Well, got a little free time so I thought I would share some of the trip with you all.
We ran into some trouble getting to the airport Thursday and missed or flight out, so we didn't get to AZ till midday on Friday. We hunted Friday eve with Rich Higgins, then Sat morning with Bob Bogard, Sat eve with Randy Reeve and Sunday morning with Ray from PVHA. What a blast we had hunting with all these guys! Wish we could of hunted with everyone there but there just wasn't enough time. We sure enjoyed everything everyone done to make us feel at home!
The food! WOW! Randy Reeve cooked some shrimp and all the fixings on Friday night and Tim cooked breakfast every morning before every one headed out, he was up at 4:00am to take care of this, then fixed supper Sat night, steak, beans, onion rings, Buffalo turds! All I can say is these guys were awesome cooks! Great food!
Tim set us up with tents and camping gear, and Randy even gave us some pillows to use!
We spent every night around camp talking and having a blast! It was great to meet everyone and we sure enjoyed our selves!
We will be scheduling next years trip for sure! Every thing was layed back, we made a few stands in the morning then headed back to camp to shoot the bull and change partners, then back out for the eve hunt again.
Everyone was great, can you think of all the years of coyote calling in this camp?
Here is a few camp pic's........

Sorry Steve! Just could not help myself, you should of new better! :roflmao:
It was a great time! You can bet if the good lord is willing and the creek don't rise I will be there next year as well!
Good friends, good food, and coyotes are hard to beat!
Brent
Brent,
Nice pictures! Looks like it was fun had by all. I also recognize the area, makes me homesick!
Loren
Brent, Glad to have hunted with you and JD. I hope the skin turns out good. PM me a phone number, I would like to discuss something with ya.
For those that have not hunted with KeeKee, and JD, you have missed out on some fine calling. I saw a hawk try to take the call from his hand.
I wish we could have gotten JD to taste that Rattle smake. LOL, he didn't want anything to do with it.
I definately plan to make the next one. Randy
JD wouldn't try it????
eyyy we need some more details on that part :eyebrow:
Thanks Randy! I figured you like the hawk...lol...You had that look on your face when he finally turned, I was beginning to wonder if he was going to hit me...lol :eyebrownod:
I enjoyed the hunts as well. We need to do it again!
I though JD tried the snake! Whats up with that JD? :shck:
PM sent Randy!
Brent
JD was just like me. We both had chews in. LOL
Randy
ah c'mon :sneer: Even I'd been willing to spit out my Cope for a taste of that.
Randy, that was truely a fun afternoon of callin. I never knew a F-250 would do 120+ :yoyo: I also thought I was in a Sprint car sliding sideways around on the desert 2 tracks :yoyo:.
Now about the snake....RShaw, Criner and I was goin to divvy up all you guy's guns and stuff after the snake got ya's :eyebrow: :innocentwhistle:
There was no second guessing though when it came to the dirty rice and cajun boiled corn, sausage and fresh shrimp!!!
That was a great dinner. You ought to post a pic of that rig you have setup for traveling and hunting..it sure is sweet..
Excellent pics Brent, that camera takes some nice shots, especially capturing that egg bein shot !!
Criner got busted Ha Ha Ha :biggrin: Oh yeah Steve, Did you put a 5$ bill in my head net for the cigarettes??
JD
I agree 120 mph in a F-250 was awesome! And I agree if you travel with Randy you will slide some two tracks!!!!!!!!
You should of tried that snake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hahaha: Wimp :hahaha:
And that rig Randy has is just plain cool!
R Shaw....It was great to get to meet you! We still need to get out hunting!
Brent
You can't even spell (WHIMP)...HAHAHA :nono:
I hope the FX5 show's before Saturday...I'm wanting to make a couple stands this weekend....gotta try out the new shotgun!!
JD
Sounds like you guys had alot of fun. :congrats: Wish I could have made it :sad:,maybe next year.
Are you sure JD????????????????????
Rich,

Brent

Brent and JD
It was great meeting you two. It just didn't work out to hunt together. I was really looking forward to it and still am.
Randy
We will get it worked out Randy! We will be back out there in 5 weeks.
Maybe we can get all of us togeather up around Steve's and round up some coyotes this winter!
You can say SHIT Steve, we wont edit it....lol
Brent

Was I drinkin Steve? :confused: My ol'lady says the same thing... I never pay attention :shrug:
Missouri coyotes sound like fun!!!! When we doin it fellas?
JD
That's nice, looks like a good time.
I'm curious about a couple of your pictures, though.
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a195/RagnCajn61/150px-DoNotFeedTroll.png)
First I post a do not feed the troll symbol, then I Thought about it and have to feed him anyway. If your name is really Lou Stohls, then my hat is off to ya. Where are you from Lou. Have you ever met the guys you are attempting to stir here.
Let me give my perspective as a hunter that was allowed the privilege of staying in that camp. Yes they were 22 LR rounds. We were camped about a mile off the nearest road and all shots were directed to a mountainous range in the opposite direction of that road.. Care was taken to ensure that with every shot. Sure we may read about a poor Mexican crossing the border illegally that will be found with a knot on his head from a falling 27 grain piece of lead. I have been watching the CNN reports and as yet have not seen such an occurrence.
When My partner and I came in with the first of many coyotes, on the first day, they were not skinned. As I see Vic standing there, to be honest I was concerned. See, I had never met the man. I only knew him from the internet. I knew his feelings about skinning out and proper treatment of coyotes. As I studied the man, I became acutely aware of him as a real gentleman and one with Strong convictions. He is strongly against hunting coyotes when pups are in the den. He will defend that conviction. The internet is a poor way to read a man. There is no voice inflection. There is no looking a man in the eye and seeing him speak. Emoticons do a poor job of parlaying the feeling behind a post. See, even as you read this reply you can not see my clinched jaw and the determination in my fingers to get this right. If we were face to face you would better understand how this is coming across. I stood face to face with these guys and to a man I would count them as true hunters and sportsmen. On the flip side I see them as normal everyday joes that can have a good time. Play a few pranks and enjoy the prank whether they were the ones pulling it or the ones playing it.
Vic did not act as the coyote guardian at this campout. He let each man determine what he would do with the coyote, fox, bobcat, and even Rattle snake that man had taken.
If you have a personal vendetta against any one in those pictures I am sure they would be willing to meet up with you and discuss the situation. You might even com away from the meeting with a point of view you did not expect. They will have another campout next year about the same time. I am sure you would be welcome to come to it, Lou Stohls, and express your concerns.
I see this is your first post and am sure you logged on just to stir something up. Mission accomplished
The famous RedRawTbone from Arizona. Why does that name ring a bell with me :confused:
Dang it, by the time I had finished typing he had edited his post.
"I'm curious about a couple of your pictures, though.''
Maybe I can answer your questions?
Brent
:rolleye: some folks just ain't happy less there stirrin a pot that doesn't need stirred , that said I wish I coulda been there looks like a great time with some great people :biggrin:
First post, yeah, so ever-body gotta start somewhere. I see you only have 10.
RajnCjn, I wasn't out to stir the pot, believe it or not. Just didn't look right, that's all. Sorry for my opinion.
And like Jim says, it's just not worth it.
Edited to take out all the cuss words :eyebrownod:
JD
I get the distinct feeling that I missed something, but I know it had to be good. :wo:
I myself, believe it or not, have been accused of stirring things as well. Far be it from me to do anything of that nature. I will lend my assistance to any and all that needs it....even :hahaha: Canadians.... :huh: .............did I just say that? :confused:
Shit and i dont regret nothin......By the way Cajun you werent face to face with anyone......Your short like Brent,LMFAO over and over again......And also Opinions are like assholes.Everybody has one, Some of em just smell like shit though .
Hi Robb Krause! How are you? Your welcome to post (for now) Just wanted everyone to know who you were!
Brent
Ahhhhhhhhh man!......the loose stools should of gave that away :sneer:
Robb Krause? Hope you're not talking to me, my name's Lou.
Smelly opinion, that's cool. I just think it says a lot about a hunter if you repeatedly shoot a rifle into the air or think it's funny to drag a dead coyote behind a pickup.
Good Hunting!
You're right Lou! :eyebrow: It's a lot more fun to drag a live coyote behind a truck. :roflmao: They flip & flop like a gut shot cat. :roflmao: :laf: :eyebrownod:
:hahaha:

Ya just gotta love snares for that reason alone! :yoyo:
That's the ticket right there. Sometimes you got to run them a pretty good ways though.
Those little suckers can keep up for awhile........ :laf:
