First thing this am had two come in and run circles around me and hit the after burners .Nothing the rest of the day .Last stand was upaganst?sp a persimon tree between some almonds and some cherries.Did some dog death screams for maybe one minute and one runs out of the almonds and in the cherries.I can see him messing around in them maybe 45 yards out. I just sit there and see if the decoy will bring him in .He runs up to the decoy and jumps back,circles it. And perfect . The arrow is on its way. See it diapear the coyote flips and takes off and I lose it . Find the arrow.
 
And lots of this.
 

Was folowing the trail and look up and there he is.


Me the coyote and the little persimon tree.

Input.

Out put

Took three months sence my last one ,but been real fun trying. Look at all that nice fluffy hair and it has a nice white tip on its tail.
This guy was in bad shape and hungry.

Heres the call made buy a freind of mine.

Great shot,congrats.      

Way to go TD.  You're tough on them predators.....lots of fun and that last pic is a hoot!

nice!!!  I love seeing them things down for the count..

Way to go!!

Man, yotes with trad gear, that's impressive. Kudos!

Great job!

Good shooting.  

I haven't seen one yet this bow season, and that is unusual.  Between the coyotes, hawks and, I suspect, fishers (saw 5 at once!) we lost 25 chickens this past summer.  I was planning to get a little revenge.

Excellent !!

What are you holding in your bow hand ?

   

Congratulations. So what was the decoy?

congrats! what was your setup(bow,broadhead) for this hunt? good to see some people in california getting it done.  

Impressive is an understatement.

Thanks guys. Gatekeeper the decoy is a old racoon tail that I let my dog chew on. That way it has some dog smell on it.Heres a picture of it hanging from a stiff wire.and where the coyote was .decoy on left arrow is where I shot him.
 
View from arrow (coyote)to the persimontree. just right of the big cherrie tree.
 
Cherries he was messing around in after he was called in.
 
Gatekeeper I never touch the decoy with my bare hands you donot want human scent on it.Its going to get on it any way but I think it helps.

I called a coyote into a deer decoy a few years back and everything was cool until he put his nose to the ground and smelled where I stood when I setup the decoy. When he hit that scent he turned inside out and boogied out of sight.

What do you do to minimize your scent around your decoy setup? I agree with not touching the decoy. Do you store your decoy in the freezer?
