[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 474947, member: 1863"] Coyotes are very intellegent animals. Probably smarter than domestic dogs and they learn very fast. I call coyotes in late winter as a means to let me down easy from deer hunting. Medic is right about the calling. If you ever call a coyote in with say a rabbit call, and you either miss the shot or he sees / smells you, he will never be fooled by the same call again. He may fall for another type such as a yellow headed woodpecker or fawn in distress call.
