"For all spot and stalker's " Just some thing I was thinking about?
- Thread starter New_Coyote
- Start date
Well they were out in full force this morning. Saw 4 coyote and a herd of fox, 5 that is.
Dad called and said he thought he saw a couple coyotes along the highway on his way to work so after i dropped my girl off at school and then worked over where he saw them. N oticed a ball about 1/4 mile off the road, was a fox. Then noticed two playing right next to the road thinking they were the coyotes I drove towards them only for them to be fox also. While watching them saw two more out a ways also.
Ended up watching them for a half hour. Two sets of two would jump on each other with the lone one getting chased away. They were making some sounds that sounded kind of like a fox distress on the foxpro, so i just set it on the roof and turned it on. 4 of them just sat there with one brave soul come running right to the pickup. Didn't have the heart to shoot them as they looked poorly furred, but did manage to get two coyotes after that.

HL, seen 6 coyotes early this am right south of felton. got 1 big male but made a bad shot and blew out the stomack. curled him up in the sleeping position about 350 yards out on a snowdrift
. got a real nice female about 2 miles west. on the way home from work, seen 2 reds out about 1/4 mile. snuck up to about 200 and got them both
shot the female first and the male only ran about 20 feet and stopped to look back at her........ bad mistake

Well the me and my buddy hit roads again two days ago we went 90 miles and spotted 4 fox.. It was a sweet day..
Well the first fox got away
Here we thought we had a great plan to get this little red ball Boy were we wrong!! LOL..
My buddy maid the sneak and he got close but the fox had a little hill that he used to spot my buddy SNEAKY SNEAKY Mr.Fox...
Well my buddy did get two ok shots at the fox but no luck that fox got away far and square LOL
Well Fox #2 was not so lucky..
My buddy and I thought of the best plan for this one and it worked out very well I would say
I was going to stay in the truck and watch and video and he was going to sneak and a long way sneak..
Well it did not take long and he was in range like 60 yard range LOL..
The video did not work it was to far but I did get to watch the hole this pan down BOOOM SLAP!! One dead fox that is for sure..
This is the only pic I have but I will say it a head shot.
The other two fox we spotted was on are way home we did not get to go in after them do to no land owners be home and my buddy having to pick up his kids from daycare early..
I did mark them on the gps and was hoping to go after them today but no luck on that do to heavy heavy fog GRRR lucky lucky fox's!!

Pic of the red is here to New!
left at daylight this morning for a 1/2 day of stalking but it did'nt turn out that way. was driving down a no mainenance road and a coyote was just standing out there begging to be shot. i obliged
. that don't happen very often. than i drove by a cornfield that had fresh scat around so i figgered i'd try calling but i left my calls at home. i searched the truck and found an old crapper that sounds more like a dying duck than a rabbit but figgered i;d try it. 2 minutes in here come 2 in. nailed em both but both had horrible fur.curled em up in a sleeping position on a snowdrift specifically for HunterLee to put a stalk on
next i seen a coyote out at the mile mark going into a brushy creek bed. i let it be for awhile and than parked and made a 3/4 mile walk with NO SNOWSHOES
. only broke through a few times. got to a great vantage point and blew on the crappy call and here he (she) comes on a string. nailed her. woulda been a decent fur but it looked like she already had a zing mark across her back the was pretty ugly. called 1 more spot and had 2 coming but a train came by at the wrong time and they turned and walked off. did not see one fox
. not a bad day for minnesota.
We found a coyote laying out behind a building site yesterday, watched it for bit but thinking it may be a dead one, turned out to be alive, but my old mans rifle was shooting real low- like feet low and he blew the shot after a very easy stalk, but we did get both of them and another yesterday.

Well I went back yesterday and seen if the male and female were there and they were not by there hole.. Bummer!
Im guessing it had to do with the wind picking up and the snow blowing all over heck that they were in there hole warm and cozy..
I check out two more spots on the way home and nothing!
, knowing what I know now about spot and stalking in my area I new my chances of see anything were slim to none do to weather so I headed back home and im glad I did cuz the wind picked up even more!
The weather man said nothing about high wind and blowing snow out there boy was he wrong!!! LOL
Well I was going to go out today but I seen winds from 10 to 15mph and clouds and 10 to 15 out so I stayed home bad weather for my area to stalk
That is all I got for an update for you all hope the weather warms up a little and the winds stay down some time this week..
But for the time being its back to ice fishing I guess
