[QUOTE="heathbaker, post: 484689, member: 31355"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I am also a Missouri resident and avid coyote hunter. I too have noticed a coyote hunting "frenzy" erupt amongst my corner of the state. I have bumped into guys in areas that I frequently hunt, who claim they are "calling coyotes.”… Except their version of doing so consisted of tossing an electronic caller out the cab window of their truck and letting it play as they eat a snickers… Do I feel this “style” of hunting hurts the rest of us callers? The answer is yes, and no. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]It takes more than knowing that a distress sound can potentially call in coyotes to continuously be successful sit after sit.
