AdrianJHare Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 This morning I took my annual walk up the road and noticed the coyote tracks coming right out of my own property and crossing into the woods across the road so when I got back I decided to go for a hunt. We can just start to walk the fields here and after all the fun I had at the sportsmen show howling and kikiing entertaining the general public on the mouth call I thought as the day was nice and it was cool that I would try a setup or two before I get going with the day. The first setup was the ticket, as I sat I started with howling on the mouth call and then waited for about 3-4 minutes and started a squealing as a distressed rabbit. I did that for a 4-5 segments and then stopped and waited about 10-15 minutes and did another squealing about 30 seconds and stopped. As I sat there staring out in the field thinking that maybe they are back in deep I decided to try again and out of the corner of my eye running at mach #1 comes running a yote and right at me. I waited still and she kept coming and at 40 yards locks it up and turns and heads back. I followed her with the 270wsm and as she slowed for a second look BANG and down she goes. I was frigin excited to see a female as this may stop some of the population for sure or slow it down anyway. Here's the setup and the yote where it dropped on the left The Prize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should ask. I have seen a few birds , but no gobbling yet here. Now I know other areas are hearing the birds, I guess they are scared to gobble here because of that Nova LOL!
