jake, you musta scared that Gobbler.
18-20 years ago, I had a Red phase Coyote come to my hen yelps during Spring Gobbler.
I heard a Gobbler nearby, sounding off. After the third time he gobbled, I thought I would let him know I was over here, yelp-yelp-yelp.
Within a minute, I saw movement. Dang, a Coyote. Coming steady and fixed on my decoys. On a string.
BANG!
Coyote down. Dang Coyotes. This was the only time I called a Coyote when Gobbler hunting.
Next morning same spot, I shot a Gobbler, what I think was the same Gobbler as yesterday.
The trapping season before, I trapped a Red phase Coyote on same property.
These were the only Red phase Coyotes that I ever heard of in my area. Both females and I assume litter mates.
When we cross paths, ask me about the Red Coyote I trapped...first time I saw that Coyote, it was tanned and hanging on a friends wall...
