It was a wet morning with a slight rain and a wind blowing right for the setup. Back at one of the new properties I parked as it was just light but can not see any distance. I grab the stuff and head to the feild edge and work my way down the edge to place in the field behind a large cattle barn. I get to the woods and along a swamp grass edge and as I reach a setup tree I notice 3 yotes in the field all working towards me along the edge. I try to find a lean or a place to sit and because of small branchs on the tree trunk I decide to pull out the legs on the bipod and kneel.

The first yote makes it out about 175 yds and broad side and I take steady aim and bang down he goes. The other two runs and I grab a hand caller and do a quick KiHi and the one yote stops out about 250 and I take aim and down he goes. The other yote was running so fast his back end was passing his front end so I didnt get a shot as it would not have been good.

Not a great calling morning but a elimination of predators that seem to be over run in this area.

Thanks everyone, I honestly believe that the dog hunters have pushed the most of these yotes over across a highway and into a large swamp that they can not hunt them with the dogs there. This just happens to be a great place to walk and call....
 
How are you taking these pictures by yourself, are you using a tripod and a timer on your camera?

I hunt coyote by myself, which in my opinion is alot harder than with several people because you have to do everything, calling, and watching, and shooting! Anyways it seems like you have great luck at dawn. I've been going out lately mid to late day and I have been having no luck at all. I should try morning hunts. Any tips for solo hunting?
 
I carry a pocket camera 10mag and a twisty leg tripod so I can setup the camera on any little tree. fence, or stand it and use the self timer of the camera. First light is the best and is the highest success time. After 9:30-10:00 am I am headed home. I have only taken 1 yote after 10:30 in 2 years. The same goes for the afternoon success seems low aswell to me...
