Jean-Henri,
It's nice to see you get up from your coyote meat dinner to bust my chops again! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
At no point did I say "here's what I have done in the PAST!!!"
I said what I would do "if and when" the situation arises... which I am sorry to say Musky, "it has not"...
Does this mean the information I have
repeated here is of no value? I don't think so. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
I am a good student, and even though I do not get out hunting often enough, it does not take away the fact that I have studied hard and absorbed a lot of this information.
So much so that it really seems to irk some people around here... I suppose Jean-Henri probably threw spit balls at the smart kid in class too.
Lance,
I did say GENERALLY... I didn't mean everyone
has to do that... and yes my toes hurt!
Once again I thought it would be helpful if I were to repeat what I have learned. And in my Knight & Hale instructional video they suggest doing just that, driving and locating... I am sorry if I have spread any misinformation, I was just trying to help Musky out.
Why would I locator howl the night before?
To see if any coyotes are there AT ALL... I recently drove a seven mile section of road we hunt along... wondering if there even were any coyotes there.
We stopped the truck every quarter to half mile, howling numerous times at each stop and waiting for awhile for an answer.
None ever came, so I too am wondering about the validity of loaction howling at all... or maybe there aren't any coyotes there.
I know, now, to concentrate on other areas where coyotes seem to be, because they do answer the howl.
I am not an expert, but I NEVER claimed to be one... I guess I'll just shut up now, and leave the disinformation to you oh so polite experts!!!
Jeff
