Got to the farm and waited a bit for the fog to lift. It was very calm out there. I played a dying rabbit on and off for about 8 minutes before I see this coyote in the cut corn. It was very hard spotting him if he wasn't moving, they blend in so well.....

I got him to stop about 120 yds out and just as I pulled the trigger he started moving and I missed. It took off running not allowing me a follow up shot....

I decided to stick around for a bit and continued calling on and off for another 15 minutes before I spot this 2nd coyote taking almost the identical path as the first one. I stopped him at about 110 yds out and this time I didn't miss.

Well Boys, we have another one added to the club.

A question for the OP. Do the Newfoundland coyotes have soft hair like the Ontario and Quebec dogs?

Can't really say, never have felt a coyote from anywhere but here, but I can tell ya no trouble seeing them weigh in at over 40lbs , specially the called in ones in winter for some reason, fall coyotes snared seems to be smaller , guess the young ones not as smart as the older ones , seems to be some wolf blood in ours or something to make them bigger than the ones farther west
 
Good shooting . are you still using a 223 ? and I think you said you yell Wolf ? to get them to stop ? I hope you get a ton more and all the best in the New Year .
