Went out coyote hunting for the first time today. I couldn't sleep last night because I was so excited like it was christmas. I got up early and headed out before sunrise. I started calling abit after the sun came up. I called for about 40 mins and decided nothing was working so I was going to move along. I set my rifle down and opened a pack of hot hands because they were colder than a witch's teet. Next thing I know..about 50 yards or less from me.. sure enough a coyote comes runnin in hot. I reached for my gun and turned back towards the coyote and he was already headed for the hills! He ran down into a drainage ditch and never had a good shot unfortunately. I tried to call him back but he was long gone.
It was my first time calling and I used a mouth call so I was happy I was atleast able to call one in!
