It works

[Jerry Hunsley]

very nice story. Reminds me of when my two boys were that age. Mine were four yrs. apart and I took them hunting and fishintg all the time. They still hunt and fish. Take plenty of pictures as when they get older they will want to look through all of them. Your country looks similar to where I live in the Dakotas. You got yourself some fine young men and you have them started right. If only more Dad's would spend more time with their children.

bnccont  my mother came to that school to teach and I guess I'm glad she did.  I think that was the reason for the education system out here to get "new blood" in the community.  Must have worked somewhat as there are very few banjo pickers here .

Had a landowner call me about geese he wants off on a 40 acre field [don't know why as he has 1500 acres of more valuable crop they will move to  ] so I went over for a look see this morning.  On the south side of this field is a long bush then an alfalfa field, south of this is a combined and baled wheat field.  I drove out in the wheat field and parked in a depression and walked up on top and sat by a bale[50 yds fro truck].  Blew a 12 second call on my new one from Alscalls


I'm sitting there watching the geese go by for 1 minute and 30 seconds when 2 coyotes come running out of the bush west of me and they stop 30 yards out to see if I'll shoot.



He found out the hard way and to show you how small he was



The second coyote ran behind another bale and then used that cover to run straight away out of sight the whole time except for a 10 foot stretch as he went in the trees.  The geese that were maybe 400 yards north didn't appear to mind my shooting the coyote at all.

I knew you would like that one........
Nice shooting too

Got up early yesterday morning and Donny and I went looking for some geese to hunt.  Went back to the field where I got the last coyote and parked just in the field off the road.  Sat there for 1/2 an hour watching the sun come up.  We were parked about 250 yds from where I shot the coyote.  Donny say's let's call another one and watch the geese from that bale[about 40 yds out]  So we grabbed the gun and went over to the bale [truck in full view] and settled in.  I kicked the remote caller in the butt and he said "ouch" then did a 10 second sequence.  37 seconds later my remote caller [waving like a Frenchman telling you how to fly]  whisper's THERE'S 2 COMING AROUND THE BUSH.  Sure enough around a bush 200 yds out come these two coyotes [looked like mom and the kid] in a race.  They came to about 70 yds when they stopped and I put the sights on the pup.  I gently squeezed the trigger and felt the familiar thump against my shoulder.  Donny asked "what the heck [edited] are you doing".  No bang,  I then took the safety off and tried again.



Watched geese for half an hour more and headed home as I had to spray 400 acres 30 miles north of home.  On the way home we encountered another large critter that we managed to dispatch and capture on film. 







Bigest dang skunk I've killed.  We were only about 1/2 a mile from home and I noticed a slight odor coming off Don .  Got home and jumped in my KW and headed off to work.  I just took off north and made it about a mile when my cell phone rang and it was the love of my life. She wanted to discuss my heritage, intelligence, dog houses and the fact she was never cooking for me again. I accidently hit the end button and continued on to spraying thinking she's young she'll get over it.

LOL!
Thanks for sharing that.
Nice play by play, very nice

I'm still chuckling over him shouldering that skunk :roflmao:

[KySongDog]

That is a GREAT story!   :roflmao:  Nice skunk.  I can't IMAGINE what the little lady was complaining about.    :roflmao:

[pitw]

Thanks to alscalls I can go fishing now.  Got home at dark last night only to have the loving lady say that a coyote had taken one of her old laying hens.  I was planning on leaving to go fishing today but she said "not until you do something about the coyotes.  I got the boat hooked up and truck packed then had Mandy drop me off 1/4 mile from the house.  I was sitting here



I took out the little call from Al and blew a very short series and 1 minute later I saw a coyote leaving the bush 400 yds away and heading in.  He had to cross a little valley so I couldn't see him but knew where he would top out on the hill so I was ready when he topped the hill at 135 yds and came to a stop.  I eased back on the trigger with my hole finger and Bang he fell out of site. 



Nice big dog weighed in at 36lbs and Amanda is going to open him up to see if he has any chicken parts in him.



Thanks for the great freebie call Al.  I can leave to go fishing now[probably was not the guilty one but the wife, Amanda and the boys can check the traps I set and shoot any that come in] so you all have a great day.
P.S.  Al can you build me another 3-4 of those calls that are small and sound good.

Had time for a 15 minute call on my way to a customer's today and used the little call once more.

I was sitting/standing behind the bale at the top of picture by the bush.  Blew a short sequence and looked to my left and he was already at 50 yard's.  Busted .  He ran over to this spot and stopped for a look see at what had spooked him.   Mistake.

[possumal]

Good deal, nice yote, good pictures. Thanks for sharing! 

[coyote101]
