Just want too say that I dont hold hard feelings to you guys on here. In fact I really really enjoy posting on here and communicating with alot of you guys.. I get fired up easily, and when how I kill my coyotes, or personal stabs are made at my calling partner, who is also like a dad to me, and has been for years, I am going to get worked up. everytime..
Marty and I go way back, to the days when I was eight years old and bright eyed and bushy tailed to kill some coyotes!.. Marty had a son (Luke) who was also my age. Every weekend he took us along with him hunting.. Be it deer, coyotes, or fishing walleye!. We loved it, and Luke and I were like brothers.. Whatever we needed, Marty made sure we had it, Luke and I grew up together, and became very close.. Marty luke and I had a great thing going, we loved spending time with each other, and we loved hunting!
I dont want to even guess the amount of hours Marty spent with us. He could have went with his buddies, and had allot more success, but it was all about Luke and I. I cant even express the respect I have for him.
Luke died in a car wreck when he was 16. My life, martys life, and many others were turned upside down. I can remember sitting in my room for a week straight, not knowing were I would turn. That winter Marty and I decided we dedicate our next full season to Luke, we would hunt harder, longer, smarter. Thats what Luke would have wanted!
Since that time Its been nothing but coyotes for marty and I. He taught me everything I know. and at 19 yrs old. I feel like I can go out on any given day and kill five or more coyotes. Without Marty and Luke I bet I wouldnt even be hunting today.. He is the only guy I hunt with, and I dont respect anyone more..
When shots are made at him, by people who dont even know half the story im going to get fired up. I would never like to be told those words to my face, I dont know how I would handle it..
Coyote hunting to us is almost beyond hobby, its more like a way of life. We eat, sleep, breath it.. We put all of our free time hours into it.. We call the same coyotes everyone else is dealt, were not on a secluded planet with fluffy coyotes around every corner, a guy has to work for his stripes just like every other guy.. Ive had plenty of guys question me on how we kill so much fur. Again, I get fired up, as It hurts to hear someone say that to you, after you put so much blood sweat and time into killing them coming to a call.. Just this morning I killed five coyotes, and saw two groups snowmobiling them. those guys kills 30 a day.. Its tough to see, but a guy has to persevere.. The five I killed were after about 10 miles of walking, and some frozen fingers!.. I get very fired up over it, I speak whats on my mind.. That not always a good thing on the internet.
I always enjoyed posting, as I felt it helped out alot of guys, and maybe was just an enjoyable read to the more seasoned callers.. Lately it just seems im getting more grief than anything else..
I never mean to come off as "cocky" or arrogant.. I just know what we are capable of, and what can be accomplished through lots and lots of hardwork. I guess some guys just dont like to hear it..
I enjoyed my time here!.. And I enjoyed the majority
. My hopes and dreams are to produce a ground breaking calling DVD.. It will definately take some time.. But I just cant wait to get after it!
The plan was to meet the furbuyer with the load of coyotes, winds were 5 mph and it was cold! I had to postpone, and add more to the pile
