[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2496158, member: 91783"] In the spring of 2016 , well late winter really here , April , early May . I got a call from a friend telling me he had coyote bothering his cows that were calving . He had heard them howling and had caught sight of them at great distances . I told him I would be down in the morning to the pasture where he was calving . I got down to his place and came in from the top side of that pasture in the dark the following morning . I parked in a low spot on the under side of the hills crest went through a saddle to the side of the hill over looking the calving pasture . I picked my way down hill to some large boulders and started glassing the area . I was there for maybe half an hour when off a mile or so I heard a long low howl , I knew that area as it came from where I had taken a den the year before the new coyote had came to the old denning area as is pretty common . The new occupants liked the area the same as many other generation had for their denning area . Any way after the long low howl there was a lone higher pitched reply . then in a few minutes I heard the yipping and kyi yies of two coyote getting together. I looked in their direction and pretty soon saw a pair of coyote move down off of a hill side and onto a two track road trotting in the direction of the calving pasture . by now it was getting shooting light , I just watched them coming crawl under the fence and into the pasture with the cows and wander around in amongst the cows . I howled one long lone howl , they stopped looked my way then in no particular hurry they started my direction . At that time I saw a truck heading in the direction of the pasture , feeding time , The two coyote headed up the hill hit the fence line at a low spot and laid down facing the truck . Cell phones are one good invention , I got my phone out called the rancher just as he was getting to the gate to enter into the pasture . I told him when you get out of your truck to open the gate take your rifle with you as about 200 yards and in front of you to your right are your pair of coyote laying in a low spot by the fence .
