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.  :yoyo:  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.  :laf:  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.  :biggrin:

Beautiful place to be.

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.  :yoyo:  Sorry Pat. This was just one of those "I gotta do this" pictures you know.  :laf:

What a view!! 5 mountain tops out across there.  :yoyo: 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.  :eyebrow:

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.  :yoyo:

Whatever it takes to win the 1st annual Bopeye Bite Me Award I'm sure I did.  :laf: :laf:  With the crowd that hangs out here it's gonna be tough to repeat next year.  :yoyo:

Jim

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.  :yoyo:
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!!  :yoyo:  And I'm sorry I forgot to mention you in the above story.  :wink:

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

 :yahoo: 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. :biggrin:

You and that call just suit each other Hamer.  :laf:

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

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.  :doh2:  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.  :doh2:

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

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

I remember it well......and I am sure Mike would too...... :laf:   :yoyo: :yoyo: :yoyo: :highclap: :highclap: :highclap:

 :yoyo:  done in by a .204 if memory serves!  :yoyo:

About darn time I thought you were keeping it from us  :laf:

Looks much smaller now  :shrug:

The cat's not sure what to make of the new addition. :laf:

Nice piece of fur.  Cat is probably thinking "am I next."

Yes it was a 204 with a 40gr Berger.  :yoyo:

That is the younger cat. the older cat just looks at it & walks away uninterested.  :laf:  And yes it does appear to have lost weight. Jimbo could probably explain exactly why that is.  :laf: :laf: 

John-- That really was a nice looking coyote. I thought he was anyhow. I really like all the black on his back.

Al-- Yes Mike would remember that one. A big THANKS to him & those that helped him that night.  :yoyo: :yoyo:

Good lookin fur HaMeR. :yoyo: I bet that crowd across the street watching Mike skin it remembers it too. :biggrin:
