tgaab Report post Posted February 9, 2014 Wanted to say thank you to all who have given me advice over last year or so. Took me long enough but I finally got my first dog down on Friday morning. It was pretty exciting. Set up on a field with a tree line about 400 yards away. Turned on a howl on the foxpro and immediately I heard yipping and a howl back. One came out of the trees and sat down down. He kept looking back into the trees and after 30 seconds or so it ran back in. I was disappointed for a second until I saw another one about 30 yards to the right. As I'm watching that one, two more come out followed by another 5!! I had 8 coyotes sitting about 400 yards out. They weren't coming in, just sitting there and pacing. Switched to a different howl and they all came trotting in and stopped again about 200 yards away. They started to fan out and two started to circle behind me. Started getting worried that they would bust me so I swtiched to a challenge bark. That did the trick and 3 of them came running in and stopped about 100 yards. I was shaking so much I could hardly keep the crosshairs on her. I shot and didn't see her drop, I could only see the rest of them running away. I took a few shots as they were running but no luck. Went out to check for blood and found the one I shot at first dead in her tracks! Went to my other stand and did the same thing. Had one sneak in on my left at about 75 yards but by the time I got the gun over there it was in the brush and never came back out! I was hooked before, but needless to say I am more hooked than ever now! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I called her in with a female howl... If I head back out there, does anyone have any recommendation on a different call to use? I've called this spot a few times before with cottontail distress and pup distress with no luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
