While judging the IPC contest, patroling for teams and keep an eye on things, I had time to sneak away for one quick stands. It was quite a hike to get into position on these already vocal coyotes, but it only took about 2 minutes to get one to close the distance from 400 yards to 15 yards. It was exciting and made good video.

Good goin, I called one up Friday morning, came to a challenge howl. Got him up to about 125yds. and gave me a perfect shot. Drilled him in the chest, big tuft of fur, let out a bloodcurddleing scream, and off he went. I kept on calling, but nothing. Watched him go for 800yds or so, did'nt think he would have made it that far, but he did. Got up, and went after him, good blood trail in the snow. Had to be two miles almost. Could'nt go any more, he made it into a subdivision, no way he's still alive, but would have been nice to get a pic. The shot must have been to one side or another, man they are a tough damn animal.

Keep after them yodeldog! I can hardly keep my eyes open... been running so ragged with the contest this weekend. I've made two stands in 4 days, thats the laziest pace I've pushed since December.

I'll recouperate tomorrow and get out there after them by midweek. Looks like 65/70 degree temps with thunderstormshere onTuesday and Wednesday. Might have to travel a few hundred mile north for some decent calling conditions.



TO DATE: 20 days left!

I took my dads business partner calling today for the first time in his life (50 years old). First stand on his property called in apair to about 60 yards, I got on the back one about 80 yards, and told him to take a shot. He shot and I dumped the back coyote. Then proceeded to shoot 15 more times at the coyote that he missed, never touched a hair on it. The sad thing is I forgot my cellphone in my pickup, and my camera. SO no picture proof of the kill.

We made 4 more stands after that without a sighting.

I can see that I need to accidently loose the video camera, or find someone else to carry and run the darn thing. Jrb is getting out of hand![&:]
I did finally get to carry a rifle on Sat. but in tough callin' country didn't do much in cutting into the lead. BUT one more is one more at this point. Called in a pair that came just perfect, but could only get the one on the ground. She had mange on her legs, but the rest of her looked fine.

Pretty good weekend for me, other than two flats on the Jeep. Had to borrow my father-in-laws pickup on Saturday when my spare that was on the Jeep went flat.

One Friday night, four Saturday.

Just a little would be nice. But, what the hell. It is all just for fun anyways. Granted, putting the smack down on team 2 would put a big smile on my face!

Well... no padding the lead tonight. Set my alarm for midnight and discovered that the weatherman missed the windage by a good 10mph. It's gusting to 25 out there right now, probably no hunting until Thursday since this weather system has moved in. Record high temps (mid 70's), high winds and thunderstorms are predicted thru Thursday.

Had time to calculate predators taken since 10/15/08. I sit at 79 right now, my calls and my kills. Not sure 21 moreis possible before my season ends on 3/15/09 but it'd sure be nice to break 100! I have pinpointed a couple easy coyotes. Might be a while before I can get to them though.
