Mad Male Coyote

[DoubleUp]

I killed the biggest male I've ever shot last night. My hunting partner didn't go, so I was all alone. It was a great stand. I saw one before it got really dark on the opposite end of the field from me. I did some prey distress but couldn't get his attention. Then I did 3 howls and still couldn't get his attention. He left going to another field that was deeper than where I was.

My lone howls set off a male behind me, and I mean he was fit to be tied. I'm guessing they were denning in there. In the meantime, I went back to prey distress and a really big bobcat came into the field. I gave him some seriously pitiful prey distress and he just couldn't stand it. He was about to pounce on the call even with the big male coyote raising a furor.

I gave the coyote some challenge howls and that just made him even more angry. The big bobcat didn't like those challenge howls coming from the call and left in a hurry. My wind was so the coyote couldn't smell me. I went to coyote fight sounds, and here he came looking for the intruder. I dropped him at 135 yds. It was one of my most enjoyable stands this year. I mean that big male was going absolutely crazy challenging, and it was good to trick him. One shot DRT. Here is a black hot picture with the Phenom and the video follows below.
