Is that Bill Hader next to you?
Beats the Spitfire that I have by a long shot. The variety of sounds, sound quality, and volume are a huge improvement over my FoxPro .
Had two more show at another spot, one came to us in a depression and we didn't see him until he popped up 50 yards to our right. Got on him while he was watching the decoy, but my bolt handle must not have been all the way down. All I heard was a click and he was off. Should have used the AR again.
Took a couple buddies out yesterday morning, and I did the calling and let them do the shooting. Made four stands and ended with four coyotes.

Had 2 more in the backyard. This time, it was at night time and was no more than 20 yards away from my house. I guess I'm going to have to watch my lab when I let him out at night.
Lol...I was checking to see if anybody had posted this Wiley coyote..bulletproof....
Shot this one Saturday after he circled 180⁰ way out around me to get downwind. When he finally got where he felt safe enough to bark at me, I had gotten moved and had my gun on a fence post. Guessed 300 and hit him right behind the front leg. Ended up being 330 yards, 50gr Vmax. Had to drag him over 1/4 mile of muddy wheat field. Weighed 45lbs.

683 yard double across a creek valley. It took 12 miles of driving and a mile walk in to go get them. Dumped the first one sleeping on the side hill. After the shot, another one walked out to see what happened right beside the first so he got it too.

Anyone out in the western north dakota area feel like helping me cover 10000 acres of private land up north of killdeer? Its prime and not pressured.
Season never ends regardless of who's buying or not.
They keep the rodents in check around here......
I prefer to call em in,when the buyers are giving away 80-50 bucks apiece.

7:54 am, somewhere out in the remote desert of southern AZ, the lone howl of a female coyote pierces the cool morning air. A few minutes later, the silence is broken by a screaming baby jackrabbit in its last moments. Shortly after the cries subside, coyote pups fill the air with their pitiful distress.
Suddenly, through the brush, a lone coyote slips into view, 35 yards away, frantically searching for the whimpering pups. The crosshairs align in the center of the trotting coyote’s neck, a single shot rings out, the 55 grain V-Max finds its perfect placement, and immediately the air is once again silent at 8:01 am.

Last Easter Sunday. These two were out mousing in a field in mid afternoon. Ended up getting them both at 465 yards with my .260 Rem 
Got this one on the second stand this morning. I was using a verminator tweety. Calling has gotten much more difficult around here since anybody can go out and buy a cheap electronic caller.
This may sound like a dumb question as I’m new at this, but have you guys had more look with the wind at your back calling towards cover across a large field/pasture vs wind in your face?
I think the crosswind is ideal, but have had multiple bust me with wind in my face after they circle. Tough to see them coming from behind a lot of the time with all the changing terrain in PA/WV. Any thoughts or advice?

Anyone use the foxpro inferno? Is it worth it at $200? Should I look at something else?
I prefer to call a crosswind, that way I can always see my downwind side. The only time I call with the wind in my face, is if there is a road or something behind me that they won't cross. If you can't see your downwind side, then there is a good chance you aren't seeing most of the coyotes you are calling in.
Seems to be what’s happened in my very limited experience. Thanks for the advice
Was about to give up a few weeks ago, but decided to try a new spot. Got a double, but I hit another that got within 20 yards twice behind the hedgerow I was standing in. Trailed him for 150 yards and lost the blood. 12:30 PM and the only stand I left the shotgun in the truck on.

7RM 120gr NBT at 3400+ about 220 yards.

Exit. Spilled his guts.

Second stand with the tweety again. Called a double but couldn't get them stopped at the same time.
Nice work M_R_Woodard! Just proves if you do something different than everyone else late season, you will continue to kill coyotes.
Any other PA/WV/East coast coyote hunters in this thread with advice for a newbie?
Congrats to @M_R_Woodard and @EastCOYotes on your kills today!

Pretty wild story with this one... So I was deer hunting and had seen this deer every day I’d been out. The last day of Virginia firearms season, enough was enough. The deer was out at 440 yards and I decided to harvest him. The shot from my 260 hit the mark and for whatever reason the coyote ran out of a large wooded area between me and the deer. It was on a dead run straight at me. The best I can figure, the impact of the bullet spooked the coyote. Why else would he run away from the deer and toward me? Anyway, I had to try and time the shot with the up and down movement of the running dog. I broke the shot and it went through his left eye, pushing his right eye out of the socket. He dropped at exactly 200 yards. It was all said and done in about 5-10 seconds.
Got a call from a landowner that a neighbor had a calf pulled out of a calving pen and eaten. Checked in with the new landowner and he told me he has been seeing a pair almost daily, even in his yard with his german shepherd. Only had time for one set, but it only took less than 5 minutes for this female to show. Shot her facing me at about 200 yards. Had just sighted in some 65gr Game Kings at 3200 fps. Should have used the 53gr Vmax.
Made a new friend and have several hundred more acres to hunt now.

That's a beautiful area. Makes you feel small. Good looking pooch and rifle!
Couple years old, but thought I’d share. Took a little one hunting, shot his first buck. Coyote was shot a couple minutes later with an encore pro hunter muzzleloader. After cleaning up the deer we threw the antlers in the back with the coyote before running it to a family member to get tanned. Couldn’t resist snapping this picture!

That's a big boy. great find
ill revive this thread with pics of my 2020 coyote mount...
You can start by not doing what I’m doing because it clearly isn’t working. I’m in south central PA and we have a pack of 9 or so periodically running through our property. I’ve been out hunting them numerous times during the day and night but have never managed to call one in. I even had the bitch chewing on my camera which must be delicious and I still couldn’t bring one in.
Hell I even managed to shoot a bear before I shot a coyote despite me targeting coyotes and there being way more of them than there are bears in our area.
