Well I've never got a double but I finally got a triple this evening. I've had the last two weeks off And have been out on several afternoons but haven't seen a glimpse of a yote until today. Its been raining off and on since yesterday so I went up to the base of the mountains. Weather was in the 40s, still overcast and a bit of mist plus patches of fog. Where I set up was about 200 yards from my truck across a couple of small draws in an old burn. I got set up and put my Alpha Dogg out about 50 yards turned on baby cottontail distress for a couple of minutes then off for about 3 min. About 30 sec. after I turned it back on a coyote came sneaking through from the left @ about 80 yards and looked like he knew something was amiss but couldn't place it. after crossing a ways he turned away from me and stopped at about 120 yards. I hit him square with my .222 Rem. Mag. and dropped him on the spot. At the shot I turned on coyote pup distress and within 90 seconds another showed up from the same direction, one more shot and one more yote. At the second shot another immediately showed up again from the same direction and he got a 50gr. Vmax also. It happened so fast that I lost track of where they went down and spent the rest of my light looking for the third one. It turns out I recovered the one on far left and the one in the middle, but had thought I got the one on the right and the one in the middle. So I ended up wasting time looking in the wrong area. Anyhow I went home and Picked up my wife and flashlights for recovery and pics. ![[Linked Image]](http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p93/hntnnut/20161231_144726_zpsooomebmi.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p93/hntnnut/20161231_202430_zps0mz2h8jy.jpg) Richard

Well done! That kind of success would make anyone coyote hunter grin.

I think that pup in distress thing would be great. I use hand calls exclusively, but the electronic calls have some real advantages.
