RE: coyotes
NY Bowhunter- Holy moly that's a lot of yotes. Sounds like you could just beat them off with a stick! I personally, have not been able to ever get out (although I would love to but never have time) but I have heard of guys having great luck with the electronic calls at the end of the day right before or just after dark. I have also heard that using a stuffed animal in conjunction with the call works really well.
I hope your selling those pelts. You could make a few bucks by the sound of it. Enough to pay for your hunting license and a new call at the very least. I hear yote hunting is a blast. Have fun. TGK
