[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 3085430, member: 91783"] In 1987 I was doing some control work for the county. I went out to a rancher's place met him and was shown around his place and told that his neighbors also wanted me to check a few of their pastures as well. The neighbors gave me permission to go into their pastures. I took two dens from the original rancher's place found an old ewe with bad mastitis and told him about her he asked me to put her down if I got the chance. I went to the neighbor's pasture bordering him and was doing some tracking, found some male and female mud prints coming in and out of his pasture, as I tracked them, I got set up on a small pine ridge and was just looking and glassing as I figured I was getting close to the den because of the heavy traffic of them on the trails. Laying on a small rise in the shade of a pine tree was a coyote, I gave a howl and a bark it stood up then ran my way I shot it then checked it and had a wet female she showed 8 pups. I put her in my truck then went to the other side of a draw and got set up, it was nearly 9:00 by then, so I gave a lone female howl, waited several minutes and gave another lone howl. Straight across from me I saw a coyote laying in a small saddle staring my way. It would look at me then at a small open grassy place down the hill from us. I was a smoker at that time and knew he knew that I was a human and, in his area, so I lit a cigarette smoked it knowing it took me 5 minutes to smoke one, I then got him in my scope let out some puppy squeals and watched his ears stand up turn towards me, he then stood and slowly started my way came down a small hill crossed an open place then stopped on a cow trail facing me at about 50 yards. Down in the grassy open spot he and the female had both been watching was a hole dug out around ten feet deep was the den and eight puppies. I took a lot of coyotes with very little calling being done here where I am I so many times found that for me it worked best to not over do my calling but to keep it kind of toned down and limited the same as they do when they talk to one another.
