[QUOTE="BooneLiane, post: 2840632, member: 127053"] These coyotes have changed so much in the era of recreational calling being the “in” thing, fox pros, and now thermals. I took a den here two weeks ago that should have been a fun, “game on” situation. Had an idea where the den was but not an exact location so I snuck in in the dark with the idea of just glassing and letting mom and dad show up on their own. Ended up just 350 yards from the hole. Watched pups (and big, early litter pups at that) screwing around for an hour before I spotted mom and dad. Wind was shifting on me so had to hurry mom and dad home. Pup distress SHOULD have had them in my lap in about 40 seconds. Heck they were only 600 yards away. Nope. Mom sat on a hill, dad paced back and forth along a ridge screaming and barking his head off, but they weren’t gonna come. Finally coaxed a babysitter in to about 450 and killed him. Normally I wouldn’t have done that, but since I knew where the pups were, I decided one adult was better than none. As it wasn’t looking good to pick up those other two. Ended up taking the den but didn’t get either parent. Not ideal at all, but better than a kick in the teeth. That scenario seems to be getting more and more common. [/QUOTE]
