[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2290877, member: 91783"] I was up on the mountain visiting my wife's sister and brother in law . His dad stopped by to tell me that he had a coyote attack his dog day before yesterday and that his dog even ran under his horse but the coyote kept charging it . I guess from what he said there was a rodeo that took place as his horse didn't like things like the dog and coyote under it's feet . I listened to his description of were it took place and told him I would have a look at it later that day . It all depends on what time of the year it is as to what is taking place . This took place in late May at an elevation of over 8000 feet near a rock out cropping so I suspected there were pups involved . Had it been in say March or late summer then I wouldn't have even went looking for that coyote and figured it to be sick because of it's actions . Being May I figured that it would still be in the area and had pups hidden in a hole under rocks near by . I went in to the area from behind where it had taken place parked my truck out of site and walked about half mile to a place close but not too close to where it was . I found me a good setup and sat down just watching the area for several minutes . As I didn't see any movement I got my call out and let out one lone long howl . I hadn't even finished my howl when I saw a coyote jump up and stand on a large rock out in front and to my left . It then jumped off of the rock and came on a dead run straight at my location .
