puts him on the ground! It was a young one, I know some don't like the idea. Probably not as smart as some others.
We go to a few more spots, I think we were to loud or something. I would start calling and coyotes would start barking their heads off. I'm going to try a sneakier approach next time. I do pretty good, but sometimes my buddy Jake is a little loud. Am I wrong to think we are busted when they bark?
It was a good birthday, killing my #2 coyote just topped it off! I'll post some pics on here tommorow. Thanks for reading.
