A neighbour texted me at 930am a few days ago saying he has 5 coyotes in his field with the cattle while hes looking for new calves. Of course I'm at work(never happens when im around) so I couldn't go. After work I arrived at 6pm and made my way half way back to a tree line that gives the best vantage point to the bush.
Playing calf bawls on my foxpro brought all the cows over which was a stupid move I realised after the fact as they almost went threw the fence but they calmed down and when I looked back towards the bush there is 3 coyotes standing there looking at the cows. They start to work closer at 50 yards I dropped the farthest one. Foxbang pup distress goes off and both coyotes stop, So I shoot another, then the 3rd takes off and I rolled him right before he hit the bush(100yards or so). I look up and there's a 4th one standing about 200 yards away down the tree line. Shoot and watched that one drop on the spot. (Cattle stampeding back to the barn now made this one stop)
Now its dark so I couldn't find the 3rd and 4th one I shot. Texted the farmer and his son found the 3rd one the next morning from following blood in the bush, I must have hit him but he just jumped sideways instead of going down like I first thought.
The next night I watched a coyote at 500 yards while it sat and watched the farmer feed bails in the feild. Didnt get a shot. Found the 4th one as crows showed me where on it, At least 50 yards farther than where I thought I shot.
Tonight I get there at 7pm and I just sat down and was watching the cattle for any new calfs and I see a coyote standing there in the middle of the field looking my way. 225 yards he dropped on the spot.
Farmer is happy it's just too bad hides are rubbed real bad. No post worthy pics of the other two found next day unfortunately

Mouth calls were recommended over electronic, because electronic calls are repetitious and coyotes soon become suspicious.
