RE: NEW PREDATOR PHOTO CONTEST = PRIZES
Red Hawk, to get a coyote with the bow is just a matter of forcing yourself to take the bow every time out, instead of a gun. And eventually, it works. On the trip where I took this coyote with the bow, in Ks. by the way, we called for the better part or 3 days. We were fighting windy conditions most of the time but we still managed to call 8 coyotes and one bobcat in. We managed to kill two coyotes and missed one and didn't get a shot at the cat. If we'd be using rifles, I'd suspect that we could've gotten maybe 4 of five of the coyotes, and not the cat. We didn't see the cat until we got up from a stand to leave, and at that same stand we had 3 of the coyotes come in, and we missed the only one that came into bow range.
WV Hunter, that's a good and big female. Females where I hunt generally weight about 25-30 pounds and the males run about 30-35 pounds. You'll find that calling them in is addictive, especially when it works. I'd guess it will be tough to call them in your area, not because they are smarter or anything, but when they aren't thick like in some western states, it can be difficult.
noway, I really like my leafy camo top. I just got it last year and only use while bow hunting. I haven't had any trouble with it snagging any more than any other jacket that I wear while hunting. This one has a built in arm guard just for bowhunting and it works great. When calling back in that country, we all carry those little hand held pruners and we cut out a "hole" in the cedar trees so that we can sit back against the tree stump. I don't no if the leavy suit is necassary, but I do know that I blend in very well in that invironment.
