[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2068246, member: 91783"] Reemty you have been busy . All good descriptions of some fine hunts . I have never had that many coyote to work on , in my area if I had 3 or 4 in an area of say 5x3 miles I thought that I had a bunch except if there were a group of pups with a pair that had moved in to train the pups to hunt . Not having cut stubble were I 'm at they lay on the lea side of a hill , small rise or in a small low spot and in draws out of the wind but as you have said you will spot their heads and ears unless they are standing . Here if you bump one it's running flat out till it finds a rough draw or some sage brush then it just disappears into the surroundings . they will lay up at the base of a sage brush curling around it with their head down low and ears laid back in a low spot or even a cow trail . I've been ground crewing and watched them hear the plane before I could , take off on a run hit a cow trail and lay down in it letting the plane do it's hunting then wait till it had been gone for up to half an hour before they would get up . I have watched them hit some sage brush or some tall grass and they just seem to melt into the ground . They may stay there laid up for hours then . I got good at seeing a laid up coyote not moving by picking up on their face and ears as you do . I spotted several while in the gunners seat of the chopper that didn't move that the pilot didn't seem to be able to see till I shot them . Most of the pilots and gunners are used to seeing a running coyote or fox and don't see them standing or laying if they don't move . After you call for awhile you learn to see them not moving . A lot of newer callers say they aren't having any luck at calling when they really are they just don't see the coyote that are laid down watching them in a low spot . When your out there to kill ,killers you spend time with them in their environment studying them and learning what it is that they do .
