Started out right

Post by **Daryl** » Tue Sep 18, 2007 7:16 am

Went out last night about 6:00 mt and on the first stand didn't even get through the second howl and had 4 coming in on a run. Looked like an adult and three pups. The adult stopped at the 400 yd mark then two more stopped at the 330 yd mark and the fourth one came to 227 yds and wouldn't come any closer. I tried lip sqeeks rabbbit and pup whines but did seem interested in coming any closer so i dumped the bitch right there. I had good shots at both of the ones sitting at the 330 mark but I had coyote fever bad and had a bad case of the shakes so I over shot on them both and didn't help I was sitting when i normally lay down. All in all 1 out of 4 isn't good but isn't bad either. I made one more stand yet after that and saw nothing so I guess for the first stand of the season I was happy. I will have a picture on soon and the fur is really starting to come around.

Congrats daryl on the first coyote of the year. Im sure i will have coyote fever on the first one too. You mentioned that you were howling when they came in and i was wondering if that is real effective in the early season like this? I was always informed to stick to straight rabbit sounds and puppy whines early in the year.

Nice job Daryl good to know that the fur is coming around.

Well he howled and had 4 come in so there must be some merit to it. I can't imagine doing pure rabbit sounds would have produced 7 coyotes.

Well i just sat down and started with an invitation howl and before I was finished with the second one I saw then coming on a dead run and when I tried the rabbit and lip squeeks to get them closer there seemed to be no intrest. I think there is still plenty to eat and that isn't there main concern right now. I kicked two jacks out of that pasture while walking in. They may have thought hey who is in our area you bastards.

Went out towards sundown scouting for some deer and heard a pack of at least four dogs start howling right at sundown. Think I just found another calling spot

thats what keeps me going. We were out goose hunting about 2 weeks ago and for some gumb reason there was one that sounded about 300 - 400 yards away letting the warining barks fly as we were setting up and the guys kept tellin me i need to stop worrying about that coyote and start settin up
