Feel proud you deserve too .  Excellent story and I really wish I'd been there to share it with you but you made a great post so I was there anyway .

Great job on the story.  I have to admit that I saw the post yesterday and skipped it thinking that you were calling the coyotes - dogs.  I am one of the few that don't think of coyotes as dogs even though I know they are related.  More the ugly step relatives to dogs.  Anyway, hunting with hounds is a whole different situation.  I have read some of the stories of greyhounds and other speed dogs being used where there are open lands and some of the trailing hounds where there isn't any open areas.  It sure sounds like fun.

Thanks guys.... i bragged it out all day today... Jerry we use trail dogs and drive around and try to get ahead of the yote... its a heck of a time... id much rather do both calling or run the hounds its all fun...
