[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2402105"] On the decoy question: I think it causes smart/educated coyotes to hang up. If they can see it clearly from 300y away, they can just lay there and watch it. Why move any closer if they have the ability to watch it from perceived safety? I shot one last year at 308 yards that was probably never coming any closer. She laid there for a while, maybe 20 minutes just looking at my decoy and her surroundings. In those cases, having the ability to shoot them where they hang up may be more critical than getting them closer. I suspect there are many more of them that never break cover, and never make themselves known to us that come in to our calls, sit a long ways out in observation, and maybe come confirm what they suspected hours after we leave. I've gone back in the snow and seen where coyotes came back after I left a stand and walked around my call location, backtracked my path and investigated the spot I was sitting. I think we all mostly just kill the dumb or desperate. The really smart ones laugh at our attempts, and we never know they were there. [/QUOTE]
