Cut my last stand short

[Roundman]

I was able to do some calling on Sat. I was making my last stand and about 15 min into it, I thought if anything was in this draw it would have come out by now. I shut it down and started to head back to the truck when one of the guys saw the coyote running off.  Another five minutes and he would have walked into us. He caught us off guard and we had no chance at taking him. It's hard to tell how many stands we have made that the coyote was there but we never saw him.

We have seen less sign and fewer packs this year than ever before. Our numbers may have declined or the packs may have moved for what ever reason.

I have hunted the last five days straight and had that happen twice this weekend. The coyotes I did shoot seemed to be slow coming to the call, about 25-30 minutes.  One of them was watching me pick up my caller when I finally seen it.
