Hunting with HaMeR and Bill

[Frogman]

Today (Saturday 3/14/09) I got to join Bill and HaMeR for a coyote hunt near their homes in OH.  Since my son Scott lives not too far away in Canton OH I went up and stayed at his place on Friday evening.  Up early this morning at 5:45 AM.  Met HaMeR near Dover OH and then picked up Bill at his house.  We had a nice breakfast at a diner in West Lafayette OH then proceeded on to Coneville (i think??) Public Hunting area.  We did five stands through the morning and early afternoon.  It was a perfect day for hunting, started off cool in the low 30s then warmed up into the upper 40s.  Winds were light and variable.  Here in the East we have to put up with frequently shifting winds.  Here are some of my photos . . .

Here is Bill at our first stand this morning . . .



HaMeR at the first stand . . .



On this stand I had the Scorpion placed out this haul road about 50 yards.  Bill set up covering the right side of the road and Glen covered down over the left side while I watched up the road. 



We started with some howls with the mouth calls then went to some distress sounds on the Scorpion.  Finished with "pup in distress" sounds.

Here Glen and Bill are planning our next stand . . .



I had a fun time getting out and spending time with these two great guys.  It was a beautiful day to be out in the woods.  Our only success was getting the geese to honk, the crows all fired up, and some  local dogs to barking.  Of course any day out is a successful day far as I'm concerned.  Thanks for having me up guys.  Hope to see some of your photos too!

I left my camera in the truck. I was only there to carry Bill's rifle while he drug his coyote.    I never got to carry his rifle tho.    But we tried.

Thanks for hauling us around Jim!! We'll give em hell again soon Bill!!

Noticed HaMer and Bill still had their face mask on did you make them keep them on the whole time Frogman? Also noticed Bill is still using his snow camo face mask?

We didn't want to scare anyone Rich

Sounds like you had fun and all so it wasn't a waste.  I have a hard time imagining setting up in all that timber.  What the sam hill is that on Bill just about where the belt buckle should be?  Kinda/sorta looks like a monkey face to me.
