How many of you were there? Just two? Or were there more people with you...
They will get in line with the sound source and come into the wind at 250 yards away...If the person calling was in that spot you were busted.
Coyotes approach most times way down wind..Spots that you don't even see.
This is the time of the year the food distress sounds will work at times.. Just plain ole bulb squeaking...
Just like the underdog in football.. Has to play the perfect game to win game.. Coyote hunters...We are the underdog when it comes to the smarts of Eastern Coyotes... You have to do the perfect thing or the hunt is over....
There are so many things that you have to do...No talking, putting something between you and the down wind side so when they make their arc into the wind it on the other side of the object..Object being a building, farm machinery, barn, creek...roads, large rock piles etc..They can't go through these when they make their arc..You force them to make their arc from the other side of these objects and come into the wind. if you mouth calling..You might want to move to to the right or left after making your sounds... They hone in right on the sound source...
Also the more hunters you have...You might think of the right things to do..However if the other hunter does not think like you it's over.
You can't have 3 chiefs...One person got to call the shots and the other people have to listen...
Good thing is your getting their interest...Try to set up where your shooters can ambush them...Don't post anyone where the sound is coming from..Shooters need to be crosswind of the sound source..
You all might want to return to this farm and just sit with no calling... You know they are there. Maybe one will walk out into the field. You can ID it as a coyote and shoot it..
