6 more dogs bite the dust!

Well, once again made it out for another day and a half of calling, and had some good results.. Ill give the play by play along with some pics as best as I can remember.. 
Started the day off fairly early and headed to a spot that I shot a coyote at last week.. We parked the truck and walked a couple hundred yards into position.. I set the foxpro in a tree and got into position.. Marty covered the north side of the stand, while I laid prone with my bi-pod out, and covered the rest of the cooly (sp) . I started off with some rabbit distress and began looking for any interested coyotes.. seven minutes in I turn to my left and see two coyotes not 100 yards away hanging up on a knoll looking right my way, i mute the call, whirl my bi-pod and shoot the lead dog in the neck.. He makes a mad dash for the brush and the second coyotes narrowly escapes our volley of gun fire.. A short tracking job later marty finds the coyote and we have our first for the day.
always nice to get one on the first set.. (the picture might look the same as last week, this is because it was taken in the exact same spot, just with a new victim this time! 
..
We make a few more stands with no takers and decide to get set up on a pasture that had a dead cow in the middle.. we get the wind in our face and stalk in towards the cow to start calling.. As we reach him we see there are 3 coyotes ripping at the old carcass.. We belly crawl 50 yards and get into PERFECT position totally undetected.. Marty squeaks on his call and thats all it took, they were coming!.. at around 400 yards both coyotes stop, look behind them, and take off running hard.. 10 seconds later the farmer drives over the hill feeding his cows.. just our luck!.. oh well.
next stand we set up overlooking a brushy draw. I start the call and immediately a coyote starts leaving out on us.. I take a shot at around 250 yards and hit him.. another coyote pops out at 300 yards and we were unable to connect.. Marty actually sent a bullet right in between his ears very close.. I thought I hit the first coyote perfect, i tracked the coyote a long ways through deep brush.. I was able to find real good blood but i never found the coyote, could not believe it.. oh well..
After that stand we try a few more spots with no takers, We decide to head to a spot were marty took a double last week and see If we can do it again
..
We Get set up in the same spot as the previous week, and I start the call, after twenty minutes of calling we are about ready to leave when we both spot a dog coming up the draw, mart lets him get nice and close and takes him out. I hit the ki-yi and another dogs comes charging our way, I was thinking "o ya another double" .. The coyote drops behind a hill and we never saw him again.. I go and retrieve the dog and let me tell you.. he was BIG.. we ended with 3 kills, and two of which we were able to recover..
Good day. ( same spot we took the pictures last week )
Sunday - We get an early start to the morning and head in the same general direction as we did saturday, first stand I put out the fox-pro as we are overlooking a huge valley with a stock pond and lots of trees mixed in.. 10 minutes into calling a coyotes comes from my left covering some serious territory, when he gets to 200 yards I hear marty start blowing on his hand call 100 yards from me.... He must see a different coyote coming!!.. with the electronic going on low volume, and marty blowing on his hand call, the coyote in front of me doesnt know what to think.! He died shortly after.... .. It turns out marty had a 3 legged coyote coming on his side of the draw, and he just wasnt quick enough with his nub leg and all ..
( got a picture of this one after the next stand)
Next stand we set up overlooking a huge valley with us sitting in a harvested wheat field.. I blare the call and ten minutes in a two coyotes come up the draw in front of us.. Marty, sensing they will catch our wind lung shoots the lead dog.. I quickly hit ki-yi and the next dog charges back in!! I we Both shoot simultaneously ( this seems to happen alot with us ) Marty hits him in the chest and my bullet hits him square in the head.. He didnt fare up to well .. another double for us.
We tried a few more stand and the wind came up real bad.. We headed back to town with 3 dogs down by noon.. A real good half day of calling.. We need to find a cameraman, I think we could capture some pretty sweet footage
)
Hope you all enjoyed.. Hopefully can put a few more down before deer season starts
