Yes that place stinks.. I bet I am pulling in coyotes from over a couple miles. They seem to be eating the fresh ones once they fill with maggots, while they leave some lay untouched.. I don't know what makes them pick certain ones to eat while they leave other ones alone.. I think the nastier they are the more they like it... I bet sum pups are getting old enough to eat vomit... I bet coyotes eat as much as they can and then run back to the den and throw it up for the pups to eat.

Underneath the interstate??
Those where not shot under a freeway. Closest freeway is a couple hour drive. I shot those coyotes with a Remington 700 sps tactical in 308 spitting 165 gr. Federal fusion. I don’t care about fur damage, at this time I just want them dead, the 308 makes them very dead.
Most of those were shot in the first few minutes of the stand after coming in to jackrabbit. Some came in after the 20 minute mark to coyote vocals and pup distress. Most were shot in the morning before noon and I stayed on each stand for 30-35 minutes. A couple hunts were late afternoon with the same sounds and tactics.
All were shot around a hundred yards or less. Most of the areas I am targeting are freshly cut fields. I have killed them while the farmer is simultaneously cutting. A lot of our wheat crop is a loss and a lot of farmers are just cutting and bailing it, cashing in of crop insurance or govt. subsidies...
