Thanks Rich very informative and well written. I appreciate your efforts. Lights are on, water is clear as a mountain spring. It is time to go play! Thank you again Rich.
MTO, I e-mailed Kevin after receiving my calls He recommended in cold climates to get a piece of ½ plastic tubing from the hardware store and put over the call to prevent the call from sticking to your lip. I don’t see it being too big of a problem for me. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Krusty, Cdog sums it up a lot better than I could have. Had I summed it up it would have been pertinent to me and my experience with answers to questions I had in the back of my mind. Probably wouldn’t be pertinent to you.
This past Saturday night a buddy and I went out west with our howlers...
Thanks Rich H that helps logically explain some of my experiences that were responsible for turning me off on howling.
In your experience will a yip-howl from a single call work nearly as well as a group yip-howl for locating? I don’t always have a buddy along and I really don’t want to get...
There used to be a small contest in Central Utah, put on by a local merchant. I attended the second annual hunt; and every other after that except one year I had to go watch the Celtics get whooped by the Jazz because the tickets I received as a gift conflicted with the hunt. (I probably...
Crow Woman, Loved the book, read it cover to cover. Sorry this post is late coming I have been a little busy. LOL I’m looking forward to your next book as well.
These kind of questions always make me look at what I do and try to figure out why I do them the way I do. I have always thought I was trying to appeal to the coyote’s instincts. I haven’t found the magic button to push that will work every time or even most times. I have had a day or two...
Crow Woman, whose call I missed Sunday afternoon, btw you have mail. Seldom Ever, and Cdog911, Kevin K-Kalls, and I’m looking forward to shaking 1_pointer’s hand sometime Monday.

I don’t relocate them. They migrated in or were transplanted by someone. The pheasant and duck populations have taken a pretty good hit because of them. The reason I use a live trap is so if I catch the neighbors cat I can let it go unharmed.
I was out having a smoke and remembered that my...
There have been years that I only got one dinner with fresh corn on the cob due to those ring-tailed-bandits. I bought one of those live traps like No Shoes is talking about and have caught as many as three coons at a time, bated with sardines. Make sure that the cage is flat and the bait is...

“Copperheads are the poison named most often here,they give no warning,they just bite!”
That is exactly why I like it out west. I like a little warning if they are around.
I agree, Krusty the mouth of the shaft would require crawling to get inside and I’m not too comfortable with that. The area and time of year it was it could have been filled with BUZZ WORMS too.

Sounds like a great time. I have only been to Boise a time or two and I spent most of my time in town. The whole time I was driving up there I wanted to pull over and let out a howl just to see if anything was moving.
The thing that got me interested in customs is simply this. When I hit a dry-spell I end up blaming the call, and digging out a box of calls that have been evicted from the lanyard. I’m usually reminded why they got evicted in the first place. LOL
I admire these guys that build their own...
It might be interesting to do that. Take the camera and take some pics. From what I could see the mineshaft didn’t appear to be reinforced to well. I guess I’m getting old. LOL
