Was wondering about taking my Hawken's Woodsman 50cal out for coyotes sometime but wasn't sure if anyone had ever used it for predator control before.
Any tips or advise?

Ha, I kind of like the Woodpecker distress. !!! Maybe not for an hour. Mixing up the calls has worked for me. Maybe a wabbit for a while, raccoon, etc. Those wolves came in to a fawn in distress. One ran off, the other circled around behind me to get a whiff of my fine aroma. ! I haven't tried for bob-cat, that's probably a tough one as there probably are not a lot of them in any given area. Where I hunt the wolves are getting really really thick. I even saw two this last season only about 200 yards from my camp.That must've been exciting! Something I still haven't seen even though we have plenty of them here in Idaho. Heard them howling a few times though.
I've been trying to call in a bobcat for the last couple years, but haven't been successful yet. When calling for them I sit a minimum of an hour, folks that have done it say they will sit at the edge of cover a lot and tend to come in pretty slow sometimes. They also say that a bobcat will lose interest if the sound isn't kept up continuously. Is it just me or is non-stop woodpecker distress one of the most annoying sounds on the planet?
I've only shot one coyote and that was with a suppository rifle. I did kill a couple of bobcats with a muzzleloader, though. All these were while I was deer hunting.
I used to resemble that remark, and did the same, but got to wondering if I'd ever be able to wash that much blood off my hands.I shoot every coyote every opportunity I get with whatever weapon I have in my hands.
I have killed a coyote with a muzzleloader but it was a victim of opportunity for me. I was hunting deer at the time and he just showed up.
