Report: I went to Zaleski this morning to scout for turkeys and do a little coyote calling (my first time ever). I wasn't taking the coyote calling too seriously but I did 4 stands for about 20 mins each. I didn't see any. I saw some footprints next to a creek and 2 piles of scat with a lot of hair in each.
Questions: Since this was my first time I was flying blind (except what I've learned from this forum! Thanks, btw!!). Does Zaleski have a huntable population of coyotes? I walked about 2 miles across the tops of ridges and set up every half mile or so. I was using cottontail call from about 9:30 to noon. Is this about right? I didn't have a lot of confidence in mysellf yet so I want to get someone's quick take on my morning just so I don't get too frustrated second guessing everyting I do.
By the way, I didn't see or hear any turkey or see any sign. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
