Last Thursday eve I headed up to some state WAI that I call on that boarders a big private ranch I dont have access on yet. I called 3 coyotes 2 weeks back but they just stayed on the ranch side barking at me from around the barn. This has a vacant homestead/barn/corrals on it and nice open alfalfa fields and super bottom land with a year round creek thats full of coyote food/elk/antelope/deer & tons of mice.
I was walking into the bottom land and was not even into it when this guy trotts out, looks around and walks back into the trees. I toss out a fast bark & whining and walk fast to a spot in the tall grass I can see the entire area from. I yip 3x and it comes back out, looks around and zigzags then heads to the other side of the area that has low grass and an open shot....Woof, it stops...Bam drops on the spot of the hill 20 feet from the fenceline to the ranch side. 160 yards or so. Savage 6x45, 65g vmax. Through the left shoulder out the neck at the angle he was.
