[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2316691, member: 91783"] I got a call one evening and asked if I could go up and locate for the plane the next morning . I had checked out this place several days earlier and had a good idea were there was a pair that had a den and another that was running by it's self . The denning pair are not as hard to work as the single coyote , they have an area that they will fight to protect . I got up there in the dark turned my headlights off and made my way to where I wanted to park my truck . I got my truck out of sight shut it off and got out to just listen to the world . I have never burnt out a bulb in my dome lights as I turn them off and leave them off . every thing has it's place and is kept there so I don't need to see it well lit to find it but I still have real good night vision . If you don't try a red lens in your flashlight . So then I got out of my truck and stood just listening to what was being said , to my far left I heard a lone coyote howl out in front of me a pair answered her . she had a higher pitched voice and the time of the year told me that it wasn't a pup . the ones to my front had high and low pitched voices so that told me it was a pair male and female . Way off to my right another pair answered them . They were down in the timber and rocky ridge not a place you tell any one flying even a helicopter to go after them . The sun was up and the shadows long when the pilot came on the radio for my location and if I had any thing located for him . I gave him my report and he came in he was off the mark on the pair as he buzzed the flats where they were I gave him some corrections and he came around again only to see them running up into the rocks and some scattered trees . He tried to get them to run back toward me into the open but being coyote they didn't corporate and laid low . I told him it was ok I would get them in the evening or the next morning and gave him the directions to the single coyote .
