Every hunt is a learning experience. Your first couple of hunts will be big-time learning experiences. After you hunt coyotes for a while, you'll have a much better idea of what to do and what not to do. Coyote hunting has a fairly large learning curve compared to other types of game. And you will miss shots, but after you nail a couple of coyotes, it becomes a little easier to keep the excitement levels under control and make better shots.

No matter how much you hunt, you will still miss a coyote every now and then. I missed one a couple of weeks ago I shouldn't have. I lined up, it was an easy shot for me, and just as I was about to pull the trigger, I had about a dozen fire ants get a hold of me. The stupid ants made me flinch just enough the shot grazed the top of his back.[:@]
