Called in first 3 LBL yotes of the season!

[sdLBLhunter]

Went out for the first coyote hunt of the season in LBL Tues.  On the 5th setup me and a buddy finally struck pay dirt as we called in 3 coyotes within about 60 yards....just shy of shotty range  .  Unfortunately they caught wind of a small herd of deer that we jumped out of a thicket 10 minutes prior and headed off following them.  I tried to a mouse squeak when they got up close, and did a short distress.  They headed off nose to the ground though....  Regardless, I consider calling in 3 yotes in a hunt a success in LBL.

Anyone have any ideas how I could have turned those yotes after they got on the deer?  Also, JimmyinKY...where are ya man??

Sorry you didn't get a chance to hear the gun go off sd.

I's here hoss. Not much more you could have done with those animals. If the kiss of death didn't budge them , your screwed. Why they do things like that no one knows. If you think that was agravating try spending 3 hours calling one off grasshoppers.

I take it you boys had time to play between classes. I am getting blown off the hill cutting firewood today. Winds are supposed to be better tommorow. May take off up there myself it they are. Jimmie

I assume you were using mouth calls, as you didn't mention an ecaller.  In any event, I would have used fawn or doe distress after seeing those deer earlier.  I have had that work several times.  At least you had some success. Good hunting to ya!

Hey jimmy, maybe meet up and make a couple sets together if you're going to be up there?  I'll be getting out there around 1 tomorrow for an afternoon hunt.  I would appreciate the opportunity to learn a few things from ya if you would be so willing.  If you can, post a time and a place to meet and I'll check this board tomorrow before I head out.

Oh yeah, and I recognized one of the dogs.  Remember a light colored yote from last year that ran up on us with his eyes about as big as cannon balls?  If I had a rifle he was dead

Things were sort of dry here so I caught up some on this pile of leaves scattered all over the yard while it was, I say was dry. Not dry now and still have several windrows of leaves out there.Makes a man think real hard about cutting down some of his shade. Haven't checked the weather yet for th weekend. Jimmie

I don't think this affects the LBL but....Kaintuckee's late muzzleloader season comes in Saturday.

Yeah, LBL is straight bow season from here on out I'm pretty sure.  I went out this afternoon and hunted the bottomland just behind Energy lake for nearly 3 hours.  I walked FOREVER and a day and saw/heard nothing.  I ended up scooting around to Jenny Ridge Road and called up something that left in a hurry (prolly a bedded down deer I spooked...)  I did shoot two squirrels in transition though...nice fat red fox squirrels  .  I'll be out there all day saturday and possibly all day sunday depending on the weather....hope it stays cold!!!!

[Jimmie in Ky]

No more deer gun seasons for the LBL this winter, all bow hunters. That is the reason we are limited to shotgun and rimfire until february. Might be a chance to stay dry saturday but not sure about sunday.  Sounds like sunday might be a good day to get caught up on sleep. Supposed to be cloudy with a chance of rain all weekend. Good tracking weather.

Going saturday since there is only 30 % chance of rain. Looks like the best chance for several days.  wiil pm my cell number. Jimmie
