RE: Coyotes at night
I got one that is on track with the wolf story. Acutally I have 3....
Once, we called in 2 mountain lions....not one but 2!!!!! OH SH**!!!!!
Once I called in a black bear....OH SH**
and once I called in one mountain lion that didn't run away when we stood up and yelled, screamed and threw rocks at it. It walked closer to us. WE shot at it and finally frightened it off. WE notified fish & game and the warden suggested that something was wrong with that lion. Perhaps that feline desease (forgot what it's called) and/or rabis. In CA, we can no longer legally hunt mountain lions (bummer, lots of them too).
I've called in packs of coyotes, numerous kit foxes and grey foxes.
Bobcats too. I don't like night hunting because i get scared of lions/bears and I can't see the animal when i want to shoot. WE use the red lights and the "buddy system" too, but it's still too difficult.
Favorite time in cold, cloudy (no rain/wind) days.....I seem to get the best results then. Also, snow on ground, I get a lot of cats.
