Bobcat and I had a decent day of coyote hunting on Saturday.
I think we did a total of 8 stands, mostly with the FP Scorpion and due to bad batteries we also used a closed reed hand call.
We killed one and missed one. The one we killed was nasty and we did it a favor. The one that was missed then ran closer and stared at us, but it was on property we didn’t have permission to hunt. It was a very large male and looked to have a nice hide.
We called one in to about 60 yards and never saw it but we did see its tracks after the stand was over. We also saw one on property we could hunt but there was someone walking a dog in the area and by the time we could set up the yote was a long ways off and howled at the calls.
Hopefully we can get to a few spots this morning.

Most coyotes are either rubbed or matted by now. November and December are the months to get a good hide. By January they are going down hill.
Seems to me that the very first part of January is when they hit their peak over here.
After that their butts start getting trashy and rubbed.
I'll still hunt them

Just remember next time we need to always have rubber gloves in the pack just in case.
I brought some today.

Yes, and I appreciate that. I'm just glad you shot it and not me. Actually you gotta give me credit for losing my rangefinder.

I am not so sure that you didn't lose it on purpose. I think you set me up.

It would have easily won the ugliest coyote contest, if there had been one.
Now I know where the term "coyote ugly" comes from.

That coyote was obviously already dead for a while... :dunno:
