[QUOTE="the shotty, post: 569022, member: 27217"] Last youth season my brother and I were going to try some calling and were hiking to a spot I wanted to try out. We were walking some railroad tracks walking on the rails trying to be quiet when all the sudden the crush rock exploded in front of us. I thought Crap we spooked something and flipped on the spot light. Much to our surprise we had three younger yotes running strait at us at about 15 yards and closing. One jumped into the corn field to our right, one went left into the creek bed and one just turned broadside at about 10 yards and stares at us. It scared my brother so bad he couldn't figure out what the heck it was as I was yelling at him to shoot it! He finally let go with some OOO buck and hit it in the butt he was shaking so bad at this point I realized I should use my weapon light and shoot rather than deal with the stupid spot light and drilled him with my .17 hmr as he was on his way out. I have had a number of other close encounters at my home which is in a development in the middle of berry farms with my neighboring houses within 20 yards of each other where I have caught coyotes traveling through our yards at night despite a number of large dogs next to the houses. There are definitely A number of our local coyotes that have adapted just fine to humans and could care less. Which makes my job all the more fun ;) [/QUOTE]
