I parked behind a large bladed ridge of snow and walked a 1/2 mile down a snowed in section line trail so I could get away from the main road. The one good thing about all the snow is that some of the bladed up drifts are big enough to hide the truck behind when hunting some of the flat lands. I sat down and called for a while. I was about 18 min. into my call (I dont usually sit much longer than that), and I didn't think any thing was going to come in. But, it was a nice area and I figured there were coyotes out there that could hear my calls. So, I switched up my calling a little bit and sat for a few more minutes. All of sudden, two coyotes popped over a rise in the field 250 yds out. They came from the direction I parked the truck... good thing for the bladed up snow drifts. I mouse squeeked them to about a 150 yds. The trailing coyote (male) gave me a broadside shot and I dropped him. The female didn't waste any time getting out of there. She grabbed a low spot and was gone. I never did get a shot at her. Oh well, one stand - two coyotes called - one down. Not bad for a quick evening hunt.
My next spot, I decided to call an area I had tried (unsuccessfully) in the past. It is along a more commonly traveled county road. I know there are coyotes in the area, but it is unposted and i think they get a little more calling pressure. I parked behind another ridge along the road and walked in. I set up and started calling. I did a female howl to start off the sequence, and had one talking back from a ways away. I then did my normal calling sequence but nothing was moving. I could see most of the area for a 1/2 mile. So, this was going to be more of a long range call. I decided I would try what brought the pair in on the last stand. I called for a minute or so, and here comes two on a dead run through a cut sunflower field. They came from over a 3/4 of a mile away. I stopped calling when I saw them at about 600 yds. They kept coming and then hung up at 350 yds. I mouse squeeked them in to about a 150 yds. They started to parallel me to get down wind. I took the back one when she stopped. She went into her death spin... and I swung on the other one. He was heading straight away but not going to hard. I ki-yi'd him, and he stopped for a split second. He didn't stand long enough for a shot. He then turned and headed broadside from me at 350 yds. I couldnt get him to stop, so I let a few fly. Well, after the first shot he took like his ass was on fire. Needless to say, I didn't connect on the second coyote to make it a double. Oh well, two calls, four coyotes, and two dead.
The second picture is bad. The camera phone just doesn't do well in low light.
All in all, I saw 7 coyotes (4 called and 3 from the road between stands). Not a bad night for just sneaking out after work. The first coyote was a real nice 27.5 lb male. The second coyote was a female. She was starting to rub. The fur on the shoulders was getting a little thin.
. gotta love it when we can carry our hunting stuff to work with us 
.i wonder what would have happened if you had'nt shot at the male?? he may have come sneaking back soon looking for her. i seen that happen at the Classics. shot the female and the male lit out. on the way back to the truck, i seen him sneaking back in 15 minites later
I had to lay around today and recover... oh well - it is a windy sucker today.
