went after the cantallope killer................................

[LBLDOG]

I have had some coyotes after my dads cantalopes and water melonsin his garden. My dad has actually seen one packing off a cantalope. I thought "what the heck" , Ill go, man was it hot 25 minutes before daylight this morning. I had forgotten the reason I dont bow hunt early (WOW ,the humidity) I managed to call 4 crows in and that was it! I still had a good time and getting out in the woods.  The watermelons had claw marks on them where the yotes was scrathing on them . the cantalopes would be half eaten about 40 yards from the garden.

Just a thought but trapping would work.  Up here they can go after carrots and I have seen them dig up entire rows of them.

I think one of those E-Callers has a melon in distress sound thats been perty productive.

Todd whispers  Actually, truth be known, it is really a recording of a pumpkin in distress being carved up into a jack-o-lantern for Halloween   

Ya might even get one of these fine custom call fellas to tune a call to match that sound, but come to think of it, now that its been mentioned, someone is probably already working on marketing one.  :roflmao:

I know just how to make that particular call...........
Really though.........I would try taking a melon an smashing it against a tree and rubbing it all over the tree as high as I could reach to get the scent into the air good. Then just wait

I bet Telle Tubby already has a melon in distress call. He warped the red amphibian in the head and it sounded like a melon being thumped. Then all he had to do is mimic the sound.
