have quite an impact on me.

I had started calling in AZ, learned a bit about it & called & killed some critters.

then I lost my job, couldn't find work for months. Finally ended up here, in AL.

Lots of good hunting here, but it's costly. Not a lot of public land. Most private land is leased & lease rates went from high to insane.

So my hunting has sucked. Hard to stay fired up when you don't have a place to hunt.

After a week in the desert calling, meeting new people, having fun, I got the bug again.

Now I need to finish getting a calling rifle, learn to call on an open reed call, etc.

Access for calling predators is a lot easier than access for deer. I think we should be able to get out & do this much more often & easier. Am going to make the effort, any way.

Need to polish my calling skills before next year's hunt

Yeah, Stu, after the deer season is over you should be able to find some places that are glad to have you come out and take some coyotes.

All that public land could spoil a person though.

I also need tall sticks & a ghillie

This crap is addictive...

Stu,

Get on YouTube and key in 'predator calling'. There's a zillion instructionals on there.

Catch ya' later.

I gotta get my speakers working again & do that. I think it's nothing more than one of my cats pulling the plug on them...

land access to hunt is a work in progress, but looks promising right now.

Stu,on the Ghille Suit, contact Jerry at Rancho Safari. After I got to see Barry's set up in NM I came home and order'ed mine the next day. Got the suit about 10 days later (jerry built it custom for me) without a doubt, TOP shelf quality, Great Ghille.
Ken

yep, that's the one I want. will have to wait a bit to make room in the budget but they're worth it.

I know where you can get a great rifle at a good price.

GO FOR IT STU!!!!!!

Man, I'd LOVE to have one of Scott's rifles. They're just above my reach financially this year.

Maybe I can win one somehow next year...

I'll get one of the ghilles before next winter. playing with calls now. It's just about time to stop shooting & call for fun for a while.
