    Were you calling them in, or have you just got one with luck.

    I wish I did, but haven't. I was with my wife this year when she killed one with a bow. It was her 1st coyote, so it's at the taxidermist right now. It had a nice light colored coat. I did get my 1st bobcat with a bow this year though, which is also at the taxidermist.

    I shot one late season bow hunting a few years ago. Squeaked him in from about 60 yards.

    I shot one with a killzone this year. First one I seen all year and I got him to stop and nailed him. Huge blood trail.

    I've shot 2 with a bow. They just came by as I was in a tree. Double lunged both of them. I was surprised at how far they run after being hit.
    I've killed a bunch of 'em calling though just not with a bow.

    Shot this pretty coyote in the dark from my deer stand in early January. Came down the creek bank at 10yards, double lung/heart with a Rage hypodermic. Ran 15yds and rolled over but not much blood at all. At the taxidermist now getting tanned

    I've killed 5 w/ a bow over the past 7 years. Every one was just a target of opportunity that came close enough while I was deer hunting.

    I do a lot of calling in late winter and early spring, and from my experiences it would be very, VERY tough to call one into archery range and get a good shot.

    I have shot several while bowhunting that walked by my tree, I have only killed one that I called in and it happened in late summer while mowing grass. Saw a black yote about four hundred yards, jumped off the mower grabbed my caller and 223 and called her in with a doe in distress call. Wearing shorts and tennis shoes no camo.

    20140110_180317 (2).jpg While deer hunting I saw this guy at about 100 yards in a field. Just did one squeek with my mouth on my hand. He came in and gave me a 20 yard broadside shot. I gave him a Grim Reaper, he went 15 yards and drowned in the creek. 40 lbs soaking wet.

    I shot one this past deer season. Came in on a string from 80 yds and I never made a single call. He stopped 10 yds under my stand and I let him have it

    I've shot two yotes with my bow. An almost black one 3 years ago from my stand and one from the ground at 10 yards about 10 years ago. Wish I had taken pics.

    I've shot quite a few. Not sure on the exact amount. Between 10-15. Most from a tree stand but I have called in and killed 4 with my bow
