There have been threads about everything on here in the past. It is my believe they are a great trophy with a trad bow so lets see them.

An oldie but a goodie. This is me and a songdog that I called up while elk hunting in the Washakie Wilderness of Wyoming in the late 80s or early 90s. This was one very surprised coyote when she realized she had been fooled up to about 6 feet. I think I came to half draw and shot her as her eyes got that 'deer in the headlights' look.
-
For those who post in this thread I'd like to know who purposely seeked them out or called them in and got one vs. "It walked under my deer stand" or "By my blind"...Huge difference!
I use to hunt them with a gun for a living for 3 winters, I've shot 3 with a bow that I called in and I use to try a bunch, it's been a long time for me though. One of the smarter animals out there for sure.
-
Got this one last year hunting on the ground at about 5-6 yards away. She was just coming down the trail and stoped and looked away from me. I'll take lucky any day.

I was glassing for muley bucks a few years ago, saw a coyote messing around down below me. I nocked an arrow, lip squeeked it in to 10 yards, and shot it through it's chest. It made it only 20 yards, but in a rock crevice, and I couldn't fit inside to get it out. :(
-
It's been a good year for me with the yotes. Shot this guy while on deer stand.

That 160 snuffer sure makes tracking easy.

That was actually the first of 2 this year. Cant seem to figure out how to upload phone photos of the other one.
-
Lets see, the first is a Wyoming coyote from waay back in 1992. I caught him napping in a coulee while Iwas bunny hunting and luckily had a couple broadheads in the quiver.

This second dog is from Alaska and I still-hunted into her howls. Doesn't quite look like a coyote.... maybe its some Iditarod racers lost sled dog ; ^ )

Sweet Steve :thumbsup:
I kill a few hundred a year, but not with a bow. I have been trying on the weekends when the wind is not blowing 50 mph.
-
I think I got the download from my phone right. Here is the second one this year. Pinned him to the ground.

I spotted this guy hunting mice in a field. I brought him into bow range by making kissing sounds on the back of my hand. It took 3 arrows to make him give up the ghost.

Saw this guy packing something bloody, waited til he got around downwind and sqeeked him up. He stopped and buried the morsel he had, then came in to get the easy meal, shot him at 15 yds with a 64" d/r from a treestand.
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/kennym/015-8.jpg)
FAST FORWARD ONE WEEK
This one ran a big doe in, she stopped under my stand, I thought a buck was chasin, but looked over my shoulder and saw him. Wondered what the heck is he doin in this game.
She took off and he locked in on her again and here he came. Passing me at full run, I drew, made a kissy noise, and he turned up the low ditch bank to me and stopped at 18 yds.
Shot him under the chin with a Delta with the same 64" test bow as the other yote. He ran 20 yds and I thought, how the heck did that miss him. Then he head-on-ed a tree and was done.

I've called in 2 others and bowshot them, but no pics, sorry! :dunno:
-
Saw this one down in a creek bottom mousing. A lip squeak brought him in.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/charlie/coyoterailfence.jpg)
This one was moving through willows when I saw him and took off on a stalk towards him. It worked.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/charlie/meandcoyote1.jpg)
I was hog hunting in Texas and spotted this dog while slipping through the mesquite. He came to a lip squeak.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/charlie/TexascoyoteR.jpg)
I've had 3 coyotes approach my tree stands this season and every one made me before offering a shot. I never have had that work.
-
Earlier this year as I was walking back to my truck I saw eye's in my headlamp.. There were several coyotes around a long dead cow.. This one got a bit to curious for his own good..

Here's one I shot last year. I was specifically hunting this dog and a bigger male. I shot him at about 18 yards. Sorry about the crappy photo, my wife didn't want to get out of bed to take a picture for me. I think he weighed around 35 pounds. I've got some better photos of some of the others I've shot, but I've misplaced the memory card they're saved on.
The skeleton of this particular coyote is being placed in the museum of a local university. I'll be taking some photos of it in March. One of its front feet had bone cancer in it. The bone looks like a sponge.
-
Here's another one I shot early this fall. I was in a stand in a live oak and this little coyote came slipping by right underneath me.. When he got out about 10 yards he was moving straight away from me. The arrow hit him above the hips and went forward into the chest. He didn't go far..

All but one called in with hand calls.The one was sleeping. Took three years to get them.
Hunting coyotes is realy addictive.

Congrats! Coyotes are true trophy's :knothead:

They have caught me off guard many times while I was at some distance stalking other animals and not yet even had an arrow nocked.
Nobody stated I hung the hide , had it mounted etc.. Good show men Merry Christmas

Got this girl while hunting deer in kansas out of a blind down in the creek bottom. She came trotting along at 8:23am on a cold morning out about 40 yards. I was going to try a shot but then remembered reading about Tradgangers squeeking them in so gave it a try. She put on the breaks and then came running in, she saw me draw and jumped three feet up in the air at the shot and took off blazing away. I lost sight of her about 70 yards when she went around some trees. I thought I missed her but when I got the arrow it was covered in blood. Two hours later I went to where I last saw her and there she was 30 yards away. I was so psyched and it was the highlight of my trip.
-
Tim, you are a master !!!
I'm curious, how much country are you hunting ?? I ask since I wonder if you are calling in fresh locations most of the time?
In one of your pictures you appear to be holding a
"visual aid".. How do you set it up and utilize it?
Great shooting !

I saw many coyote chases of deer. They usually come right at prime time when the bucks start to show up. Ha! This was my eight coyote with a bow. Mike
-
Pat some places get hit once a week others maybe twice a year. Most weekends a full tank of gas.One of my good spots is 15 minutes from home.Some BLM and Forest lands But mostly private property. I think your seeing the rabbit tails hanging on my bow.Best decoy is a tail hanging from a stick. I seen too many scared off buy the fancy mechanical decoys the have out now.Less is best.

I use to use big bird feathers tied to a bush and used a few bushes at a time.
Edit: Oh and one time my sisters per rabbit on a leash...Shhh :smileystooges: ....

This was my first Trad kill......stopped it by squeaking into the back of my hand whne I saw her cruising the woods. She stopped briefly then started trotting away.....Drew back and shot her on the run at what ended up being 33 paces from my treestand.... lucky shot I guess.
-
Ben.... if you were trying to hit that coyote then it wasn't luck. It was preparation meeting opportunity.
;)

My first yote with a longbow! Shot while deer hunting!

Good lookin mount!!
-
BTW Mr. FerretWyo, I know you have coyote pics! :saywhat: :D :wavey:
-
Great looking mount, Jamie! Some of you guys are coyote killing machines. I can't tell you how many I've missed...even at point blank range. Truly a great trophy with a bow, in my book! I did finally connect on a big stupid female a couple years ago...with a selfbow.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/woodwizard/markscoyote.jpg)
My buddy Fish Fisher shot this one while he was sleeping out on the prairie, same year...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/woodwizard/Fyote.jpg)
-
The Yote or your buddy sleeping on the prairie?.. :dunno:
-
Ha! I think it was the yote, Ron. I don't know....coulda been one of those mystical zen-reality dreamstate occurances perhaps....he's always been a great hunting partner, and "stuff" always seems to happen when I hunt with him!
-
This second dog is from Alaska and I still-hunted into her howls. Doesn't quite look like a coyote.... maybe its some Iditarod racers lost sled dog ; ^ )
Wow, that one looks very "wolfey".
-
Great mount, Jamie!
Nice field photo, TJ.
Where are your pics FW? Know you got a few to show... :readit:
I've never killed one with a bow, but it is not for lack of trying.

My thoughts also, The length of snout and size of the paws. Maybe a juvenile or a half breed feral. Beautiful animal.
-
Here's one from a few years back. Missed way more than hit. They are quick.

You guys have done good. I`,e never killed a yote. I missed two. We don`t see them often around here.
Love the Scrambler Mr. Ron. Got a Wrangler myself.RC

I was out turkey hunting this spring and called this guy in. First kill with a trad bow (other than a rabbit or two)

Here are a couple that I have taken. I called the second one in sqeaking on the back of my hand.

That is a big MO coyote, look at hte size of his head!!
-
This is my HERO post.
You guys are the kings in my book. I cannot get even REMOTELY close to a coyote with my bow. Took my first red fox this year, but coyotes are not willing to play for me. Its my most sought after game animal right now.
-
This a black coyote I killed several years ago. In the south we have several different color phase.
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k632/arrowman2/UEFOC121.jpg)
This is what he looks like today. The fur has lightened up alittle.
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k632/arrowman2/UEFOC124.jpg)
To date I've killed 9 with either a longbow or recurve.
Sorry for the fuzzy pics. The first is a pic of a picture.
