Good day coyote calling.

You're definitely in a dog rich area. The bounties a couple years ago reduced the numbers here considerably but they are rebounding back quickly since the cancellation of the bounty. What do you use for calling and what sounds do you typically use? I use both mouth blown and e-caller as does my hunting partner but to date I have only brought in one coyote to the call. Obviously my technique needs some improving in figuring out which sounds to use, when and for how long?

Frank have you tried blowing into the other end of the call? ;)
 
Yeah man, another good job.

Its good to get out early before the snow for sure.

All the land I have permission on is all in the shotgun/archery zone which I cant go in until Dec 8th, which sucks... I was thinking of going for a drive in a different zone to see if I can pick up some other land to go in until then.

cheers
 
In the interest of effiency I recruited Yoteboy and his wonder winch.





Rifles are a Gaillard stainless Remington short with Gaillard barrel, snow camo McMillan Rem hunter, bolt bushed in and out by Lincatis, 4.5-14 LR with Varmintor, chambered in .204 and 788 in 222 wearing a McMillan Edge stock.

In other news, the second childhood is progressing nicely.

 
I see your getting the hang of waking at the crack of dawn these days DL, thanks for the updates.The furs are looking pretty full too.Trust the Fourier is paying well.
Does one turn them in several at a time or do they go all at once ?
Not sure how the buying/Selma of hides goes ..assuming your a small fur trader kinda guy.
Thanks Again for sharing your success.

My plan is to get a batch ready for the first NAFA auction, and let the chips fall where they may. Or is that let the fur fly where it may?

Fur here is practically a cottage industry, esp when it comes to coyotes. Anyone can shoot one, and some can do it without blowing it to smithereens. Of those, a surprisingly small percentage can, or ever have skinned one. When it gets cold, eliminate everyone who doesn't have a place to thaw, skin, put up and dry them. Of those few that are left, the odd one with nothing better to do will see it as a opportunity to buy frozen round yotes, put them up and gamble on making a buck on a fluctuating market. Since they tend to lose their ass on a regular basis, you may be looking for a new round buyer every other year. There's a few people that will do yotes up for a fee, and let the customer take his own chances on price. When I was a kid we used to sell pelts to the Hudson Bay buyer when he came through, or one of the few stable fur buyers. That sort of thing is mostly gone now, since there's only so many boom and crash cycles that people have the stomach for.

Realistically the whole thing is a hobby or a sport, except for the rare guy who is willing to treat it like a job. I'm just trying to have a little fun. I do have another project; which is to get this guy. It isn't going so well.

 
DL,thanks for the explanation.
Wonder how many remember the Hudsons Bay Fur Traders of yore?
Thank for the pics and it proves one can be a good sportsman and not need gore in showing their trade/skills too.
Won't be long before that large canine slops and you put one between the ribs.
Rob.

Looks like that fellow developed a taste for porcupine that left a bad taste in his mouth?!
