On a hog sit and as I was at my camera checking the card for the previous two day's hog arrivals ,
some mouthy coyotes started sounding off rather close but off of property. I had previously gotten
this black coyote picture here so I threw out the ecaller half way between my camera and myself in a
brush-pile. Three groups of coyotes answered my howls so I switched it up. It wasn't long and I caught a coyote bounding through the timber toward the 40 acres I have permission to hunt which is a fresh clear cut. He played hard to get for a short bit but I got him to cross the creek. At the shot I reached for my remote to play pup distress while following him with the scope and thought maybe I had missed wishing he wasn't the black coyote. I waited thirty minutes with zero calling then as I was looking for blood with my remote to my caller in my blind, I look into the woods and a coyote is slowly stalking parallel to me. I spot this one with my scanner and by the time I get to a tree he hides behind a rise. I catch pieces of him in the thick under-brush until he starts barking and raising cane.
A rookie mistake as I stand there with no calls and a pissed off coyote looking for a fight. I cut my look short thinking that is the coyote I missed until I return home and check the footage. I hit the coyote and his buddy was the other visitor. 30.4 pound male
