Yesterday morning while I was turkey hunting, a coyote came out of nowhere and attacked my decoy. I was hunting with my bow which was in my lap as I was using my pot call. As soon as I saw the coyote, I set down the call as quickly and quietly as I could so I could get my bow up. He moved so fast to the decoy I had no chance. He knocked the jake decoy right off the stand and took off, obviously startled.
I decided to set up on a different tree today and was glad I did. If i was on my other spot, he would have run right at me and possibly attacked me out of fright. I have since gone back to the shotgun and will be keeping #4 buckshot close at hand. Maybe even in the tube after my turkey load.
Here is where need advice. Using a shotgun, where do I need to place the shot? Head or heart/lung?
