Hey Byron, what eastern states did you hunt in "Calling in the East"?

Crapshoot,

Man thats funny!
-----------

Hmmmm, note to self /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif....Offer to buy Crapshoot's wabbit w/pancake on bean[wholesale of course]. Put remote-controlled shock collar on[flapjack wabbit]. Tie wabbit to little bush in open valley in CRP pasture. Located only in Marshall County Iowa.

Commence to zap wabbit, intermittedly. Bingo! A herd of coydogs, er....uh, wolveoytes, break out of timbered slough[from upwind of course]. Then commence to dump copious rds out of Charlene, at said covey-o-canines.

= Bingo, Awh den be a [fully-blowed coyote-caller]. What can call'em in anywheres. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Sorry George to have ruffled your feathers . I am not much better at getting my point across than you.

A lot has changed over the years since you and I started hunting anything! I went back to an area last year after just a couple of years absence to hunt it. I drove through and never looked back. All of the old travle lanes were blocked with a new house. More than a dozen of them in just three years. Where one bedding thicket once stood was a new house of at least 3000 square feet. Also four new chicken barns sitting smack in the middle of what was once an overgrown field where coyotes once moused. All of it gone .

All the old landowners are dying . Their farms being broken up and sold at auction to speculators for a quick dollar. Habitat is shrinking and human pressure is growing faster than I can keep up with it.This is what is making the eastern coyote so much diferent than his western cousin.

Much of the west is in the governments hands. It's land with nothing the human race wants yet so it is left alone just as it was a hundred years ago.There are coyotes using the same territorial markers their ancestors did a hundred years ago.

These are why the diferences George. And I have no idea of how we can change what is going on for future generations to be able to enjoy the shooting sports we love so much today. Jimmie
 
See that river starts in the northern Colorado and emptying into the Gulf of California right?

Jay you do know that the continental divide is a imaginary line right??

Sorry George, if I had known it was a private conversation between just you and Byron, I never would have intruded. I must have been thinking along the lines of Jimmie, that the purpose of the video was to better understand the eastern coyote so as to hunt him successfully. I totally missed the point.

Of this entire post, crapshoot, you're the winner with that pic and the timing! Ya'll know what we say about a cluster like this in southeast Missouri?

George,

Come on, you are having fun picking on Byron but all there really is, is a difference of opinion.

It might be time to slack off and accept that Byron has a lot to teach those who want to know how to hunt pressured coyotes who live in populated areas, even if it is in Texas. I'll just bet that a lot of it will work in PA...

How about it??? Time to let this rest?

Jay,

You can feel free to keep razzing Byron.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
We have the largest black bear in the world (quote]
George
I like the exchange of little digs between experienced hunters. A lot of useful information can be found between the lines of wit. The above quote however caught my eye - as we are blessed with a very large black bear population many of which have been weighed by both hunters and wildlife personal between 600 lbs and 700 lbs - how large are the black bears in your area ?
 
I think after all this , the title got changed to "Callin' in the thick stuff" Which I think was a good idea. There's nothing that can be called misleading by anyone.

Not trying to start a scuffle, just answering yer question, would have to do more research myself to see if they rate amongst the largest /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

This quote is from the PGC about the 2003 harvest

Quote:
In 2003, hunters took three bears - one eventually was determined to have been taken illegally - with estimated live weights exceeding 800 pounds. The largest was an 864-pound male taken in Dingman Township, Pike County, by Douglas Kristiansen of Milford.




I dont know much about records etc etc
I know personally a local took 1 over the 600lb mark

That was great /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I'm not sure what to say, or If I should say anything at all.
Being from PA and calling fox for 17 years and coyotes for about 14, I can agree with some of what Hern is saying and alot of what George A. is saying.
I have met and listened to alot of predator "callers", bought and watched MANY videos, bought and listened to a half dozen or so cassette tapes. I listen to the info and take what I need and try to apply it here in the east. I mostly watch the videos to study how coyotes respond to the call and their reactions "coming to the call". I don't mean to put anyone down here, BUT calling in the east is different. I met,spoke with, and listen to Sheri B. give seminars, I saw her pictures and like Hern said they were taken out of a deer stand. Nothing wrong with that its just not the same as calling them in.
In the early 90's I met Dennis Kirk and listen to one of his "Calling the eastern coyote" seminars. He did'nt tell me anything I did'nt already know and all the pictures and videos he showed were from out west. It was very informative and he was very helpful. It was great if your just starting out.
And does anyone remember Tom Bechdel ??? Need I say anymore. I met him this past fall. He came to Cabelas to do a seminar, but he was a week late, I did not realize who it was untill after he left and I looked at his card. This guys almost as elusive as the eastern coyotes. I thought he was in hiding but he is working for Knight&Hale.

Byron,
Just for the record, I have no problem with you or your video. I hope it sells well for you. I will buy it no matter what title it has.
If you ever come up to PA for any footage or just hunting let me know. I have a cabin in Pike Co. LOTS of woods and lots of dogs.

-Aaron
