Today went out to make a few stands, was really cold here about -25C, with a wind blowing as well. I took my 2yr old Blue Lacy decoy dog out,as I am training her. Well I put the scorpion caller in the tree and began useing the jackrabbit distress call. I waited about 5-9 min then used the coyote death cry. I just started that and chola the lacy, gave a short bark. I knew something was up, so I just turned a bit to the left and this nice male coyote came bounding out right towards the call, he was jumping 2 feet in the air. Just then chola started out after the coyote and he saw her coming at him full bore. The yote began to run and then stopped but chola kept going full speed ahead, right over a little knoll. All of a sudden,I could hear this terrible dog fight ensue.It actually was pretty bad, but I couldn't see it because of the knoll. I then high tailed it over to where I heard the fight going on. I had all sorts of visions of my dog laying there hurt or worse!As I approached the spot, I could see chola with her tail straight up in the air, and following the coyote tracks, running back and forth searching for the coyote. I can't tell you how relieved I was to see her OK. I was pretty proud of her as she seemed to hold her own. But from now on I will have her on a bit of a short line, to hold her as she is a little too aggressive, and you don't know how many coyotes are waiting. Even though I didn't get the coyote, I had a great day, to see chola at work, and isn't that what it is all about!!
