Not crossbow hunting but its hunting !
Got up at first light and head to a place close by and sneek in and setup the fury and Mojo and settle back about 40 yards from the caller.
I turn on the cottontail Distress 035 for 1 minute at vol 24 then I raise the volume to 28 for 32 seconds and then back down to 24 for another minute. I mute the caller and as I watch the woods edge I catch a gret yote trotting straight out towards the caller. I allow him to come and get ready at about 50 yards when I see movement back at the woods and out pops a Black. She stands at the woods edge and watches the grey confront the caller. I swing and set the crosshairs on the black and down she goes. The other hauls a$$ and I turn on the Kihi and at around 200 yds he stops and broadside I shoot and miss I was right on him and have to wonder if I shot over it
anyway this is this is the second black yote I have taken in 2 years...

Re: Not crossbow hunting but its hunting !
What brand of caller are you using? I am currently researching them and want a reliable one that has good battery life and will work at least 100 yds away from my stand.

I use the FoxPro Fury and hand calls. Always have hand calls with you and ready as at times you dont have time to get the fox pro out. I never place the caller any farther then 40-45 yards max so i'm not sure how far out it goes...

That's very cool Adrian. I have never seen a dark coyote like that one. Way to go.

Re: Not crossbow hunting but its hunting !
I just purchased a FoxPro Scorpion X1B. I had it out on the weekend for a test run just to try it out and get used to the remote buttons. I had it set up 80 yards from me and it worked flawlessly. I was sitting on the ground and the caller was propped up in a small scrubby bush about 2 feet off the ground.UPSMAN wrote:What brand of caller are you using?

Re: Not crossbow hunting but its hunting !
Congrats on the yote that is a very big one compared to ones I've shot. Thats pretty awesome also getting a black one. You probably educated the other one you missed but maybe it will come back soon for you. Good Luck

Re: Not crossbow hunting but its hunting !
We have lots of hybred Coyotes here in Ontario. Back in my forestry days of 1977 we talked about that issue in class.
