Title: Rainy day Coyotes
Post by: kglacken on March 16, 2013, 10:48:53 AM: Has anyone ever had success in the rain? Im debating on heading out for a few hours, but its raining and Im not sure how coyote hunting in the rain is. Obviously i'll never know if I dont try, but I am just curious what your opinions are

What kind of call are you using? I've been using a cotton tail squealer but I've had no luck these past couple trips!

I never called in the rain for coyotes,but I was hunting in Sultan in the misty rain for deer. I missed my deer but ran across a cougar on the road I was walking down. He jumped up the bank 50 yards way. I didn't think he would be there anymore. So I didn't knock up the arrow. I peaked over the bank and there he was. Ass up at me 15 ft away :yike: I didn't even think he know I was there. I knocked up a arrow,but I was shacking so bad I couldn't get my trigger on the string. I draw with fingers and aimed. I let back down. Took a deep breath. Then I got the trigger on the string. I started to draw. Sh-t The cat moved to the left. So I stepped to the right and slipped on the wet log. BYEBYE CAT he was gone. :bash: So I think they predators do move in the rain. Sorry for the long story.
