Only got three yesterday. Was a great day, but conditions were unusual and tricky. At some stands the wind was 10 - 20 mph and gusty, and at other stands there was hardly any wind at all.
Occasionally, one of us will stop to call one side of the road and the other will go a bit further and call the other side. The first coyote was obtained doing this. I crossed a fence and walked about 60 yds to a good stand. After 15 minutes of calling I had seen nothing so I gave up and headed back. After crossing the fence, I looked back and saw movement. Sure enough there was a late comer coyote, lasered at 258 yds. My .223 is zerod at 100 yds, so I rested it on a fence post, held high and nailed it with a solid lung shot. She didn't take a step.
The next (and last) two were taken at one stand. First coyote stopped at about 85 yds and I nailed with another lung shot. The second followed within a minute or two and came closer; Earl shotgunned it at about 45 yds.
