Hey guys,
Hope everyone is having a great start to the new year.
I've been after these coyote ever since the middle of December when I would see them showing up at the farm every time I went out for some late season deer.
I had a really great deer season taking a buck and a doe and hadn't seen any coyote until late season.
I had a huge 11 pointer show up on camera and I decided to try my luck and give it a go but every time I went out, sure enough coyote would always be walking around. I would see them about 80 yards away ( too far for crossbow) walking the same path around the same time ( 3pm)
It's been a few weeks since I had a chance to get out but this past Saturday I had a chance.
It was the day we got hit with that major snowstorm.
That didn't stop me and my buddy from trying it out.
I figured we should go for an afternoon hunt since they were always seen around the 3 o'clock hour.
We got to the farm at 2 and I had set up the primos spinning rabbit decoy 30 yards away and had the foxpro caller with a cottontail in distress going.
We were set up just before 3.
I started with the volume way up and 2 minutes later I lowered the volume and let the call go on for about 5 mins.
I waited 2 minutes and started calling again.
It was snowing really bad and out of the corner of my eye I see a coyote charging at my decoy. I had enough time to raise my shotgun and I dropped her in her tracks.
After we went for a closer look and took a few pictures we decided to give it another shot since we drove through a snowstorm and had only been hunting for about 20 minutes.
We sat down again and I waited 10 minutes to settle things down and I started calling again. Same call and volume settings.
Again within 10 minutes another coyote came rushing in to the decoy.
He gave me a perfect 30 yard shot and I rolled him pretty good.
This was a really fun and fast hunt.
A nice big female and male that wont be bugging and deer or Turkey this winter.
