The Tailgate / Re: Spot/stalking
Last post by Okanagan - November 11, 2024, 11:04:51 AMDescribe more about how you triangulate an animal at a distance. That's a hugely useful tool for spot and stalk, because when you get over near him, things look different and sometimes you're not sure exactly where he is. 
I use a combination of compass and landmarks to find a distant blood trail (maybe across a big canyon), a distant bedded animal, etc. Not sure but think it is similar.
Enjoy the stalking this winter!

The Tailgate / Spot/stalking
Last post by 1snafu - November 11, 2024, 06:11:10 AMFor roughly 15 yrs now or more. During road hunting. Looking for a fresh lion track. I've not spot/stalked a coyote. This Winter I plan to do a few. Take still pics/video of a sleeper from long range from the roadway. Then make a video of my stalk. Take some footage when I get up on one for the shot. Take a video/still pics from it's blindside, prior to the shot.
I've spot/stalked hundreds of coyote. I love it, when I can overcome their senses. A few stalks I've been less that 50' away from a sleeping coyote. A lot harder to do than most can imagine. I've been with 15' from a sleeper Red Fox. I've awakened them right before I killed them. To give them a chance to see me & escape the hammer.
When I've spotted a coyote or Red Fox from long range. I triangulate their coordinance. So I can sneak in from any angle from their 10:00-2:00 angle/(up & cross-wind from them). I'm well versed in triangulation & stalking. Not to brag, but I'm pretty damn good at it. We'll see how that all pans out. Once we get some quiet snow cover.
