Did you use hand calls or E callers? Did you see any or hear any yotes that night?

You are going to have to get them in close to get them with a shotgun.

One tip I've read about is to keep the coyote in the Light's Halo and used a rheostat to keep the light at low level until you are ready to shoot. They amp up the light to full power and pull the trigger. Just keep the main part of the light pointed up at the sky and only allow the edge (halo) part of the light to show the coyotes eyes at night.

In INDIANA you must have a white light shining that's visible 500 ft away at all times while hunting at night for coyotes.

I have read that coyotes are much braver at night than during the day.

I used both, it's definitely different than going early morning or late afternoon. Had one to challenge us from a distance, but that was the only vocal we heard. There will be a learning curve involved that's for sure. I'm thinking maybe a little less calling the next time out.
Would expect this winter, assuming its as harsh as predicted to make calling anytime a little more productive. Good luck to those that give it a try and report back when you can, we can learn from one another's experiences.
