Red Bird hunt

[HaMeR]

What a time!! I sure missed out on meeting a few of the good folks here. I wish Jimmie in Ky the best over there. It's good to know Semp is doing better too. And too bad ol Bopeye didn't make it. I guess that's 3 reasons to try to make it next year now.    I had a lot more fun than I expected which is hard to believe. Everybody there made me feel like a seasoned veteran of many LBL hunts/get togethers even tho this was my 1st. I even managed to wade thru all the BS & get a tidbit or 2 of good info about coyotes from these fellas.    The terrain was rugged as you've seen in other threads already. But beautiful it was. Spring & fall would be a great time to be there for the scenery. Might have to think about that one. The accomodations were top flight as well. The lodge restaurant had very good food & the price was right.

Enough of the boring stuff. Let's see what the camera has to show. 

Beautiful place to be.


Gramps & Kurtis walking back after a stand.


Free range cattle feeder.


Looks like Al & Frogman were hunting over the feeder for a cow elk.  :roflmao:


Yothuntr, Rich & Kasey.


Here's Pat. He just got done teaching Kurtis everything he knows about coyotes. He looks so proud to be able to pass on his vast amount of knowledge to our youth doesn't he??  :roflmao: :roflmao:  There's weedwalker Ed soaking up the knowledge & wisdom as well.    Sorry Pat. This was just one of those "I gotta do this" pictures you know. 


What a view!! 5 mountain tops out across there.  If you look right above the "02" in the date you can see 2 trees standing taller than the rest. My coyote came out just above them. 


Sure is a purdy dog. 


He was a heavy fella. There is a nice black 2" tip on his tail too. He had enough black on him that when LinemanSteve saw him flip after the shot he thought I shot a black coyote. That woulda been cool but I'll take this fella too. 


Here's Frogman addressing the crowd. He is giving a seminar on coyote hunting. The crowd is totally engrossed.     :roflmao: :roflmao:  Sorry Jim!! When I seen this Saturday night I just had to do this. 


Here's Kurtis taking a picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of me.      Kurtis is a good boy. He didn't want to leave. I was glad to have him along & sure hope I made a new Friend in him. Thanks for coming along Kurtis. I hope we can do the hunt again next year together. 


And last but not least. I'm not sure what I did to win this award. Hell I don't even know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!!  :roflmao: Thanks BITE ME!! Bopeye!! Whatever it takes to win the 1st annual Bopeye Bite Me Award I'm sure I did.    With the crowd that hangs out here it's gonna be tough to repeat next year. 


Thanks for looking!!

Glen,
    I'm glad you came.  I enjoyed talking with you and Bill and Kurtis.  Good shooting on your coyote, it's still a real kick to get one down isn't it!!

Hi Jim. It was a pleasure being there. I had a lot of fun too. It's always a blast to pull down on anything. But it's especially fun on a coyote. 
Mike-- Thank You for skinning that coyote for me on such a short notice. I certainly appreciated it & I can't tell you enough just how much. It meant a tremendous amount to me. THANK YOU!!    And I'm sorry I forgot to mention you in the above story. 

[Frogman]

Glen,
     Hope your coyote hide gets a propper tanning!  That's a nice coyote!

[vvarmitr]

  WTG Glen!!!!
When I was reading t'is morning no one said anything about you getting one. Then talking to Bill tonight he said you got one.
So did ya burn 'im w/ the Fireball or sub caliber club him w/ the 204? 

[alscalls]

We skinned it for him.so if he dont know where he hit it I will tell ya............

[KySongDog]

Glad everyone had a great time.      Lookin' forward to seein' ya next year, HaMeR!   

[Bopeye]

You and that call just suit each other Hamer. 

Just remember, if "you can read it, then heed it." 

[HaMeR]

Mike-- You're Welcome. It was a lot of fun & I hope you can make it next year too.

VV-- Yep I got me one!! If I would be any good at this gig I would have seen the other one & waited a few seconds for it to come out for Steve to crack.    I didn't have the FireBall with me. I two O floored him at 50-60yds. Caught him in the ribs on the right & punched thru the shoulder on the opposite side. He spun & flipped twice & that was it. Then I heard the 2nd one busting down thru the brush to my left. 

Semp-- Sure woulda been nice to meet up with you but I understand. I hope you're doing better now!! 

Bopeye--         :roflmao: :roflmao:  Thanks Bop!! I hope things are better next year for ya!! See you then. 

[HaMeR]

Got my dog back today.
