Doin' Better

[varmithunter]

I called in my first coyoties the other day. They were too far off to get a shot off but its the first response I've had to my calling. I was sitting in a blind near a field and saw them come in down wind. There were five of them. They in on the opposite side of the field. They came out in the field a little ways, stopped and ran right back into the woods. Next time I'll use better cover scent and maybe kill my first coyote.

next time try to set up so you can nail them before they get down wind.the best way to do that is have a shooter down wind of you when your calling.congrats though on getting a response.but unfortunetly you now have 5 coyotes educated to your calling.

When I`am setting up to call I try to put a barrier down wind of my stand.
something like a creek,woven wire fence even a road, anything to make it a
little more difficult for the coyote to get down wind and catch my scent
before I can get a shot off. Its been my expierence that most coyotes will,
at some point in their responce try to circle to get down wind of my calling
location. By selecting a site that makes it a little more diffecult for them
to get there it keeps them in gun range a little longer.
