Title: Called in my first yote!
Post by: Elliott on August 21, 2013, 08:25:36 PM: Went out thi s morning out in the Okanogan forest, had the dog with me and just went on a hike looking for some deer. Found a nice area I thought I would sit down and glass for a while, wel I got bored. I started making some distress calls with just my hand lips for a few minutes, I tried a bunch of different stuff, I don't know exactly what I am doing but I had the gist of it. So any way after about 10 minutes of calling I see a gray face looking at me from about 100 yards away, I keep calling and he kept coming. He was trying to be sneaky but I had my eye on him. When he was about 50 yards away he started howling at me. I thought oh this is awesome, I wish I had my rifle :doh: but I do have my cell phone, I will get some video (audio) of it. So I did, but you can't see it til I get back home next week.

Its just a shame I didn't have my rifle on me cause he woulda been ine dead dog!

Just a heads up, in WA it is illegal to have a dog present when hunting coyotes. When you have a firearm along leave the dog in the truck. Hacks me off, I hunt coyotes all over the west and everywhere but here my dog lies along side me on a stand.

A lot more open then the timber on the west side around here. Your set. before ya know it youll have 20 calls, a fuzzy motion decoy, coyote decoy, and everything else haha, just like me. I may get more crazy about deer or elk nowadays but calling coyotes to the gun will always be my first hunting love.
