I'm such a killjoy...
The first time I saw a coyote we were hunting near Mexia on my grandfather's place. I was about 10 years old and it came running out of the woods not five yards from me, froze in its tracks, and just stared at me. I thought it was one of the neighbors dogs so I didn't shoot it and actually said, "hey, boy". It took off running like greased lightning.
When my dad came by to pick me up, I told him about it. He looked at me and said, "you dumbass, that was a coyote!"
I've let a lot of them walk past me over the years, simply because I thought it would ruin my chances at deer for that particular hunt if I shot them.
In all my years in the woods, I've seen dozens of coyotes, three bobcats, and about four foxes.
Hogs never get a pass.

Funny you should say that.........
He hasn’t started that thread yet.
Congrats on the yote. Did your son get a turkey?
I went this morning, heard on gobble on the roost and never heard him again.
I did punish a hog though for gathering with more than 5 friends. There were 40 or so and the wind was just right. Closed the distance to about 25 yards before dropping one. The guy whose property I hunted took some photos, just waiting for him to send over.
I called in a mountain lion once. Had my back to a wash, the banks were about 5 feet high on my side but only about 2.5 feet across from me showing just my head and shoulders but the sun was almost down behind me so I was in a shadow....thought i was the master cammo hunter lol, and it actually came from behind me and jumped over my head and landed 15 feet in front of me creeping up on the decoy. I yelled it pissed itself running away and my shorts were mostly clean afterwords. I was done predator calling for the evening.
Got my first coyote on a ranch outside of Monahans when I was 7, in 1950. We were shooting prairie dogs out of the seismograph crew’s Dodge Power Wagon and Dad had just handed me his .218 Bee for the next shot when the coyote showed up about 100 yards away. Got a sight picture in that 4x and squeezed, just like he said ... bingo.
