Wow one heck of a thread! I am not sure if I killed as many Coyotes the whole of last year as are pictured in this thread. It isn't all that easy to call them in around my place north of West. Seems there are not as many as there were in past years either. In fact there even seems to be a drop in the feral hog numbers. Plenty of rabbits though.

One thing about it I've never walked up on a rabbit I'd shot and wanted to puke from the stench
That's a fact, I have shot some pigs that I didn't even want to put the rope on to drag to the pig disposal hole. One time I threw a set of gloves away because the pig stunk them up so bad. Couldn't have em inside the truck.
I tried yesterday to call up some coyotes. Hit the call, waited about 10 min., and called again. Looked about 300 yds down the pipeline and saw what appeared to be something with ears, looking my way. Eased the rifle up. looked thru the scope, and all I saw was a strange brown lump, where there shouldn't be anything. Scratching my head, trying to figure out what I was looking at. Finally the head came up again, and it was a doe. Just over the hill enough that I couldn't see the legs, just the back (strange brown lump). I just eased out, without spooking her, and went home.
Try again another day.

Randy, I've been giving them hell for the last few weeks, some times it's hard to tell what your looking at in the low morning light. parked the jeep behind a bush, and walked around it and sat down in the shade this morning, tooted my call and this little female came in, popped her and she spun like a top for about 10 sec.

Rio, Enjoying your posting and pictures!!! What part of S. Texas are you hunting? I coyote hunt SW of Catarina and as I’m sure you know, Coyotes are thick as fleas there too.
