[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 1273166, member: 22030"] Match your gun to your situation. I seldom use a shotgun personally, but like to use an AR with a low powered scope when shots will likely be close. I usually hunt alone and carry only one gun, the AR handles close to mid-range shots with quick follow ups. In more open grassland spots where bobcats won't show and shots tend to be longer I like a flatter shooting bolt gun in 22-250, 243, or 6mm. If it's real windy or yotes are real spooky I sometimes take the 25-06 or 264WM. Don't always try to get high and make coyotes come uphill to you just to get the elevation to see. When you are up high setting up you are more visible to coyotes also. I often try to lure coyotes up a side draw instead of setting up where I'm visible to the main draw. I also call right in the bottoms a lot now. If the distress sound doesn't work try pup distress before leaving. I've had yotes come screaming in to it after 12 minutes of rabbit or bird distress produced nothing. Use a decoy especially when hunting alone. The tip on using a UV killer detergent is a good one. I switched to that this year and am getting away with more movement than before. When using a leafy suit or ghilly suit top, trim the sleeves back a bit. I had a string in the action of my AR that prevented it from closing properly as I loaded my rifle in the dark one morning. Cost me a yote in a tournament. I trimmed up the sleeves so there is nothing much past the elbow to irritate me and like it better. I often call in overalls instead of pants/shirt. It keeps me from having a shirt come untucked and getting cold. Cold means uncomfortable which means to much movement. Waterproof overalls like the Cabelas MT50 are great for keeping my butt dry and warm when sitting on wet ground or snow. Carry a pad or stool if there is much snow, don't trust the waterproof bibs 100%! [/QUOTE]
