Healthy female coyote down
Arriving just after legal shooting light I was in no rush to setup as we had some fog out this morning making for a very quiet walk in. With the wind coming out from the SE, I setup my ecaller/decoy about 35 yds out in front and slightly to my left. I got settled in and waited a few minutes before sending out a few howls into the morning air.
I waited a few minutes scanning the area for any movement before screaming out with some dying rabbit sounds. I only planned on doing this one set this morning so wasn’t in a hurry. I did more sitting and watching then screaming out. About 15 minutes into the set as I am sitting there just taking it all in out of the corner of my eye I spot something. I turn my head and there is a coyote 20 yds away from me. She seen me turn my head and didn’t like what she saw so started running off. As I got onto the scope following her, she stopped about 30 yds later (50 yds from me) I immediately took the shot. She did a few death spins before trying to run off but didn’t more than a few yards before falling over for good.
Skinned this one on site…. Oh I should mention I always keep my decoy spinning and have my ecaller playing (very softly) some sort of dying rabbit sound, that way when/if the coyote enters the field they see the decoy and hear the soft dying rabbit sound keeping their eyes off me… At least that’s the plan.
Enjoy the pics….

That's a good thing you are doing. I hope you get many more like her.
Good luck,(but it appears you know what you are doing).

A dead yote is a good yote in my book.

Another nice coyote! Looks like the action is heating up for you.

Re: Healthy female coyote down
nice shooting, might reward you with a healthier deer population next season. ive been looking at buying one of those caller/decoys since we have a large population of coyotes in my area and can never get them in closer than 70-80 yds and being bow only (88) that presents a problem. which brand are you using and where did you buy it?
