Finally called in my first coyote, but missed! Got out early a couple weeks ago, set up against a big rock and put the caller about 30 yards out. About 20 minutes into the calling sequence I spot a yote from the corner of my eye, he actually came from behind us, but was far enough away he didn't wind us or see us. The dog got all the way up on the call/decoy. I had my 870 with me and had my bead right on his chest, I have a 28 inch barrel with a Carlson coyote choke. I fired. The dog jumped back and then took off running my brother and I fired off about 6 more shots, but missed the moving target. I still can't believe I missed, I had my bead right on his chest! 30 yards away! It seems like I shot right between his legs without hitting anything. Nonetheless it was still an awesome feeling seeing that dog come in, I'm officially hooked. We managed to call in another on the third stand that day but it hung about 200 yards out and all we had were shotguns. I will be investing in a rifle as soon as my finances allow it.
