Close coyote hunting

[Nulle]

Eastern part of South Dakota has the roads every mile but out here in the Western section you can go for a long ways without finding one. Roads don't bother them around this area at all. Last weekend I had a yote 200 yards off the main road at 2pm and he just looked at me. There are always tracks along and on the roads.
Havn't done much calling this year with the mountain lions roaming around and when I get out again I will take my hand gun for a possible close encounter.
I call about 20 min tops and then move on. Most of mine have come in on a dead run but with the rabbit population hitting a high this year they may come in slower.
