Aktion, I do understand the desire for close encounters. The most exciting and some of the funniest stories all come from calling them in close. It is, however, the hard way to actually bag them in my opinion.
When I look back on it, I think most of the coyotes that got closer than 20 yards managed to escape in the ensuing exitement and confusion. Kind of like "The Keystone Cops Go Coyote Hunting" episodes. We never carry shotguns like the real close encounter guys advise. If we spot them on their way in at typical rifle distances, we most often connect.
