Hello everyone.  My name is Pat Lageman.  I grew up in St. Louis, MO, joined theArmy after high school, spent 20 years as an Army helicopter pilot and retired at Ft. Campbell in 1995.  I now live in Hopkinsville, KY and have worked for the city since I retired.  I will be married to the same patient woman for 27 years in May and we have 24 year old twin sons.

I fish a little, backpack some and hang out at a place I have on the lake.  I have hunted off and on since I was a kid, and am fortunate to have hunted moose in Alaska, prairie dogs in Colorado, roe deer in Germany and whitetails here in Kentucky.

I started hunting again last deer season after laying out for a few years.  I am a novice coyote hunter. I went out for the first time on New Years day.  I've been out several times since with no success but I'm having alot of fun. I'll be out again this weekend hoping to call in my first one.

I found this forum while reading about the LBL hunt on easterncoyotes.com.  I live only about 45 minutes from the Wrangler campground at LBL and was hoping to come to this years hunt to learn from some experienced and successful coyote hunters how its properly done.

If its open to rookies and its not to late to get in, I'd like to come and meet some of you and maybe pick your brains a little.  In any event I look forward to learning what I can from this and other sites.

Take care.


I tried to put this on the "Tell Us About You" tab, but I timed out before I posted it and had to do it all over.  Seems like I messed it up.  Sorry about that.
