Well that's it guys. My goal was 20 for the season and I fell one short of that. As you can see after the first few I started carrying scales and weighing them. Just thought it would be interesting. Also as you can tell by my shot range, they were getting alot cagier toward the end of the season.
Thanks for reading, Todd.

Interesting data. Did you keep any records on number of stands, or only successful stands?
Good hunting. LB

Leonard, I did not keep record of the number of stands. However, for the last half of September and all of October I do know that I called one coyote in for every four stands made. After that I lost track. Once I went for nearly a month and did not call one in. Just as everyone always says, "give me the month of October". The dispersal around her is then and it is great calling. Todd.
