Both these coyotes are from the Parkersburg WV area. 
      On the first one I set up against an old abandoned house facing a large meadow that was nearly 400 yards across.  My buddy set up behind the house with a shotgun facing into the woods.  Wind was from my right shoulder.  I ran a 20 minute sequence on a homemade e-caller.  The only response to the e-caller was a turkey buzzard that kept coming in to look at the decoy.  The white flag in the second photo is a highway marker flag on a wire that I use as a decoy.  It flutters in the slightest breeze.  After the e-call sequence I started mouth calling on an old Sears Predator call I inherited from my step dad.  It is a very high pitched wooden closed reed call.  At about the 40 minute point in the stand I saw the coyote come out of the creek bed way across the field coming toward me slightly to my left, downwind.  When he got behind some greenbriers I shifted my gun on the shooting sticks a little more to my left.  the dog came out of the greebriers right in front of me about 35 yards away.  The 60 grain V-Max from tha AR really did a number on him.   He spun around twice then went down.  Time was 9:30 AM on April 19.  Very exciting!!
       The second coyote was jumped out of a meadow as we were moving to a new stand.  It appeared to have a black back as it ran off across the meadow and through a fence line into a thicket.  I set my buddy up facing out into a larger part of the meadow thinking that the dog we had jumped would not show back up.  We had heard some dogs howling way off on a previous stand in the direction I set him up.  I set up looking down the fence line where the black dog had disappeared.  I put the decoy on the crest of the meadow to my right were we could both see it out about 100 yards.  Ireally didn't expect to see anything down the way I was facing.  I did have the wind in my face and the sun behind my left shoulder.  After only a few calls on the Sears predator call the coyote we had seen earlier came back through the fence and about 30 yards out into the meadow perpendicular to me looking up at the decoy on the crest of the meadow.  She was about 100 yards away.  At the first shot she turned a ran back towards the fence.  Subsequent shots put her down at 95 yards.  She was not nearly as big as the male in the first picture.  July 21 at about 9:30 AM.
       Thanks for all the nice comments.  I have not had any luck sense then.  I'm still learning, but I'm really bitten by the bug big time now.  I'm looking for deer season to be over here so I can get out some more, hopefully with someone with more experience who can help me  get into some more coyotes.  I have done 72 stands.  Called in four coyotes.  Was so excited when I saw the first ones that I couldn't get a shot.  Killed the last two.  Now I'm really hooked.  Thanks for all your support and any suggestions you guys might have for a newbie in WV.
