First Coyote Hunt of Spring 2023

Night season has wrapped up here in Illinois, and this hunt kicks off my day season for 2023. Textbook hunt, as this coyote does exactly what I want it to, walking into a perfect setup.

What call is that

[@peterkohl1863]

Last 1/4 of video is painful to listen to the wind noise

[@gregsido9235]

Audio is horrible!

[@closeencounterguidedpredat8595]

Some editing issues and high wind washed out most of the dialogue audio. Will do better going forward.

[@imzpolecat]

Your intro audio is blaring the rest of audio sucks!

[@closeencounterguidedpredat8595]

Had a little trouble editing the audio volume and the wind was bad enough that it washed out most of the dialogue audio. It'll be better going forward.

I don't understand why you didn't at least take a shot at the 2nd one running away. It would have made a good video and, if you lead them and are a good shot, you might have hit it. At least take the shot, as I see it.

[@closeencounterguidedpredat8595]

The coyote running away was about 600 yards. I didn't shoot because I do everything based off of statistics. A running shot, in high wind, taking from standing on a tripod, is a VERY low percentage shot. People like to pull the trigger, so they'll mag dump and run that coyote out of the area entirely. I'm better off either letting it go and trying to call it back, or just letting it go and hunting it on another day. Considering I shot the male, the female will most likely have pups in that timber or near a drainage ditch like they have there in the past. Makes more sense for me to kill her later when she's a little more vulnerable.
