bring them in close

[rasbo]

I see all these long range shots on the dogs.Im one who loves to bring them in on top of me..I set up that way.Anyone else that way

I like them close as well but usually my shots average out to about 150. Last year I believe my closest was 60ish.

the terrain has alot to do with it,as you know.In SE Idaho the area had alot of moguls and dips and such.I would set up down in those.Guys I would take out couldn't believe how close and hard they would come..Soon as I spot one I put the cross hairs on its face and follow it till the dog realizes there is something there,They stop for a brief moment,then I dot their eye..When the magpies come in and flair that's usually the same distance the odor hound will see ya..Damn I miss the high desert

Have shot a few over 200 yds, but most of my shots under 50 yds with a rifle. I usually hunt in thick stuff or on edges. With a bow, a partner calling  and homemade Gilli suit, about 20 yds. Use a very soft sounding mouse squeaker to bring in under 50 yds.

I like getting close to game

I pretty much hunt wheat fields for yotes. They sometimes come charging but like I said they often have up at about 1-200 to check things out.

this isn't a rant on long range shooters,just so some of ya know.I like long range shooting also just love the closeness..So far my closest is at my feet with a dog and a bob.When I was at royal city had one go over the top of my son and I couldn't get the shot off,it was way cool for my son to experience that

Thats good. My feelings were hurt.    Thought you were throwing me under the bus. Figured I wasn't good enough to be on team wet spot. 

Just kidding. I like it when they're close enough to see the beady little eyes searching and blinking.

I don't like them close, too much chance of me screwing up, and contrary to my user name I don't use a shotgun. I'm out there to shoot coyotes. Shot one at about 10 feet a couple of weeks ago from the hip. My sweet spot is anywhere between 100 and 250 yrds. These pups this year are hard to stop, you could let them come in right on top of you if that's what you wanted. Of course that'll change pretty quick.

i dont useaully read the long shot post. mainly deer and elk. big turnoff. how many animal's were wounded. i understand in eastern washington the later it get's in the year the tougher they come in. i enjoy close up using my hand call's.my wife bought me a $1600.00 berreta extrema 2 shotgun for my birthday. it's what all the big caller's use in the desert state's. i have lot's of dead coyote and number 4 buckshot. cant wait to break it in. sunday if i would of had the shotgun on second stand would of had a nice adult coyote was to close.

I want to learn to do this......mostly because where I typically hunt if you are lucky you can see 50yds, usually I get myself in where I cant see my own damn feet.

Closer the better in my book, I like under 100 yards and if I can get them into 50 or less, makes my day!

I like the #4 buck shot give a good patter through the turkey choke i got.. I bought a Singshot/buck shot mold from the Do-it Corp and loaded up some #1-#0 with it. Havent put those through the turkey choke yet but my bro-inlaw says they put the SMACK down on those yotes!
