Was out spot lighting last night with the family, just got into it and seen 2 pair of deer in some back wood fields. As we were climbing the next rise my wife says "stop the truck", her window is open we hear a pack of coyotes howling (I guess assembling for the nights hunt). Luckily, I had my howler in the truck and gave a invitation howl, a split second of silence then they started up the howling again. I thought I heard the old male give a howl. I then gave em pup distress with a pup squaller and that shut em right up. First time I've heard them since the new year. Very close to home too. I'm thinking of getting permission from the property owner just to see if they are denned up in that draw. Eager for a fall hunt.
BTW seen over 30 deer last night, one large herd of about 12. Not one fawn though.
