[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2716388, member: 91783"] It depends on what type of calling you are doing and what area you are calling as to the average age of the coyotes you call. In the spring of the year when you are den hunting and howling the coyotes most of them will be older than a year old, in the fall when you are using rabbit sounds most of them will be the young of the year, around breeding season most of them will be the yearlings if you are using say female invitation sounds, or female challenge sounds, if you are using male interrogation, challenge or such sounds often the younger ones will stay out at a distance and the older ones will be looking for a fight . If you are in an area that hasn't been called much and by just a few people, you will get a mix of age groups but often it will be an older age average due to the fact that they have set up their territory and are probably keeping the younger except a helper or two out of it. If it's your bucket list to kill one at 1000 yards, then that's what you are looking to do, you just need to think it through and do it at the right time of the year so as not to cause yourself more work than you need to or others that are doing control work a lot of problems. I built a 6.5x284 to shoot one at 1000 yards myself. But I was the one doing the control work and figured out the best time and location for me to do it. I ended up killing one at 643 yards and with my 30-06 not my 6.5x284. It's mostly a matter of thinking about it and making your plan so that it works out for the best in the end. [/QUOTE]
