That is the question! I am hunting a field where I have killed many coyotes over the years. I reach my setup place about 8:30, so I am early and still in some daylight. I wait to start calling for it to get darker. Humidity is over 90% with rain imminent and thermal is not nearly as good as usual. About 5 minutes before I plan to start calling I see a pair coming across the field. They are getting closer all the time and I’m trying to get as much darkness as possible.
I begin calling using a favorite rabbit sound to which they pay no attention whatsoever. They are now abreast of me and within 200 yds. where I know that I can make a kill. I switch to another prey sound, nothing. I switch to a coyote vocal and still they pay no attention, but keep paralleling me. The question is what would you do? The video shows that I did not shoot.
