I left my house this morning to go check out some property that I have not hunted in at least 5 years. After scouting around for about 4 hours I decided to make some stands on my way home.

On the first stand I parked my truck behind a little old broken down barn. Then I walked about 200 yards down the hill and sat down up against a juniper with my shotgun. I had my Foxpro Fury going for at least 15 minutes when I decided that stand was over. Before I stood up I looked back behind me and there was a coyote about 150 yards away looking at my truck. I should of had my rifle and my shotgun with me on that stand.

The next stand I had my shotgun with me and I was sitting up against a scrub oak tree with my Foxpro Fury about 15 yards in front of me. I played some rabbit distress sounds and some bird distress sounds for 16 minutes and then switched to Pup Distress 3 on full volume.

About 2 minutes later a coyote runs right up beside me from back behind me and to my left. It stopped about 5 yards away from me and it was starring at the Fury and Fox Jack decoy. When I leaned out around the tree to start taking pictures the coyote saw the movement and it took off.

After taking 6 pictures of this coyote hauling a$$ away from me, I grabbed my shotgun. At 30 yards the Federal Heavyweight #2 shot went completely through the coyote.

On the next stand I used my rifle and panicked when a coyote was running slowly up to my caller. I was not patient at all and missed the coyote at about 40 yards away while it was still trotting up towards my caller. I should of had my shotgun on that stand.

I saw this little guy on the way back to my truck.

The scattergun seems to have an advantage sometimes. Great pics Bob!

Great pictures. You can see flames coming from his feet. if you look close. :good: Cool stuff. That is fast shooting getting him after those pictures.
You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

Yep, Awesome pics as usual, Bob... and a very nice looking coyote indeed!! :good:

Them tarantulas are sure butt ugly... Nice pic of him too though. lol

Yeah, Shoot-it, I've wondered the same thing. I think Bob has won some kind of award or contest recognition on another website; Predator Masters or?? But I could be mistaken!?

Anyway, :signgreatreport3kg:
