[QUOTE="bigdaddyWSM, post: 1545492, member: 21382"] I love calling alone ( I think I'm more quiet & stealthy) I call a lot of prairie so not too many trees or anything else to sit by. I hide truck next to a hill, ditch or wherever it can't be seen by coyotes as they are vehicle spooky around here ( legal to shoot out of windows & every rancher does) mostly wind in my face or side wind, sun anywhere except right in my face. ( I love facing west in morning with sun in coyotes face) I walk in as far as I can & look for a knob or hill overlooking a prairie dog town, pasture with cows are always good as long as not yearlings that all run up to check you out en masse or where I am pretty sure will hold dogs & lay prone with bipods ( I'm very steady that way) a shady spot is excellent also. Scan the area real good before calling because I have walked up on bedded coyotes that didn't hear me walk in. I usually start out with a couple female or young coyote howls, nothing too intimidating. sometimes they howl back or not. I then wait a few minutes if nothing shows up I will go to pup distress, or PD distress if near a town. (Picture is of my old rifle, Savage model 10 in .223 which is now a Shilen barreled 6mm creedmoor. ) [ATTACH=full]117010[/ATTACH] I rarely use rabbit distress here unless it's very cold & they are hungry and they usually show up after howls. I scan with my eyes & try not to move rifle unless they look back or something. ( stopping & looking back alot usually means more than 1 coming in) The young of the year are stupid & will come in from any direction even downwind. If I get a pair & shoot one I grab my howler right away & start KIYI, KIYI & more often than not the second coyote will come back or at least stop for a shot. [/QUOTE]
