Had my buddy from OK fly in to do some coyote calling, newyawk style! We managed to kill one on a chilly morning, at one of my proven honey holes. I don't care how many coyotes I see come into the call elsewhere, there's nuthin' like calling one here in NY in the daytime!!!
We made some more good stands, just didn't have any takers. Unfortunately, a few other spots I had planned to hunt had been mowed down by the local hound hunters. We bumped into a crew one morning, and actually wound up hangin' with them for a couple hours. They even shot a coyote out in front of the hounds while we where there. Crazy part is, that coyote crossed the road and got shot literally 100yds from where we parked & made a stand the day before. That crew had been runnin' dogs thru that whole valley for the last couple weekends, so its no wonder a coyote didn't wanna stick its neck out & come to a call when we made stands down there.
Anyhoo, was sure glad to get one called in for my homey! Here's a quick vid, walking out after a successful stand. One happy Okie and one VERY happy newyawka!!!
6x45AI, 87Vmax ~180yds... 44.3 lb. female

Thanks, Fred
Interesting that you can call them that far from the treeline? That's pretty wide open for a honey hole, whatever works, eh?
Another thing. Destroys my concept of Neuyawk, totally!
Good hunting. El Bee
edit: yikes, I'd a never guessed that animal at 44 pounds?

Yeah, you can hear him guess 42 lbs when he picked it up. We weighed it back at the house. Hound hunters told us they had a 58 lb. male the week before!
Central newyawk cow country is beautiful! That spot is open, but secluded. Kind of a perfect storm of cover, approach terrain and favorable wind. Kicker is, the coyotes like to be there! Have a few stands like that, they are all I ever hunt, really. To a one, I'm honestly surprised (almost pissed) when they don't produce! Just glad one did & we got to enjoy the show...

Very nice Fred !! Interesting also. Different country here, probably not much difference in the farm land. I wouldn't imagine ? anyway I'm impressed getting her out in the open like that.

Nice to see what the country looks like where others hunt.
Dandy coyote too.

Thank you, guys!
Pretty sure that crunchy snow screwed us @ night. Man, in that sub-zero air, you could hear a mouse fart @ 200yds! Every step in the dark made me cringe with how loud it was. Had a pack answer us on one night stand and they were barely 400yds away. But they just wouldn't budge, and I threw the friggin' kitchen sink at em. They're gonna be a bitch to call in, now...if at all!
On a side note, while we were basking in the glory of killing ONE coyote in NY, Kelly & his partner Aaron whacked 15 on Saturday to win a contest in Okieland! Incredible...
