I decided to get out and make a day of calling Monday. The wind had been crazy all day Sunday and I figured that the coyotes would be out moving. I drove 10 min from the house for the first set, it was just getting light, I made the quick hike from the pickup, and set up over looking a frozen dam with brush around it, The neighbors cows were hunkered down in the draw over the hill. I started with a tricky distress sound that I am growing quite fond of. At the 8 min, mark a big pale bugger came loping over the hill to my right, I waited for him to hit a little tall grass so I could swing my sticks. I barked him to a stop at 140yds and a NBT to the neck convinced him to stay for breakfast. He was a whopper, definatly the biggest of the year so far.
I made one more dry set in a super awesome area that I will try again soon. I headed home to feed my calves and do my other chores as I was supposed to meet up with a buddy at noon to call the rest of the day.
We decided to give up an hour of calling and haul a$$ to a new area we had never called before. We were just about to where we wanted to make the first set and I spotted a dog leaving the county on my side of the truck, turns out the mirror makes a really nice rest and I let the smoke pole bark. SWEET No. two was in the truck. I love freebies!!(We weren't on a county rd by the way)
The next set I played a little sick bunny and was finishing the set with Pup in D, the call said 18 min and I was getting ready to move on when a hard charger came screaming over the hill from the left, he got 80yds out and my bud barked, I sent another NBT down his throat...so then there were three.
We made two more dry stands and had time for one more before dark. We set up on a really steep hill over looking a big creek below..I'm thinking, Oh this is gonna work I'm grining at my buddy, he looks at me and says, "whats wrong with you" I smile and say just be ready I think this one is gonna be quick. I start off with a little Lighting Jack and within seconds have a big yote running right towards us. I muted the caller and the dog stopped my buddies rifle barked and the bullet hit him right in the chest, he had enough gas to make a run for the creek and I got another pill in him to roll him up for good. NO. 4 is down and we call it a day. Thought I would share.
