The first clip is from last week. This field had several deer in it then it didn't. I get in the gun and here they come but the wrong kind of k-9s. There are 4 houses within a half mile down in the hollow from this knob.
This next vid is the 3rd set on this ridge. Wind is from my right at a slight quarter to and I am set up at a fence corner. Played some breeding stuff for 15 or so then went into howls, paused about 30sec and ran a different howl from the same coyote and was in 2-3 min of silence when they show up. It is really bright, so I decide to stay quiet unless they don't come my way.
I bark, he dies at 21min and 155yds per onx. I can't get #2 to stop. Wait a couple then play a couple kiyis and it comes back about 8 min after I shot but will not come any closer than 300+ according to my reticle. I mute and it doesn't move for over 3 min. I have the safe off and am on it several times but don't feel comfortable at that range. Finally, it quickly leaves.
I made 1 more set that night with this being the only action and was hoping to get out some more this week but the weather has said NO.

 
Dogs have ruined a couple sets for me also, at one place the rancher had a blue heeler that looked just like a small coyote in the thermal that made me pretty nervous.

Good shooting, and the weather here has sucked you know what for a while and it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Not a criticism, but when you locked in on that second yote at 300+, you looked solid enough to me. I think you could have made that shot.

Man, having dogs come into calls would be frustrating! Good shooting though. I think you would have anchored that second coyote too.

Maybe but last week I took the leg off one at about 250 and don't like wounding critters. Thanks for the vote of confidence though.
