Boys it was great I can't believe i done it today i took some very, very good advice and bought a hand caller the long range deluxe lohman rabbit in distress blowed on it a few times and told my buddy we were fixin to call in a coyote more or less just shootin my mouth off. We waited untill about 5:30pm and set out for the condo stand(a 3X4 box with a roof on it which sits on one side of a hill watching the other side of the hill and the valley below). We drove within 100 yards of the stand got out of the truck crossed a four strand fence and strutted across the hill to the stand about fifty yards me in my blue jeans and white t-shirt with the sleeves out of it and my buddy withhis blue jeans and his red cutoff t-shirt , we both had camo caps on though. as we walked to the stand i noticed the wind was in our face, couldn't have been a better situation, except the heat. since coyote season is not in here we decided to make the hunt more realistic by carring a red ryder bb gun not expecting to really see a coyote. when we got in the stand I read the instructions on the package and I blowed as hard as i could. I mean the awfullest noise you ever heard came out of that call. thought I was gonna scare off all the game within one mile of the place got another breath and done it again and again then my buddy said "here he comes" which of course i thought he was joking with me i wailed on the call again a little softer this time and my buddy said "no really here he comes right in front of you" then I seen him about 200 yards away on the other side of the valley. My heart almost exploded! when I called he would move and stop when i would stop I was so excited I could feel the stand shaking. as the yote moved to the bottom of the valley and out of site i reduced my volume to low and tried to direct the sound to the left of us. When he disapeared I told my buddy to get his gun up and he did. I softly called and their he was come up 25 yards right in front of us. He stopped and started looking around I said shoot him and my buddy shot that little bb gun no doubt missing by a mile "like it matters" that dog took out of thier like nobodys business so I barked and howled a couple of times and squeeled a little just to see what would happen i stoped and asked my buddy if he could believe this and then the dog already out of site but only 75-100 yards away barked and howled too. I couldnt believe my ears he done it again and again with us sittin there talkin he stayed out of site but kept barkin. Does this happen often ? Why did he do this? Did I do the right thing by barkin and howlin? This trip was unbelieveable I loved it and I am definatley hooked. And I definately introduced someone else to the thrill. and I mean a thrill!!!! Now I know this won't happen every time but when things work out like they did today it will definatly make up for the dry spells!!! I want to thank the men who responded to my questions in this forum and to this forum for being so great and helpful to us rookies maybe just maybe i'm one step closer to becoming a predator Master! never know but I will surely work on it!!! Good calling and thanks to everyone I will get back to yall because i know im to excited to remember all the details thanks again!!!
