Yote down

[dbpredator]

Well I went out today to see if I could kill a couple of coons and decided I would try a quick stand for a coyote before it got dark.

So I set up my call about 80 yards away from some thick brush and retreated back about 50 yards watching over the bank of the river.I started with female bark howls for a couple of minutes and turned to coyote pup distress.Soon after, a coyote started barking in the brush and wouldn't move so I tried a couple of different sounds but he wouldn't budge till I put on coyote with cottontail distress,he came in fast then to about 70 yards and I shot him with my 22 mag. He circled around a couple of times and then took off so I sent another round after him but I think I missed.
By now it was getting dark and I didn't have a light so I told my brother to come with a light as he was with the 4 wheeler a ways off.
When he got there we soon found the coyote only about 40yards from where I shot him.
He turned out to be a big male.
For you experienced coyote hunters feel free to correct me anywhere you think I might have gone wrong.
Thanks.

Good shootin. You got it called in and killed so I can't say you probably did anything wrong.

Sounds like you had success, keep it up

I've only had success a couple times with calls, but I'm not a hardcore yote hunter. I have had to switch up calls to bring em intothe open. Coyote pup in distress worked well for me. There was a coyote kill count thread a month or so ago, but I haven't seen it in a while. Nice job, if you did anything wrong, I'm not the one to point it out for you. Looks like you did everything right to me.

Calling only coyotes????

I'm calling tomorrow morning in wide open country that is near a feedlot refuse pile (carcass pile), so they are t hungry! Was thinking I would try some challenge howls but pup in distress is a good one too.

May cut a dog shaped silhouette out of cardboard to used as a "decoy"

Pups distress is usually my last call out of the bag. I always start with some sort of rabbit or bird sound. But.....you got him killed...so guess it don't really matter

Pup in distress was going to be my last sound because it was almost dark and I didn't have a light but why don't you use it? Does it keep away certain coyotes?

I do use it. And it will work on some. Some dogs nothing works on seems like. Just personal preference I guess on which order I will make a stand. And I'm sure it works better when there are actually pups around. But we've killed dogs over it any time of the year.
