Who ever said it has to be 20 degrees and miserable to have a successful coyote hunt? Today proved that not to always be true.
I was invited to a fellow fishing guide's property this AM to try to take out a few of the many coyotes that are eating up his domestic goose population.
He warned me that the grass is very high, but see if you can get one to come out anyhow.
No problem, I found a dirt service road that divided the property and set up on a fence line. I howled for about 4 minutes and waited to see what would come out on the road to take a peek. Nothing! After that, I switched to a call developed by FoxPro called "Lightening Jack". In 2 more minutes, down the road as if on cue, comes a male coyotes on a fast trot directly to my call. I simply reduced the volume on the e-caller and the coyote cooperated by slowing down to a walk. A "lip squeak" stopped him in his tracks and I dropped the hammer. The dawg dropped like a sack of potatoes and the hunt was over.
Guess what? I prefer to hunt coyotes in 55* weather any day of the year. 20* is a bit too brutal for this old caller, anyone agree with me?
