We had been fishing and the fishing was great but the biting was a mite slow.  Donny dang near made me jump out of the boat when he opened up with one of alpenliter's coyote call's [the brass 12 gauge I've been looking for].  10 minutes later I look up river and this critter was coming across towards us.  We thought you would like to see so I got a little closer and managed not to harass him [that would be illegal].

He did what all the rest do when they bust you.  He turned to run but couldn't outrun 90 ponies on a boat.

Yo Semp.  I had always heard that same crap about deer not crossing deep water, but that got shot down when my late brother and I watched a doe swim across Lake Eufaula at Cowikee Creek, about the widest place on the lake.  Dogs were chasing it and it didn't hesitate to swim the lake to get away from them.

Thats cool as all get out. I figured a yote would swim if it had enough reason to but I wouldnt think hunger or a distress call would do it.

I am gona grab one of those pics and make it a desktop back ground if ya dont mind.

Use 'em.  I would hate to say with 100% surity that it was the call but I've been fishing at this spot for the past 37 years and have seen moose, deer and one bear swim the river.  First coyote and right after Donny blows a series.   I'd have to say that's more than coincidence.  The river is the dirtiest I've seen it it this time of year.

That is so cool I wouldn't Even have thought to get pics.  :doh2: Have you thought about calling contests? I bet there aren't many professional callers that can top that. :holdon: Shouldn't this be under Fresh water fishing though?

You coulda put a loop in your anchor rope.
You'd be the only person I'm sure that had snared a coyote out in open water.  ;yes;

There's another coyote in the water in the October issue of Predator Extreme. (page 12)
A guy from Arizona snapped the picture on the Colorado River.

I think the canines are going amphibious on us. :laf:

Wow, that's unbelievable that thing came swimming out to you. Great job getting those pics without harrassing it.  I think I'd have had to get a little closer.

Nice pictures pitw.  But you do know that the coyotes down here in the SE corner of Az cross our rivers on a regular basis.  The only difference is that we don't have any water in our rivers...
