Red Bird hunt

HaMeR · February 09, 2009, 08:23:52 AM

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

What a view!! 5 mountain tops out across there.

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.

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.

Here's Kurtis taking a picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of me.

Kurtis is a good boy. He didn't want to leave. I was glad to have him along & sure hope I made a new Friend in him. Thanks for coming along Kurtis. I hope we can do the hunt again next year together.

With the crowd that hangs out here it's gonna be tough to repeat next year.

Glen,
I'm glad you came. I enjoyed talking with you and Bill and Kurtis. Good shooting on your coyote, it's still a real kick to get one down isn't it!!

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.

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!!

And I'm sorry I forgot to mention you in the above story.

Frogman · February 09, 2009, 09:56:08 AM

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

Jim

Bopeye · February 09, 2009, 10:01:03 PM

You and that call just suit each other Hamer.

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

HaMeR · February 10, 2009, 07:13:56 AM

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.

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.

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

Bopeye--

:roflmao: :roflmao: Thanks Bop!! I hope things are better next year for ya!! See you then.
