A few years ago I decided to hunt coyotes. I read everything I could get my hands on. Got on the web sites and downloaded several mp3 sounds to create a CD. I took a CD player, my camo, and my .243 and headed to our hunt club. I set-up the CD player in the center of a 100 yard X 300 yard field. Then sat on the field edge on a cross wind (expecting the coyotes to come from down wind).

I started the CD player (with 6 minutes of silence to allow me to get to my stand). After a challenge bark and a hurt pup sound, a largecoyote trotted onto the field about 200 yards away. I was so excited, I ended up shooting over its back and watched as it ran across the field and into the woods. I was felt sick for missing, but thought - calling them in was way too easy. I've set-up and called another 15 times since and have never got another shot. I've only seen two other yotes and just got aglimpse as they spotted me first and ran. I live in the east and calling the in wooded areas is challenging. I haven't given up, but its not easy hunting yotes in the East. The morale of the story is- Don't give up!

While in Colorado last year. I saw 4 yotes... they're everywhere. I've shot one and did a full mount.
