Well set out on a deer hunt this eve to get a doe or buck in a food plot we have been seeing deer in. Saw some deer but only shots were at small bucks so we passed. Then all of a sudden we hear coyote howls..then again closer. Saw plenty of deer but they moved off as the yote gets closer....it is now about 100 yards up in the woods and howls loud....cool stuff. I tell my Father in law..I dont have my predator calls. My Bunny Bugle or my Howler are not in my bag...so I wait to see if it will come out.....he howls again this time a bit farther away..so I use the trade secret of the back of my hand to make the noise and after a few seconds he howls again..I do it a few more times and then here it comes..get it on the camera and give FIL the sign he smokes it with the .50 cal at 70 yards...It was a mangy female but pretty heavy...Great to get it out of the population...great hunt we were both pumped and of course the landowner was also....Will post a pic soon and maybe you will get to see it one day on the show...
This is the second day this week I have heard Yotes howling....I guess they are vocal and starting the breeding season....
Oh also the young bucks also went chasing a few does and watched them make a scrape..that was cool too.
Here is a pic of the mangy critter.
