Danny, I don't know about you for sure, but I am sure they will be darn glad to see me go. Who was it that said, you and I are so old we started out as "Club Hunters." I like that. We need to buy that boy a beer or two.
At our age, we both consider living in the fast lane, is going through...
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>I've said it before (several times, in all likelyhood) but it bears repeating; we use predator calls to summon our quarry to a modest range so that we can kill it neatly, and we do so by taking advantage of the fact that the predator wants to eat whatever it is that...
I think it is important for a person starting out, to learn how to use the hand calls. Yes, it is nice to use the E-callers, and I think the two go hand in hand. What are you going to do if you drive for two hours and your batteries have gone south?
Also, you can work a coyote with a hand...
I really like the high pitched sounds; especially those I can make on a Crit-R-Call Pee Wee or Standard.
Take care.

I shoot a Savage in 22-250 with a new trigger job and cheap Tasco scope.
What will be my next purchase? Whatever they have in the "here after", because I will die shooting this one. I only need one rifle.
And don't let anyone tell you what caliber to shoot. You shoot whatever you want -...
Patience, Patience, and more Patience. Always show some patience. Let that coyote come closer before you take the shot. Just sit and watch that coyote, and after a few trips, you will really start to learn how that coyote will react. There could always be a second coyote bringing up the rear...
Bala, this past December, Tim Behle and I were on our first stand of the morning, and we had 9 coyotes come in. The first one I saw, came running from my right to left and I whacked him. Tim never fired a shot, and neither did I after the first one. They were coming from all directions, and...
OK, let us put a different twist on this subject. How come you can stand in the back of your truck at night, and call coyotes, fox, and bobcat, right up to the truck?
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>How many stands do you make during a day of hard hunting? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
It is impossible for me to come up with an exact number, because I am doing different things. I drive a 1986 Chevy Submarine that gets 10 miles to the gallon, up hill, down hill, or shot...
....that depends on several scenarios. The key is the front coyote. My goal would be to shoot the 2nd coyote. As long as the 1st coyote is not spooked and keeps looking back, the 2nd coyote will come forward.
You have to size up the situation with both coyotes. If possible, wait on the 2nd...
Again, I have to agree with Danny 100% Since we both suffer horribly from "old age syndrome", it only makes sense not to get to far from the truck.
However, I really agree with Loco about hiding the truck. That is my number one concern when going to a stand. I will drive 30 minutes longer...

Should you happen to see such a thing, rest assured, tis not me!
I tried the "ladder thing" a few times, and actually liked using it. We have so much low brush here, that an extra 2-3 feet of elevation provides a + advantage in seeing the coyotes coming to the call.
Packing the...
I suppose before any of the "Airedalers" get their shorts in a wad over my comments, I should say it is only in fun. I think it was Tim that coined the phrase "Airdorks", and I about fell out of my chair the first time I heard it. Do I like "Airedales"? No I do not. Do I like any dog on the...
Here is a good tip, but it takes a little practise, and that is learn to slowly turn your head to the left or right when you hear a noise. Of course, when that noise is coming up from the rear, I still want to break and run. Ya know, every time I see a bicyclist with those neat looking rear...
