David it's about 130 yard to back of the field. She stopped right there. Even without her collar she rarely leaves the yard. She was back in field in a few seconds.

Thanks Paul, looks your dog ain't scared one bit!

Just sharing a couple of photos at my bait site lately. As you can see, I need to cut the grass. At least there's some activity still. He just
traveled the field border but didn't come down the hill to the bait site. I painted a camera mount and he may have smelled the paint.








Here is the camera mount, made from 2x2's. The wing nut allows the arm to move the camera up or down, and the camera rotates on the rest, so I
can adjust it to any position. I placed a roof over it to keep the rain and sun off. I suspect the coyote smelled the paint.










I operate three cameras at the site. Two are regular cameras set to video, and the other is a cell camera mounted in a walnut tree. This view is from
one of the regular cameras further down the hill.

Week she's really a wuss. That coyote has been a regular visitor and she chased it twice that day. She's tough in her yard and rarely leaves. She hits the brakes at the edge of that little field where I bait them. She is another indicator when coyotes are in the area.

Looks like a lot has been going on. This male has been visiting a couple of times this week. Last night we made the connection at the "Diner."

This male coyote showed up earlier this week on my bait pile. I decided to take him with the Sightmark Wraith Mini. I did not use my rifle mounted IR light. The 850nm IR mounted on the back of my shop gave enough light for the shot. It was a heart shot with angled pass through. As usual, heart shot coyotes run, and this one made it about 25 yds. and fell in a field ditch. I was shooting the 6x45, affectionately named "The Parvo" with a 58 gr. V-max.

Good view with only the shop light.

Owen, is that actually a “hill”? Tehe. Thanks

Thanks O6, I had intended to turn the rifle mounted light on which gives a much better picture, but he was acting a little too spooky. I'm pretty sure he was smelling where I had changed batteries and cards on the cameras earlier.

You might call it a hill for this area! It's a berm around my pond. That reminds me of once when I was out in Wyoming and a local there in Dubois asked me how I liked their river, "The Wind River". While the entire area is postcard beautiful, I had to tell him the truth, so I said well where I come from we wouldn't call this a river. To which he replied, "Well, what would you call it then?" I said we would probably call it a stream, but some people would call it a ditch. Just how big are the rivers where you live then? I said well, One of the rivers "the Neuse" is about 7 miles across at the mouth, and another one, "the Pamlico" is about the same. He looked at me like I was the biggest liar he had ever seen, and quickly left the scene.

Nice shooting DU. I like that Wraith video with the remote IR's firing up. Looks like he had a bad feeling about your neighborhood.

Fine shot DU, I would have thought he was gone when he disappeared for a bit. Good patience on the shot.

Nice shot. Way to be patient for the right shot too!

It's been pretty quiet here with the baitiers. My turkey population has taken a hit as of late and I decided to take action. I had heard from a reliable source that chicken works, and it did.

video tonight

Oh yeah, good to see it working for you. Slow here but I'm surrounded by head-high corn.

On another note, did Gobblergetter post anything this year? Kind of concerned something may have happened to her.

My old computer has finally give up the ghost. It won't recognize any of the 3 USB ports or the SD card slot. I used it to get my videos produced to Youtube. Now I need a program to put on my windows 10 computer. All I need is something real easy to use, like movie maker was. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Last post I can find on the gobblergetter was 3-16-22.
