RE: 07 Predator contest submission pics.
Nice work Howler!
I watched a movie till about midnight tonite, then I looked at and I could see a good mile. So I figured with it being this bright out, I better get out calling. I called in 2 my first stand, but I didn't see them quick enuf and they winded me. I managed to stop one at a guess of 350 yards (hard to tell when its not light out), and I missed it. He ran about 20 yards and I mouth howled at him, stopped again, missed again, and then I stopped him one more time, and missed again.
Hopefully the morning brings some better luck for me.

Thanks wyote, you got some pretty neat photos yourself.
Well HighDesert, I ended up hunting alone Sat. and Sun. and on Fridaymy shooters both missed coyotes. SO, no footage caught on filmlast weekend.
Come on Rammer, I was countin' on ya to to more points on the board. Not that I'm cheering for your team to beat mine, but someone has to put more pressure on#40fan.

Howler - I'm trying my damdest, its real tough calling here this year for some reason. I hunted from 9:30pm till 2:30am callling last nite, didn't see a single dog or even get one to answer me. I think I've learned my lesson, I've been keeping a coyote callin diary, and whenever there is a Southwest wind like last nite, its not good calling.

Finally had a chance to do some calling in my normal areas. I have been trying the last two weeks in other places with no luck. Found these two yesterday.
Good shooting there Howler.

Hang in there Rammer, as I'm sure you know how callin' has it's highs and lows, where a guy can get blanked a bunch and then all of a sudden the flood gates open and it seems almost easy all of a sudden.
No harm in trying new areas #40fan. I try to find at least one new area/ranch each year and am always trying to expand my "usual" stompin' grounds. Every now and then, those new areas quickly become your favorite spots. The three I got on Sunday all came in on three consecutive stands on this new ranch that I got on. Called in 4 on those three stands, so I have high hopes for the rest of this property.

Howler- I hope it gets better soon. I just loaded up 150 more 243 60gr Sierra HPs this evening. Then the fog rolled in wrecking my night of calling. I might pack it up an head to nebraske in the next few days if it doesn't get any better around here. Last year at this time I was close to 60dogs in my home area, this year I'm at 8 total. Something is the matter with it.....
