Reddish coyote down :)

[fratri]

Setup at first light. It was a little crunchy walking into the setup so I waited a few minutes for things to settle down before beginning the set.
I placed my ecaller and decoy about 50 yds out into the field about a 45 degree angle from my sitting location. I turned on my decoy and ecaller playing a quiet dying rabbit sound.
As I got comfortable and settled in, I screamed out with my hand calls (loud dying rabbit screams) for about 45 seconds...... waited a minute or so and did it again (screaming out a dying rabbit sound with my hand calls as loud as I could)..... then waited another minute and did the same thing.... but this time during my wait, a coyote is in the field and heading toward my decoy and that ecaller playing that quiet dying rabbit sound....
As she got directly across from me, I yelled out WOLF to her, she stopped to look at me. With her only being about 60 yds out, I settled the cross hairs on her and sent it on it's way. Upon impact, she did a couple of spins before falling over...
She turned out to be in pretty nice shape with a nice reddish coat... Skinning revealed a lot of fat, so she must have been eating well.

Beauty! I'm itching to try out hunting them but don't have a good rifle/scope for it yet. Do you take the pelts to a trader?

I’m envious of the lack of blessed snow. I steped off the trail today and sank to my nuts.

Not this year... I have been doing a home tanning on them..... Most have come out pretty good/nice.

Awesome job!
Is the caller pointing towards those trees she came out from?

Yes the caller is pointing toward the bush where she came out of..... behind the caller (to my left is nothing but open fields for a good kilometer......

Good Job Frank. Hows the mange for you ? I've lost 6 now to it and one of the worst was down your way.

Showing some sign, 3 lost to mange....none were really bad but bad enough to know not to skin them....

Frank~boy...your passion for this is a reminder of how seldom I drag my fat a** out of the house in cold, sh***y weather! lol SOLID work as usual, and thanks for the photos/explanation. I have a new property to try, but based on all the turkeys/deer there...I have to wonder if it's even worth a coyote set. I mean..it is...
