I received a phone call from my neighbor this morning. The coyotes were howling like crazy at my house last night, and apparently his as well. He shot a coyote that was in his horse trap around Midnight. He said it ran off and wanted to know if I could come do some recovery work with the dogs.
It was 8am and loaded up Gunner and Crook. Crook is a lanky, young BMC that I've been training for Richard Payne. I never attempted a recovery that was 8 hours old, but thought I'd give the dogs a chance.
The point of impact was right where he described to me. Good blood and knocked the crap out of him....literally.
The dogs got a good snoot full of the impact area, marked their territory. It didn't take 2-3 minutes for Gunner and Crook to find the coyote. They picked the track up and followed it like a string. It had gone a couple hundred yards and laid up in a bush.
Posing with their prize.
I loaded up the coyote, gave them some good pats on the head, then we went and checked traps. I was proud of them, working a track that old and finding it.
Gunner loaded right up, but Crook stood there scanning for coyotes. Thought I'd snap one more photo of him.
Thought I'd share.
