First of 2022

Got to the farm and setup just after 4:30 pm...... I was watching the big bush on my left but kept an eye over my right shoulder. After about 10 minutes a coyote pops out of the small ravine on my right side. He somehow managed to appear about 30yds from the ravine without me noticing him.
Once I spotted him, I shifted over and he saw my movement. He was staring at me for a good 10 seconds trying to figure out what I was. He decided to turn back toward the bush where I yelled out a WOLF sound to get him to stop. I took the 70 yd shot rather quickly. At the shot he spin once and ran back into the ravine he came out of. I played the caller for another 10 minutes before going to look for him. Once the set was over and I went to pick up my caller I noticed the blood trail right away. He went about 50 yds before piling up. Nice to finally put one down. Enjoy the pics....

Good job..great write up.

Nice start to the congrats

awesome. looks like he had a can of tremclad spraying off of him.

I enjoy reading your coyote hunting posts and looking at your pictures. Keep it up!

So when you put your caller out do you sneak out or just set it out and head back to you hide

Then when do you start to call and for how long you sit

Well done again!

Yes, I walk out and place my caller about 40 yds out maybe even a bit more at times and then go back and sit in a nice comfortable spot. I might take a minute or two before I am ready to call.
I spend that minute or two adjusting my seating position, meaning maximize my vantage point, adjust my turning radius and get real comfortable so I don't move while I am waiting :)
As for sounds, I usually keep my caller playing all the time. When I am not blasting it, I lower it right down so I can barely here it.... Then shout out with my hand calls, keep repeating the process until something comes out, or I leave.
Depending on how much time I have, my sets will vary from 15 to over 30 minutes.... I find most coyotes come in between the 5-7 minute mark...
One of the most important things is getting into the setup location undetected.... Watch the wind and the amount of noise you make getting to the location, I strongly believe it is the setup more than the sound that will produce the most coyotes.

Great job as always Frank and great advice too
