    In my mind, if coyotes don't care about light then I can use my headlight as a spot light, put my decoy xx yards out and my lantern kind of near it. Lantern illuminates decoy and I'm far back enough hidden out of vision. Am I wrong here?

    Great replies all, great advice too and I appreciate it. Question: trying to understand the hot/cold times, you can only hunt before/ up to 30 minutes of sunrise/subset respectively correct? Does that mean you can go out early and wait until then before calling etc? I did find what looked...

    Proving non-lead Ammunition

    Likely overthinking my first time try at hunting this weekend.. I picked up a box of non-lead super eco prius rounds for my rifle and noticed that it doesn't seem to have any significant differences from your standard lead ammunition. If a warden approaches me, how can I show proof that the...
