       Got time for another story?

       The first call of the day,very light wind and swirling around.
       That makes it very hard to set up in the right spots. We figured
       the wind would mostly be west something and set accordingly. We
       have voice activated 2ways so we tend to split up quite a ways.
       I'm two ridges to the east of the call and the boy is on the
       next ridge to the west looking down a BIG drainage with very
       short grass and a brushy stream bed in the bottom. The creek was
       probable 1/2 mile to the south of us and we where about 250
       yards apart. The wind behaved OK for most of the set kind of
       cross wind. My boy was on a coyote sound kick as of late so he
       started with a Female invite then rushed in to a Pup in
       distress. About 5 minuets two coyotes just appeared 100 yards in
       front of him on a full out charge. Meanwhile , When I set down I
       said to my self bummer if a coyote come up the hill directly in
       front of me I wouldn't see it. And you know what I was
       absolutely right.My boy whispered something in my ear bud what
       he said I have no idea but very shortly His 223 sounded off and
       I could hear the tell tail THUD! I whirled around as fast as an
       old fat guy can and my scope settled right on a fleeing dog.Crap
       a runaway.I squeezed the trigger as the cross hairs pasted his
       shoulder. IN the scope I could see coyote doing several
       cartwheels and stop. WOW 250 yards on a coyote with his
       afterburners on, and only on 4 power COOL!. We called some more
       before getting up to collect the animals. I was unaware there
       was TWO on the ground. The monster male I shot had come in SO
       fast the boy had to shoot the female I didn't see and the male
       had come with in 50 yards of me and I didn't see him till he was
       over the next ridge. THATS why we split up and always try to
       have a second shooter. I'm willing to bet most callers including
       us never see a large part of the coyotes they call, there DAMN
       good at there job.They can come across one inch grass on a
       billiard table flats and not be seen!When we skinned him out we
       could see the entrance hole just behind the left shoulder and it
       traveled up his neck and lodged someplace in his head,DEAD
       coyote.On a side note he had NO fat on his body, in the middle
       of December and no fat is not what we have been seeing. The
       female was as fat as a pig and plenty of fat under the skin. The
       teeth looked good and no broken jaw and anything we could see.
       We sliced him open and looked at the stomach content. He had
       just feed on a deer he was stuffed with skin and hair, don't
       know what that was about... Maybe he thought he could just take
       every one else's food if he got hungry. BIG DOG!

       Nice job guys....looks like a big dog.  Those dogs will eat
       about anything they can...hair and all.  They fill their stomach
       and go regurgitate and burry it for later.  Yummm.
