Cold late afternoon coyote

Driving home from work the conditions for a coyote set looked good. When I got home I checked the wind, grabbed my gear and off I went. Got to the farm and all setup by 4:45.... It was a bit loud walking in the valley so I waited about 20 minutes to let things settle down before starting my caller.
It was cold out (-15C=5F) so I played a quiet dying rabbit sound, knowing the sound would travel through this valley area pretty good. I played this quiet sounding dying rabbit for about 4 minutes before I went silent.
I was silent for about 2 minutes before seeing this coyote crest the hill and make its way to the spinning decoy. She casually walked in allowing me to wolf her at about the 50 yd mark. She dropped in her tracks....

You're on a roll Frank
I'm 0-3 on my sits so far but I know things will change soon

What are you doing with the pelts? Buddy just had his returned from the trade house because there's too many to get rid of. They already told him last fall not to send them,but,he sent them anyway. I haven't quite got the whole story ,yet,but,some folks don't listen.

How do they turn out self tanning? Do you use the orange bottle stuff or another method? I have a couple really healthy looking yotes I'd like to trap and tan at my place since they aren't worth anything for sale.

Thanks for the links, a few tricks I hadn't heard of in there. I did a small bear hide (no head or paws) over the Christmas break it was my first try at self tanning and learned a few things to do differently in the future.

Great work Frank! You keep hammering those guys and i will keep hammering the fish in Nip.
