Title: man the west sides tuff
Post by: littlebuf on January 10, 2010, 02:17:00 PM: called a yote in this morning within the first two minutes of my first set. had kind of a awkward shot so i waited for a better one. he came running right towards the call at about 200 yards dipped down in a little depression and i never saw him again :bash: i know he didn't wind me but this is the first time Ive coyote hunted with anybody else and i think he might have seen my partner. didn't get on another dog all day but i sure gave it hell.

Try to identify the areas you might get a shot, prior to starting your calling. This help eliminate bringing your gun up and realizing you don't have a shot, and you identify where you should stop a coyote for a clear shot.
