This evening I was out back working on the pool ladder while Zander was walkin around on the patio blowin his sceery howler and Kee's destroyer call. Low and behold a coyote appears in the fresh cut wheat field behind the house at about 175 yards with nose in the air and lookin for the sounds he had just heard. I told Zander to freeze while I snuck to the garage to get my rifle, when I got back to him the coyote had disapeared behind a hill. I told Zander to start blowin the Kees call again softly, after a series of calls the coyote trots out from behind the hill at about 80 yards and I put it down. My shot did not kill it instantly so Zander got to finish his coyote off with his 22 cricket. He is on cloud 9 tonight and really givin his older brother a good ribbin about him callin a coyote in before Thane has.
I'm proud of him, as he is only 6 years old, he handled the excitement of the coyote and me coaching him real well and coaxed the coyote in. I've got a couple of future coyote callers on my hands. Thane has been practicing his shooting and hopefully he can hit his first coyote this year yet!

Another good story from just this morning. My helper showed up this mornin, were standing at the garage BS'ing. He notices the farmer across the road just mowed the over grown weed field, I say's yeah, now I'll be able to see the coyotes in the field and as soon as I said that, a damn coyote trots over a knoll and begins mousing as If on cue!! We just stood there and watched it mouse it's way into the woods, now, If I have time this evening, Zander is goin to go over with me and try callin it in to the gun and camera.
Hey Bob, you may wanna look for a blind that resembles a garage too :innocentwhistle:
