Hello All,
After getting into shooting three years ago, I've taken an interest in coyote hunting this year. Never been much of a hunter until I started watching some of Skinney's movies here and some predator shows. I can officially say I'm hooked now.
With locals saying coyotes can't be called in here in southwest Michigan, I picked up a foxpro anyway early this year. After several failed attempts this fall, it finally happened today.
Switching from the usual rabbit in distress call, I tried the pup in distress after hearing someone else's success. Hunting 350 yards from a known den in the middle of a farm, all hell broke loose after 1 minute of switching. A couple howls/barks and a doe running out the den area let me know something was coming.
A coyote came trotting my way, behind a hill to my left. I had a clean shot at about 125 yards, but it happened so fast and I was shaking so bad that I pulled the shot. Man what a rush. Sure would have been nice to finally get one but now I'm sucked in. I'm determined to get on before Christmas now.
Thanks for reading,
Jason
