Left the old woman at home

[John_NY]

I got out today alone "no old woman bitching"  and made a set about a mile behind a farm on the edge of a meadow,  It warmed up today and snow was melting with a light misty rain and no wind to speak of. I used one of my open reed calls and called for about a minute maybe a little less then just sat and waited. It took about 4 minutes and this fella came trotting  in. I have no idea what he weighs but he felt heavy, but then again I am getting old and arthritic.  He's pretty dark for this area. They are usually more gray.

Lesson learned, leave the old gal at home and enjoy my hunting.  So no ladies get mad, the Mrs. agrees.

Nice job, John!   

I like that coyote rack on the back of your car too.  Niiiccceee!    Do you get any looks while driving through McDonalds to get a burger?

Way to go John!!! That coyote sure does have a big tail.

My trunk is lined in plastic but I prefer them on the outside mainly so they don't get too warm and slip on me but it is fun to get looks especially from them tree huggers. I tried to find some cardboard to write on and put a tag "I hate car chasers" on him but just couldn't find anything.

Your wife couldn't stand to have fun like she did the last time?         Or was it that you really wanted to kill something that you could legally kill?

[HaMeR]

That is a nice coyote John. Way to go!! That red racing stripe on the trunk is over the top cool too!!!! 

[John_NY]

You're right on both Jerry. 

I just got in from the shop. I had my wife watch the scales because when I picked him up I couldn't see the scales. He came in at 45 pounds on the button. I just finished skinning him. He's gonna make one nice wallhanger. I was gonna mount him up but I think us taxidermists are like mechanics, we hate working on our own stuff.
