Fanatic and I had a pack of wolves howling around us at 1st light a few years ago turkey hunting...never did see them.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Hell I dunno Gary, I shot a coyote one time came in with 3 mule deer.?? In Montana I was set up shooting prarie dogs. Was ranging some mounds at about 400 yards. Got the 22-250 Target Tikka set up and looked thru the scope. I had shot less than a minute earlier, there was a coyote walking thru the Pdog town about 250 yards out!! Who knows?
I   think animals can tell when the coyotes are hunting or just crusing. Anyway bottom line for me is simple, like me! :P, "see coyote, shoot coyote"
LOL

Was set up and calling to a flock of Toms through the woods.  Had them coming in for over a half hour.  One hen deke out in front of us.  Saw the coyote staring at the hen so I pointed my gun at him thinking about it.  Decided that I didn't want to lose a chance at the Toms.  The coyote charged the decoy and then ran off.  Seconds later 5 Toms and 2 Jakes came through the trees right towards us.  Opening day 07 I think.  Glad I didn't shoot the dog.

I usually shoot at least one over a decoy every year.  I think that is one of their main dishes in the Cheney area where I usually hunt turkeys.  I never let them walk.

Dreams are forever on the mind, realization in the hands.

I shot one this spring while calling in a tom for a buddy of mine. #4 lead out of a 10 ga at 30 yrds, never thought to take a pic. Female, kinda felt bad as I'm sure she had pups. Shot the dad the next day.  :chuckle:
