[QUOTE="TRnCO, post: 1987345, member: 115202"] So since getting my 1st suppressor 8 years ago, I have successfully killed 7 quads and a six pack on a single stand. Along that same time is when I shifted to nearly 100% ecall, and along the way have learned that coyote vocals are a very powerful tool, especially when we get into late season/breeding season. So I'll give the details of one specific stand that I called in a quad, that all came in together, and killed them all, and never fired a shot at a moving coyote. This particular stand is one over looking a large flat pasture with very little cover. I usually enter this stand in the dark hoping to get in without being detected. I do have a few soapweed to sit in giving me a little bit of cover to blend in with. On this particular stand I started with a series female lone howls right at first light. I immediately had vocal group response about 1/2 mile out. It was probably a little too dark yet really, so instead of pushing the issue, I waited a few more minutes before doing anything else as I didn't want them to come before I could really see well. After several minutes went by I did another series of the same lone female howls and again immediately got a vocal response, but much closer now. I was then able to locate the group with my bino, and they were already coming my way, so I sat and watched as they were committed and coming, coming good. As the group came racing in I hit my #1 preset, loud barks. The first coyote was coming so hard that it actually got on by me before stopping, BUT #2 and #3 slammed on the brakes at a mere 35 yards, so I center punched the first one that I found in the scope. At the shot, all 3 remaining started to run off, but with the loud barks still playing, none ran very far before checking up, and at that point I settled the cross hair and downed #2. At the shot the remaining two coyotes started to run off at which point I hit preset #2 which is a coyote fight. Shortly after starting the fight sound, the other two stopped for a moment and then came running back in, and then I hit preset #1, loud barks, and got them to check up again, and I dropped #3 of the bunch. And once again, the last remaining coyote started to run off, so I hit preset #2 again, and once again, the coyote stopped and then started to come back in, but checked up at just over 100 yards, so that's when I downed him. In wide open country, even where the coyotes can see everything around them, it's easy to fool their minds into thinking that they can't see everything. They are hearing barks, or fights, for example, and it'll keep them engaged and coming back for more. The coyote vocals that we have available to us are very powerful, especially when multiples are involved. If a guy hasn't started to use them, he really needs to, and learn their value.
