The coyotes that I have seen or called in are pretty much always on the move. The one that I killed about a week and a half ago did not want to hold still for me. I finally got on him w/ thermal,and gave a bark. This will stop them for _______ ...about that long. You damn well had better be ready.
When guiding in Maine I used to get the sport on them...scope caps off,safety off,finger on trigger...then bark. They would slam on the brakes and take a look. This, for at the most 5 seconds. I'd tell the sports...."as soon as he stops,break the trigger". Doing this I have never got the second chance unless the yote wants to take that one last look from a distance of a quarter mile. --- pruhdlr
