KY Coyote

This is my first yote. Jan. 1, 2008. I was set up in a draw of the dam of a pond, with a fallen Oak as a backdrop. Hills on both sides. I had set up at dawn and was in place for about ten minutes. I caught movement to my right, coming down the hill, at about 50 yards. I had just enough time to pick up my rifle, cock, aim and shoot. Dropped her at ten yards in front of me. There was another with her that took off like a scolded dog. If I knew then what I learned at LBL, I might have been able to get the other one to come back.

To add insult, while I was retreiving the female I saw another to my front at about 270yds. I did try to coax that one with no success.

Congrats on the yote! How did ya know to set up the way ya did? Seeing 3 dogs sounds like you're in a hot spot.

Congrats on a nice yote. That one at 270 yds that you couldn't coax had already made you in all probability, and it is seldom they can be called back once they have seen you.

SEMP,

This farmer has been having problems. Scouting revealed alot of track and sign. I was fortunate to have the sun to my back and no wind that morning. I have been back several times, fresh sign and fresh kill, but have had no luck. I am going to leave it alone for a while. Have several other places to go.

Way to go on your first coyote. Nice one too!!!!

I waited a few minutes, but did not know that I might have a chance at another.

I know thw beard throws people off, I might grow it back.

My boy does want to get into the hunt, I dont think he is patient enough yet. I'll give him another year of wanting.
