Shot a third but I couldn't find it. Might go back and look in the daylight.

Nobody can answer that question.Question for you guys that have been doing this a while.
Last night I took a hasty shot on a coyote and missed him.
When this happens is that stand basically finished and you need to go somewhere else or will they come back in if you keep calling them?
I don't want to start an aguement here, but some coyotes are absolutely dumb after being shot at. I've seen them stand around after being missed multiple times, with no idea what was happening. I've seen them missed and then run right back in to the call a few moments later. I've seen them missed multiple times on the way to a call and keep right on coming in like they weren't being shot at.Coyotes aren't dumb after being shot at. It will probably hang back and approach more cautiously next time.
Give that particular stand a few weeks off and try again. You never know.
Good Job,, nice “ shooten”!!!Made 7 stands today, killed 6 coyotes. Should have been a couple more, but always have that one stand where you don't think you need the shotgun. Never fails.
You know I did, and it was spot on. Drill one last week at 496 yds, and whiffed at 250 this week. I always tell people if you've never missed a coyote, then you haven't called very many in.Better go check that zero.
I miss them all the time. Way more often than I'd like to talk about, and my zero is almost always just fine.You know I did, and it was spot on. Drill one last week at 496 yds, and whiffed at 250 this week. I always tell people if you've never missed a coyote, then you haven't called very many in.
Shoot & hit or shoot & miss - have the call set to automatically go to coyote pups in distress, I've had them come back after a miss (usually females) and others come in to pups in distress after a shot, you never knowQuestion for you guys that have been doing this a while.

You just have to keep calling. If they came in to rabbit, keep playing rabbit..etc. especially shooting suppressed, they often don't even seem to understand what a suppressed shot was. The flipping to a ki-yi or a pup distress after a shot is usually most effective during early fall before the family groups are fully busted up, and late December through March for breeding/Denning seasons. Otherwise, just keep using what brought them in.Shoot & hit or shoot & miss - have the call set to automatically go to coyote pups in distress, I've had them come back after a miss (usually females) and others come in to pups in distress after a shot, you never know
What electronic callers are you guys using? I have a foxpro patriot and for smaller little things at low volume, it does good. But the howls and barking just sounds so fake. I hunted with a guy who had a nice foxpro and when it turned on, it sounded like an actual pack of yotes were there.
I’ve been debating between lucky duck and foxpro. I’m leaning towards the lucky duck. It’s just hard to spend $400-500 on a caller and not like it.
Buddy was out last week with 2 other guys.
17 in a day for them.
No pics. Sorry
It's definitely possible, with good shooting and a lot of stands. But my first guess would be night hunting.Called Up And Killed 17 in one day, or off dead piles ? Rest of the story ? That's got to be some kinda record

I have no doubt that it is possible. There have been teams turn in 50+ in a 24 hour tournament. Out west where they are thick, it can definitely be done. I've had days even here in TN where I could have killed 10 coyotes in a day if I could have put a bullet into every one I saw. I couldn't, and I've never killed more than 4 in a single day.All daylight.
All calls.
Know the area well.
Was a comp.
They took home some serious cash.
And yeah, my friend is pretty badass.
Wish I could get em like he does.

You’d done better @powdahound76 . That guy can’t shoot for shit, ask me how I knowAll daylight.

Put it somewhere you can sneak into, and also doesn't leave the coyotes exposed in the wide open. And you probably want to secure it somehow, or they'll just drag it off. A cow works better.
They won't need any help finding it, but depending on how safe they feel about the area, they may only be on it at night. However, until it's gone, they'll be in the area, so doing a set nearby is not a bad plan.Hadn’t thought about staking it down but great idea.
Do you typically call in conjunction or better luck just letting them find it?
Ask 10 experienced coyote hunters and you'll probably get 8 different answers. I used to be fairly well convinced that new moon cycles were the best time of the month for coyote activity, and I'll still give it a slight advantage for peak activity, but I had a bunch of full moon activity in the last couple years, and now I don't think it is nearly as impactful as life cycle, barometric pressure, storms, wind, temp, etc. The conditions that make it good are hard to nail down. Some of my best days have come when nothing seemed right, and then I've gone dry for weeks in a row when conditions seemed perfect. They do what they do, and only they know why. Anyone who thinks they can accurately predict coyote movement is probably a little foolish. It seems that nature moves together though. If you're seeing deer and other critters out everywhere, coyotes are probably on their feet. When you go into the woods and it's dead silent, might be hard to call up a dog. If you almost need earmuffs to drown out the birds and bugs, then it seems the coyotes are also on the move. Of course, I wouldn't bet on any of that. I hunt when I can. I might avoid a new or really good spot until I think everything is lined up perfectly, but I hunt anytime I can get away, weather can suck it..Are coyotes more or less likely to come out when the moon is in brighter stages?
I'm not a huge fan of vmax. Go with a nosler ballistic tip, if you're reloading. Thicker jacket, and less splashes. But if you're set on vmax, I would pick the 60gr.For those that do way more coyote hunting than me and using a 223, 53 gr vmax or 60gr vmax's? Will be running either out of a 20" 223.
