Clever, W@W, but unkind. It's not nice to mock the afflicted. Bear in mind you and I will be hunting together again in the future. You will carry a camera and I will carry a loaded gun. Just a thought.
Tonto say--"That imposter. Not real 'Masked Man'. That Rapper 'Dances with Coyotes'. They do duet for "Who Let the Dogs Out"'
Man who post as Rich Cronk also imposter. No call Rich Higgins Butthead or Smart Alec... no real Rich Cronk.
Dan55---Although unstated, the implied question was, considering the increasing densities and the hightened competition for food, would coyotes react by coming to a dinner bell (a call) quicker? It would seem that they would also become more protective on thier territory and quicker to react to...
As I mentioned earlier Dr. Camenzind identified 9 vocalizations and I prefer his descriptions and the context in which each is used more than those of other researchers. I believe his description of the function of each is too minimal but I do understand that he cannot allow conjecture to...
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Well Rich, I found it applicable because, as with any species, the numerical volume of critters in any given land area, will define to some exent what the competition for food is like and how likely dogs are to reply when called...
Slydog, you are very welcome and as always I thank Cdog for his input. Our own Hemingway and Roark. I wish you were right about Scottsdale litter sizes but 2-4 is all I've been seeing this year.
Lance, I've read of the 19 pups in the shared den as well. The largest litter I've heard of was 17 taken from a den in Colorado. The bitch had 17 placental scars.
Hi Pup. The longest transient journey I have read of was 246 miles by an ear tagged short yearling. Must have been very hard times because time of dispersal and distance traveled are usually determined by availibility and desireability of habitat and population density. If food is in short...
Rob, I still don't have the Slim Pederson book. I didn't list Marc Bekoff's book because I categorize it in research and studies, but it is a must have for anyone interested in learning about the coyote. If I remember correctly it was either you or Lance {CDog) that turned me on to it.
Hey Ronnie, those big guys are good protectors, I'm surprised he didn't double back when you turned off after the females and pups. When we bring them in with Mattie on stand they decoy her away and it's back and forth as she chases them and returns to me. Keeps them in front of us for long...
Moosie, cool post. I've been doing some reading and understand the relaxed attitudes on this board now. Delw made considerable effort to smooth ruffled feathers, that's cool too.
Doug, I don't believe I whined about Del's posts but did take offense at one of them that was disparaging and humiliating to the new guys of whom I am one. An administrator is a representative of the board and should reflect the values, standards and philosophy of the board. Anytime DelW posts...
