Ended in about a 2 min set in a spot on a ranch I was dinking around on building a winter blind out of wood for the upcoming year. I was at it for 2 hours banging wood, cutting, running the weed whacker, then as it got black I stopped, cleaned up watered down & relax in the cool breeze as I was burning up w/sweat then decided to go calling about 600 yards from this place as my pal was supposed to be there at 10pm for night calling.
I set up my shockwave at 50 steps just a tad up wind & put on antelope fawn distress at a medium volume (no bambi decoy when calling at night) and was thermal scanning sitting at a fence line and not expecting anything overall and when I look at the call I see a dang ol coyote circling it. Man where did he come from out of the night, the area I was at is above a 800 yard wide creek bottom and a lot of fingers that feed up into the pastures.
I drop the thermal and flick my D740 NV scope on and pick it up ready to drop a round and it wont stop circling, (I left the call going as it was) then he gets on the backside and stops in line w/the call. I say to myself move a tad to ether side will you as I aint a going to run a round through the call coyote or not...
, well it does and I drop it w/my MMR AR15, w/55g vmax.
That's it, all over before it started and the kind of coyote calling that keeps me at it on the ranches I call on.
It was a nice heavy male at about 30lbs in its scruffy summer coat, good set of teeth to match...yea and I can see fleas all over it.
