I wont shot them have had several blow up on the shoulder blade ruin hide and not even be a Patel shot have to shot with shot gun to put down they have all been over a hundred yards they never did it close

I can set you up on water in the serritas that dent get hunted except by me my family has fill our tags these for years mules and couse use some of the tanks

I have 2 that no one else hunts one is a flyway and the other you have to walk half a mile that gets rid of people

You are right hunters never speak up except to whine on foraums yet she got thousands of veiws from uneducated people on the subject as a trapper I will still be here doing what I do even if they get their bill passed that will turn bobcats and lions into dumpster cats since I won't be able to sell them but will still trap them as adc animals and make more money but would rather not do that its a waste

I always have corturnix quil they don't fly as far as bobwhites for 5 dollars each flight ready

I kill 90 percent of my coyotes with a shotgun.a old single shot goose gun full choke its good to about 60 yards with bb and num 4 buckshot.I hunt a lot in shotgun and rim fire only places

yes I know always forgetting the punctuation marks .......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cover sents and such things are a waist of money when hunting coyotes you will never beat there nose do use a soap to kill the ultravelet glow of your clothes regular soaps have a brighter in them it will make you stand out as they say on tv don't be a glow dope when setting up set up with some what of a cross wind with places where a coyote has to move threw more open ground to check out the caller when setting up set you gun where you think he will show or go to to keep movement to a min I aways have a rifle and a shot gun you will get hard chargers that will come all the way to the caller you will have kill that are feet from the caller yesterday killed a grey less then a foot from the my caller after waiting for him to move away from it so I didn't hit it as far as you rifle goes it is fine just not very good on fur I don't use the vmax anymore to mutch time sewing holes I use Winchesters varmintx in 223 you cant get them for you rifle to since I went to them no more sewing holes and do just as good a job at putting them down as the vmax as far as what a coyote hide is worth I just got my fur check in with a 38 dollor average not bad wages for a little more time to put up its a hobbie that will pay for itself once you get better at it between trapping and calling its my full time job 5 months a year just don't take any fur to the state sale you will get more money sending them off to fur companies where you are at the coyotes are worth more than here more hair by not skinning you could be leaveing up to 75 dollars laying there yet if you seen a 20 on the ground you would pick it up utube has lots of vidios to show you how to do everything from skinning to stretching the hides keep going and lerning even if you go with uther people you will still develop your own way of doing things as you learn what works and what don't after 30 years off hunting them I still am learning

cats and fox will be prime about the 3rd week of nov and be good tell the first of march coyotes wont be prime tell December when the hide is white not blue they are prime

its no different uther than you have a good idea what they will bring unlike the spring sale price for the year has been pretty mutch set I have some in every sale they have threw out the year

go to the nafa website and set up a account and it will tell you how things work I will leave here the first week of april and can drop off for you if you like

I would not use a 17 hmr for coyotes unless you are a good tracker the are great for fox and cats just not enough weight for coyotes I use the hornaday 17 gn vmax to they are great on fox but a cat or coyote outside 50 yards will run off a ways have had they go over 100 yards shot threw the hart with not a drop of blood do to they tiny hole I use mine mostly for my trap gun but if I am calling in a place where threre might be a foxs that henry is there I use a 223 but will have a hornet next year

they made one thing clear they don't want fur from the bigger trappers I was planning on takeing 50 coyotes but that is out you cant do a good grade sort on that many and only be able to enter 3 lots there will be to big a grade diffance on hides in the same lot so they will only bring the value of the bottom end in the sort ron day and mike huff must be trying to kiss buyer rear so I will be sending all of mine to nafa sale since the okla pick up point is 1 mile from my house in ada anyone around tucson that has hides that they want to go there send me a pm and we can talk about me dropping some off for you save shipping cost

that's cool did you get the snow fox on video

that is what the market report shows if they don't I will put them in the last spring nafa sale but that is what groeneworld fur and wools is reporting due to economic crisis in Russia and the strong dollar look it up they give a update every week everything except coyote and bobcat has a big red arrow

I called tell noon and only got 2 one came to wood pecker the uther came to ground hog distress today have not got any on rabbit sounds except baby cottontail in the last 2 weeks all the ground has been hunted hard not getting anything past 9 in the morning when every one starts driving around unless I am near town where they are not hunted mutch they are starting to pair up down here and challenge howl at each uther at night so howling will start working good for males that are looking for a date

good job the numbers will come there are no freebies you work for them all

I have a friend that mounts them if you get extras he will take them he get my badgers than we split profit when he sells if you would like his num pm me and I will get it to you

at the nafa sale my coyotes brought 20 more than globe the bobcats 250 keep in mind the was smaller coyotes and plain cats I have a bunch in the nafa jan sale and will post prices when I get them the trapping today market report last week showed coyote up cat holding everything else down I am going to put my greys in freeze and wait for better prices or tan and sell in tombstone as wall hangers

over the years working as a cowboy I have seen every year before deer season couse bucks would stay up on the ridges all day the second morning of season they come off at day light and go out into the flats I would see lots of deer behind guys glassing the ridges I had a good picture of a 120 inch deer laying on a little knoll with a guy glassing right in front of him less than 50 yards I had seen the same deer use that spot 3 years running if you headed towards him he was gone in two jumps he now resides on my wall deer get to know people just like anything else there have been some does i could ride within 20 feet of they seen me every day and know I am not any danger but a stranger come into sight and they run for cover heck we do the same thing when the snow birds flay south we change our habits don't go out as mutch spend less time a restrants and bars to avoid crowds they are no different there as far as calling coyotes goes I hunt more off highways and well traveled dirt roads so I can use traffic noise to cover my noise and walk farther than any uther time of year I do agree with coyotes knowing what day it is I call more late in the week than early I know all animals can be trained to be in a area the same time every day I have done it with horses to deer and hogs had a bunch of wild hogs in okla that would at the feeder at 5 every day except sat and sun they where on public land that was hunted hard those days

the Johnson grass is full of them west of sandero and snider hill if you want to go out there take snider hill west tell you run out of road got a limit last night to windy today I walk and jump shot them got 8 gambles to

I use the FoxPro hellfire it hold more sounds 200 and I can load them for free like the last post I dint hear 1 of complain about it sounding bad there opinion is most important to me and its only 350.00 the fx3 will work great for you. don't get stuck on name brands or the newest and what is the trend . I have a 4 sound ecaller that cost 20 bucks when I got it 4 or 5 years ago just for kicks and if works just fine I use it when there is not mutch wind the. remember the call is just part of it a million dolor call wont make a newbe any better then a old hand I can get out the old johnystewrt tape player out or one of there hand calls and still call them tec makes it easyer but we are losing woodsmenship because of it .

had a gila monster come to the caller with rodent dest he climbed right up on it I know the eats baby mice and bird eggs didn't know they would come to sound maybe it was just in his way that sound brings lots of road runners get my shear of bp agents had a wolf come in on the blue river in 27 in the last 20 years guess I have called everything that eats meat except a lion will get it done sooner or later
