I hunt coyotes on a farm near Orangeville, the farmer who owns the land told me the coyotes ate about 8 of his sheep and 2 german sheppard puppies, that really pissed me off, so I have been up there pretty much every weekend for the last 3 months. Excluding deer season, and a short bout with the flu.
On saturday I got there about 3pm, setup a chair by a tree very close to his storage shed, overlooking a big field. I setup my electronic caller in the field about 100m from me. Counted the steps back to my tree.
It started to get dark, when I was finished setting up my chair, rifle, flashlights etc. Then I turned on the caller, sat down and relaxed. The sun was almost down when out of nowwhere I heard something that sounded like a pack of wild horses running towards me. I quickly jumped out of my chair grabbed my Remington 700 in .223. Looked towards the directon of the sound, and I could not believe my eyes. 4 COYOTES RUNNING RIGHT AT ME IN A STRAIGHT LINE, it was like something out of a movie when you see calvary running at a standing army. Their heads were close to the ground ears tucked in, tails low, running fulll speed straight for me!!! I put the gun up to my shoulder and just fired, I missed but it was enough to bust up their pack. 2 went running to the left, side by side, the other 2 went running to the right side by side. I rechambered another round, but by then they were too far away for a safe shot, plus they were in full sprint running away from me, again tails tucked in between their legs, heads low to the ground.
My heart was pounding!!!!! I have never experienced anything like this, exciting as hell!!!!!! I never felt more alive, it was a once in a lifetime feeling. I was both scared and pumped if that makes sense. After that little experience, I went to the farmers shed, grabbed a ladder and climbed the tree I was sitting under. I spend 3 hours after the sun went down in that tree, waiting for more action. I saw more yotes but it was hard getting the flashlight on them and aiming at the same time. I only saw individual yotes after that rush. They did howl to find eachother though, if I had a shotgun I would have gone after them, but with the bolt action I didn't feel like tempting my luck.
Here is why I think they were comming after me, and not the electronic caller:
I was out deer hunting 2 weeks ago and had spilled some doe urine on my hunting boots, the boots were stored in my garage in a garbage bag. My guess is they thought I was a deer. No hard feeling on my part, but next time I'm sitting with a shotty, not letting an opportunity like this go to waste ever again.
So just a heads up to all other yote hunters, be careful they are smart, organized, and fast!!!! I'll be out again next weekend, on my birthday hoping to bag myself a nice birthday pelt!!!!
