Drizzle didn't stop him

But the 243 did

This morning at the edge of daylight I slipped out for a set before heading to BM's wife service. Thought I would stay close to home so just up the road I start out across a small field. The wind was still but a drizzle was falling as soon as I get to the setup point " Figures" ::)

I get the caller setup and move back to a tree and angle towards the tightest shooting area in front of the setup and grab the Pup open reed from the Quaker Boy Howler pack and thought I would start the set with a light jack rabbit.

I blow the call for like 30 seconds and catch movement out of the left side and Holly Hanna :o A yote is running right towards me. I swing with the 243 and he catches the movement and stops and POW !

All said and done, A male down and one less to harass the neighborhood animals and deer.

A fast hunt, but I did find it to warm to move and the drizzle soon changed to a little harder fall, so I packed it in just happy for the time I got this morning.

I have lots of coyote sign and often hear them when trains go by. I have an older Johnny Stewart call with a few tapes. I need some pointers. Anything ya'll want to give.

Thanks guys,

rage, I have found that you have to keep at it when you start because you'll try a number of different calls and squences until it unfolds at about 100miles an hour in 10 seconds. Once you get it to happen then follow coarse and do the same things over. Always call soft to start and build volume on every call and even change to calls that have higher sounding tones. Most calls are Distressed calls and I will end a squence with a Howl or howling and even a fight of some sort.

The odd time I will start with a lone howl and then into distressed. Change it up but follow close to squences and times of pause close, and play the wind, that is very important.

Hope that helps and Thanks everyone, turkey season is getting close....
