[QUOTE="Reemty J, post: 1884641, member: 113694"] When I first was in Mondamtana (1983) I was lucky enough to live in the same small town as a good coyote trapper and caller, this fellow was generous and helpful in my learning curve (he showed me coyote howling along with rabbit sound, howling was pretty new then) and I was able to go with him many times. One thing he told me was, he did not believe anyone could walk a coyote down, meaning, cut a fresh track, get your snow camo on and track it down and shoot it............well I am 1/2 sauerkraut, so I just had to prove him wrong. It was December and back in September I had shot the front leg off a running coyote and could not recover it. Well we had new snow and there was the three legged track of that coyote, long story short, 2 miles later I caught up with that coyote and put a 52 gr speer hollow point from my 22-250 in it. By the way, that front leg was almost completely healed and that coyote was fat!! In the following 37 years I have got on a fresh track and caught up with the coyotes successfully more times than not.
