Even electronic calls should be concealed when hunting.
as I was preparing to shoot, the coyote casually stood and turned slightly to walk or trot away. I never found out which as I tugged the trigger. A heap of fur rolled from behind the bushes as the dead coyote fell. My friend was overly excited at
the rifle report and soon was hunkered beside me and asking about where I had shot.

Deep brush on a distant hillside, by pronounced points in the terrain, and other places where a coyote can look out but be par- tially concealed, or become concealed in
a micro-second, are places to pinpoint and carefully observe. Once you’ve noted the likely “stop-n-stare” points, grab a range- finder and determine the range from you to there. I was very lucky when I ranged to the coyote I mentioned pre- viously. In most cases a coyote pauses for a minute, or less, in those select long distance spots, and then they move. Un-
