Big male Saturday morning coyote
Got to the farm and was setup by 1st light. Started off with a few howls from my hand calls and then went to dying rabbit with the ecaller.
About 12 minutes in, I spot a coyote on the snow part of the field about 400 yds out..... I loose sight of it as it gets off the snow portion of the field. (Hard to see them in the low light conditions off the snow). About 2 minutes later I spot not 1 but 2 coyotes come around the rise in the field and about 150 yds out. They are coming from left to right. 1 coyote continues walking straight into the bush on my right. The other started to follow as well so I let out a loud "WOLF" sound causing him to stop for the 150 yd shot putting him down in his tracks. Played pup distress, the other popped out about 400 yds away but wouldn't come any closer. Too far a shot for my abilities. 1 is better than none :)
Coyote is in great shape with a great hide that will get tanned.
