Howling in a female

[EO caller]

A buddy of mine called and said that his grandma had seen a coyote in her yard first thing in the morning. I told him I'd give it a toot and see what happens. I started in the prone position only because I was in the middle of a stubble field(I usually sit because I'm running the camera but was by myself this time). Did a little distress and layed there for about 20 minutes and nothing. I sat up and figured I'd do a little howling to locate. I let out a little female interragation and in 10 seconds I see a coyote pop up about 800 yards out in the stubble. She comes in to about 300 yards and sits down. Looking right at me. She starts barking and howling and I couldn't decide if it was a warning bark or a challenge howl. I slowly grab my Dakota Howler and give her a little challenge howl and bingo,,,dead run right for me. She gets up to about 150 yrds and stops and turns sideways,,, she figured out I wasn't a coyote I guess. Bang. Dead coyote. Really nice female. Go's to show, it doesn't hurt to howl this time of year.

Nice lookin dog..! EO I lay prone on about 90% of stands when im with marty.. And he sits on his but forr 100 % of our stands.. I guess we just do what works for us..

If im by myself I have to sit up to see everything.. But I LOVE prone!

[EO caller]

Since I do all my calling with open reed calls i sit on my butt. I guess I am to fat because I run out of air laying on my belly when I'm calling. If I would have stayed on my belly I think this coyote would have came right into my kitchen though.

it took me all last year to get use to laying prone, it really has helped me with long distance shots. Close up shots I have no problem sitting.

Nice looking coyote. Good to hear that the howling worked for you this time of year.

Fun, huh! Nice work bringing her in, I have had trouble bringing them across open spaces.

[Prairie Ghost]

Good work. It's always nice when they come across something that is that wide open so you can watch them. I use to love calling them across the ice on sloughs in ND especially at night under a full moon!

Is that the Nikon Coyote Special scope? Nice shootin'!

Yes it is 1 Shooter.
PG its cool to get to watch them come in like that especially because it teaches you to read them better. Like this coyote probly saw me but couldn't tell what I was but when I made the vocalization it figured that I must be a coyote. But when she turned sideways all the sudden after coming in about 200 more yards I knew the gig was up and I better get to flinging lead. I've seen a dog show up from nowere and do that and made a lip squeak and they bail. Probly had me figured out long before I even saw it.

How do you like that scope?

[EO caller]

How do you like that scope?

I'm not really sold on it just yet 1shooter. I'm having trouble with the standing shots. I can hit em running though. Just having a hard time centering the little circles on the standing shots.

Simple fine duplex is the way to go IMO. Its not complicated, hold dead on and call it good.... Hold over is just guessing, use your turrets and aim center-mass

[Tactical.20]

I like a big and little duplex, thick bars are easy to see on running shots, thin ones are great for still shots. I have bullet drop compensator knobs, but have not used them to know how to!
