Just got back from an early evening hunt, and i can't believe how excited and disgusted I am. I took everbody's advice and went and bought some calls. A coyote howler and an open reed distress call. I went out just at dusk, set up towards the bottom of an open hollow. Started calling with a few barks and howls then turned on the E-caller with grey fox pup distress. Within minutes had a nice coyote come running directly to the speaker and stop dead. I moved one inch to aim and as I did the coyote spotted me and was taking off twice as fast as he came, I took a quick shot with my 223 but missed,"no blood or fur found". I'm so happy to have called one up, but really wish I didn't miss. That's hunting. Could I have done something better?, other than shoot straight. The shot was only about 40 yards. Next time I'm gonna take my 12 gauge with #4 buck. There are fox in the same area, do you guys think this will cause significant pelt damage?
