Got one this morning

[fratri]

Got to the farm just before first light with a few coffees for the farmers. Chatted for a bit before I headed to the back of the farm and was setup just after legal light. Played a few dying rabbit sounds for about 6 minutes before I notice this coyote coming in. I let him get about 15 yds behind the caller before I yelled out a loud WOLF sound to get him to stop. It was a 75 yd frontal shot that dropped him in his tracks.
I got to say, with the lack of snow, they blend in so well it is extremely difficult to see them coming across the field in low light conditions. So much so that I had them on top of the caller before I notice them. I missed a few because of this, nice to get back on them.

Great hunt and story beautiful yote congrats on another successful hunt.

We all need to get out there do our part and hopefully can increase the fawns survive rate.

Congratulations on the coyote. Just curious, is that what passes for winter in southern Ontario? Or is bare ground in January unusual?

 

[mr.friendly]

We can always use one less coyote. Congrats!

Unusual, at least for this length of time. Long range forecast shows above freezing temps for the next 7 days.

Other than a few days in November and the Christmas blizzard we have had virtually no winter here in Ontario and don’t look to be getting any winter to speak of for the next 2 weeks. Bare ground in January is becoming the normal rather than the exception. And this year it seems to be muddy bare ground. I am not sure we have seen more than 5 mins of sunshine so far this year. It really sucks the little bit of fun we get out of winter..no ice for ice fishing and no snow to hunt rabbits and coyotes in. Little to no snow even up north for snowmobiles and skiers now either. Winter in Southern Ontario blows !
