Did you miss us?
Jeff and I got our camera out of the shop yesterday evening and had a little making up to do. We decided to do some calling in North Texas today and get a little different terrain for some diversity in volume II. We got alot of compliments on doing this in volume I and we figured if its not broke dont fix it. We called in some heavily wooded areas that is a far cry from the scurb brush of West Texas. Today it worked out pretty well for us. The first coyote we called up was in a very wooded flat in a creek bottom. You dont get alot of footage, but if you play your cards right you can get some exciting action on film. This one worked out well. This big male showed up 2 minutes in and ended up about 10 yards from the FoxPro and Predator Supreme.
We hadnt anticipated calling that area, but we had to make some adjustments to play the wind. All we had were rifles and it can be tough to get a clean shot in the thick stuff. Jeff did a nice job getting this yote on the ground.
Later in the evening we called a large hay field. It was about 400 yards deep and about 800 yards long. We set out the call and the decoy and used a row of hay bales to break up our outline and provide concealment. About 5 minutes in I noticed something at the far end of the field. More like a dot at 800 yards. The dot broke out into a run and headed strait fot the caller and decoy. 3 minutes later we have a large male at 50 yards staring a hole in our decoy. He took his time and checked up 5 times but he finally got he nerve to eat that screaming little furball. Here is the coyote on the way in. He is about 100 yards on a dead run.
He checked up one last time at about 20 yards from the decoy and just couldnt figure it out. He was an old scared up Male, we love teaching old dogs new tricks. We tought him how to roll over and play dead, he was a good actor.
Here is a hero pic. We took 3 coyotes in all but one had mange pretty bad so she is not pictured.
It sure feels good to be back in the saddle again. Hopefully we wont have any more camara problems.
Hope you enjoy,
Todd
