Great pictures. In all the shooting I do in our west I have a special desire to work the gumbo badlands you show in your no kill picture.
I notice in the west people don’t seem to give much credence to shotgunning coyotes, great to see you having at it.
Last comment, my Tikka’s have become my favorite for getting it done, you seem to favor your as well.

Super cool. Great shots there! You didn’t get the memo, clearly: foxpros don’t work for coyotes anymore

It's funny for being such great looking country I have yet to kill a coyote in those badlands. It's too back cause they look like they would be full of coyotes.
I'm always trying my best to be a better coyote caller and I see learning to bring them into shotgun range as the next step so I'm trying hard to get better at it.

Haha yup no good junk people seem to forget that you can download new different sounds on them and make them just as good as new again.

Those gumbos I see as traveling/denning areas. There’s not a bunch of food source in there. Where that gumbo country comes up to meet grass/hayfields There are usually some grassy flats below the rim of the surrounding fields. It’s those drop down flats that I work at first light when the dogs are coming up hunting. Generally the cuts have more brush up at that point as well holding bunnies.
I do not call from near those rims nor the slopes going down to those lower flats. I get down at the edges of those lower grass flats I described. I have had far better luck bringing coyotes in close when I’m down low rather than having them coming up hill at me while they scan hillside or rim. With the sound above them I think they hold back expecting to pick out the source. Conversely I have shot countless coyotes who have appeared on the rims above so scan above as well as out front.
Down in those gumbos I have shot some gnarly old dogs...on super windy days. When wind drives me off other places I tuck right down in there and use an e caller so I have all the volume I can get. Move down wind and do it again. Best call in those conditions is pup distress, I think because the coyotes are used to denning down in there. As long as your half clean don’t worry and call downwind, that heavy wind gets blown in every direction in the gumbos. As long as I have close to an 80 yard field of fire down in there I’m happy, they will come right in.
It’s easy to write this being I live it, I hope my descriptions are understandable.

Thanks for the tips. This area is quite a ways from where I usually hunt so I don't get there often and the top of the butte is is the only parking spot where I can successfully hide my vehicle. Next time I'm there i will try hiking down to the bottoms and see how it goes.

The infamous Redfrog once passed on some good advise: No matter how tempting it is, don’t stick your head over a coulee and look down into the bottom. Call from above and draw them up. He’s the grand master so don’t shoot the messenger if you disagree
