<span>The coyote of the winter months of February and March isn’t exactly the same animal it was just a few months earlier...http://www.uplandgameadventures.com/?p=3925</span>

Neil,

Do you ever do any coyote hunting with a bow?

I haven't. I just have an AR .223. I have considered using a shotgun for very close range but it's just 1 extra gun to lug around in the snow.

I would probably consider using a bow.

How about you?

I've never hunted them with a bow, this will be my first attempt. Usually I use my .270, it works well and also keeps my gun dialed in for the longer range deer shots out west. I am going to try and get out next week some time, if I make it out I will let you know how it goes.

My first set of the contest had 2 coyotes running fast into my call 30 seconds. The first one I saw (only one I saw at that moment) had it 20 yards in and there I sat unprepared. I could have used a bow! I only had 2 shots as it ran through cattails and missed it still. That is when I noticed the 2nd dog running off to my left and I sailed a few hail marys at that one.
