me and a buddy started hunting at 12:00 a.m. this morning. about our 3 location, i set up on this huge cornfield for fox. wind was blowing right down the edge so i set the caller 10 yards into the field off the corn and sent my buddy 100 yards down into the field, i stayed by the caller at the corner of the corn incase they stayed on the inside of the corn and popped out at the corner. I started with 1 minute of rodent in distress very low, went to cotton tail very low for 2 minutes then same sound med loud for 3 minutes, switched over to baby cottontail very low and i hear bang so i keep playing hoping to draw in another one, waited about 10 minutes and i can see my buddy walking back and forth where he shot, so i pick up the caller and walk down to him. he said when i switched over from the loud rabbit to the lower higher pitched rabbit, two coyotes ran out of the corn 30 yards away from him and he shot at the second one. we looked for it but couldn't find it, thought maybe it got into the corn and died, checked for about 15 minutes and couldn't find it. the other dogs in the pack started barking and howling at us from about 500 yards away in the corn. not a good feeling looking for a coyote in standing corn at night. in my buddies defense he was set up for reds, we never saw a yote on this property and it is close to town. he was using 2 3/4 copper plated #6. we did go back this morning, found i small tuff of hair and the tracks, no blood, followed them in the mud for at lease 200 yards and nothing. he either had a flat out miss or just stung it. anyway it was an exciting stand.
also when the pack started barking at us in the corn, another pack on the mountain started howling. seems like this farm may go from a red farm to coyote farm.
