Deer season is a confusing time for predator hunters that deer hunt. We usually save coyotes until the snow flies, but it's hard when you see 3-4 every morning when you're scouting for management deer.
An early morning workout proved to be most advantageous. We get up early to lift before most of our hunts, it gets a good blood flow and allows us plenty of time to discuss a game plan for the day. We got a good 2+ hour work out in, and saw this coyote sleeping out on the alfalfa when the sun came up. Made a quick change from work-out to hunting clothes and made a break for it.
EVERYTHING was working against us, sun in our face, wind blowing directly towards him the entire stalk and the bright morning light caused the camera man to lose him for a second as he was coming in.
All-in-all, for an opportunistic hunt, rather than a planned calling session...I feel it was some great footage.
