Coyote with a bow?
 

I was talking with a guy that guides for coyote and he said that it would be unlikely to get a shot wiht a bow if you were to call one in. He said that they are to spooky and would catch the motion of the draw.

Does anyone know about this?

I've shot 3 fox with a bow, and coyote with a rifle. They seem equally spooky to me, so I don't see a problem with it. You have to draw when they go behind something, just like with a deer.
I would agree with the term "unlikely" though, but isn't shooting any animal on a given day "unlikely"?

With another person doing the calling it would help, but you still would have draw when behind some cover. Only shot one and it was only 15 yards away so it can be done.

I've never drawn on one from the ground so I can't answer that, but my friends and I have shot a few while in our treestands in the fall. Last fall I shot one at 10 yards while my partner filmed the whole thing <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>. They are very cautious and not the least bit curious, but as far as getting to full draw...in my opinion, they're no more difficult than a mature whitetail or turkey.

I got a coyote the first time I went bow hunting about 3 years ago; I really didn't have any troubles, I saw him comming to my stand from 60 yards until he stoped at 20yards; it was a clean shoot.
It was the first animal I ever killed with a bow. But people still telling me I was really lucky, now I believe so because I've have the chance to get another one.

Unlikely? YES Its tough enough to get them with a gun while doing the calling yourself.
Possible? YES I took one this pas season from the ground that was less than 5 yards when I released and only about 10 when I drew. He never knew what hit him.

SE AK- HOW ABOUT SHOTS AT WOLVES? HOW LIKELY IS THAT?

RE: Coyote with a bow?
 

It is a lot harder to take a yote with a bow than a rifle. If you have never killed a yote before than use a rifle the first few times than if your up to it use a bow. If your calling in them that is.

I have shot at them from the ground with my bow, so it is poosible. I know a guy who took a timber wolf before he ever got a shot at a coyote, they are fairly cautious and have awsome eyesight, maybe a decoye could help keep their eyes distracted while you draw, just something to keep in mind.
