Nice! This thread makes me want to get the calls out and shoot a few.
I've been seeing two on my way to work at least once a week. Haven't been out calling at all though. The mosquitoes are awful here right now. Plus those dang flies that bite so hard it feels like they have teeth. I can't stand having stuff crawl across my face or bite me when I'm trying to sit still. As soon as it starts getting colder I'll be back out there shootin some.

A little trench :-)
He was digging when I initially saw him. I was at the feeder swapping cards. I was 200 yds away.
He’d stopped to look around, his eyes reflected the light.
I couldn’t find him right away in the scope after I’d spotted him. I’d also relocated to get a better shot angle.
After I saw his eyes, I clicked light on high and watched him digging. He stopped digging and I squeezed off my shot.
The light reflected in the smoke after the shot and washed the scope out.
I have 2 possible reasons for that shot placement.
He was quartering away when I choose to shoot.
1) I was a tad high
2) I was right on and he’d went back to digging

I've done my fair share of night huntin in Texas and 200 yards at night is a pretty long ways no matter how you look at it. Not only that but it's a heck of a lot easier to miss a coyote than people think. I've made a few pretty good shots on them but I've been overly confident and missed some that should have been a chip shot. Kinda funny how that works sometimes.

I saw a young one the other day that I could have shot really easy. I had the .22mag and it stopped about 55 yards from me. That sucker was so new to the world he wasn't even worried about me. I didn't go ahead and shoot it. I have permission to hunt there so I'm gonna hold off and call it in when its cold outside and it's fur is a little thicker. It'll end up contributing to this thread.
