What is the greatest amount of dogs you've called in on one set?

[hirshey]

I set my new record yesterday while shed hunting with my mother... we heard some howling and decided to sit down and play with the yotes for a bit... after the first sequence we had FIVE dogs!

....two of which were domestic.  We were so busy watching the husky and lab-ish looking dogs we almost missed these on the opposing side of our canyon:


The domestic dogs scooted through the brush about 20 yards away from us without busting us. We waited another 5 minutes and I gave one more good scream on the cottontail and that's all those coyotes could stand: they came flying across the draw. Mind you, my mother and I had only planned on shed hunting because the owner of the property doesn't have qualms with coyotes so does not want them killed... So we let them get to about 60 yards and I popped up and took some photos.





Anyways, new record for me in one set.. beating my previous record of two.

Wow, you are pretty amazing!  Would you like a hunting partner for Tuesday through Friday?

Does three bears count?

Most dogs I have called into view has been three. Similar situation, I wasnt allowed to shoot em, only call.

The most i have ever called in was five.  All five were not together though.  I called in three (shot one) then went to coyote distress like always and called in two other from a totally different direction and killed one of those. Very cool sequence, wish i would of had my camera man there but went out by myself.

had two different pairs come in on my first set today.  first pair circled downwind a long ways off but the second pair didn't fair so well.  The female wanted nothing to do with dog distress and left in a hurry.  best setup was 5 dogs but 4 of those were younger pups.

I saw eight dogs total today and they all had nice coats on em still.  I even kept the male in the pic.

Three bears is pretty cool... the only things other than coyotes I've called in (to my knowledge) is a single bobcat and numerous deer. I would love to call in a bear or two.

Very cool... sounds like a fruitful area for coyotes!

I really need to start recording some hunts... that would be fun.

Sounds like a glorious day in the field! Good job. My mother and I saw one dog today... but it was running up a draw filled with deer... so he's safe for another day.

At least you got out and enjoyed a day outside... that's more than most can say.

Called in three at the same time quite afew times, twice this year.  A few years ago I had three come into a set, killed one and out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a fourth but couldn't be sure.

Very cool. Did they all come from the same direction?

I'm not used to seeing them in numbers greater than two so I'm trying to get an idea as to how common it really is.
