[QUOTE="Reemty J, post: 2070025, member: 113694"] Well the wind is blowing 30 mph, hour after daylight we took a cruise to glass a couple pivots where coyotes like to lay up for the day. A month ago I stalked a pair a 1/2 mile west of the pivots in some 2’ tall alfalfa and got close enough to kill the male at 200 and the female at 300 yards. A third one ran off that I was not aware it was there, thought I was working with only two. Anyway this 3 rd coyote, I have stalked it twice and missed it twice, so when we spotted it this morning for a brief 5 seconds as it stood up changed positions and laid back down, I figured I had a chance as it was within 200 to 300 yards of a thick fence line. 😳 long story short she was a mile away and I came at her straight, wind was left to right and if I got a shot it was going to be full value....I was within 500 yards and just about had full cover when “ she” jumped up and looked around, I hit my knees and had my binocs on my triggerstick watching her. She looked everywhere but never directly at me after a couple minutes she sat and yawned and then kept looking everywhere. I don’t carry a watch but after 10-15 minutes she crouched low and took off to the west in the pivot tire track, I believe she sensed me even though she couldn’t locate me she sensed I was there at 500 yards.... I havehad fox and lions do this but always at 15-30 yards not 500... I cannot otherwise explain it. I am pretty sure she is a yearling female just by her size and how she acts, any time I go there I can usually spot her laying upon this pivot, so that also makes me think she is a yearling and she was with that old pair I killed. I notice also she likes to walk and lay up in the pivot tire tracks, for those who are not familiar with them they usually are 6-12” deeper than the land around them. Ground is wet when using them and the weight of the pivot sinks the tires in the wet ground. Anyone else ever have a coyote sense you 500 yards away, I cannot figure out why else she did what she did.....also from now on I am making sure I have my 30 power Doctor- optics binoculars along as I always use them on big game and it will give me the ability to spot coyotes 2-3 miles away as long as heat waves are not too bad.....
