We had cold rain on and off all day with 10 - 15 mph winds here today another good day to get things done at home or in the garage. It cleared off around five this evening. Here the earliest that I have heard pups talking was the 9th of May, they were born to an older female and her older mate...

Study on accurizing an AR and you will do okay. I live in some pretty open country and don't often get shots at coyotes at longer range like what you are thinking about. When calling closer range is the norm, 50 -100 and even closer are more common. Spot and stalk or just spotting you might get...

I got called about coyotes killing lambs so was out early the next morning. The sheep were in a pasture close to the interstate and a WHP came down the interstate running its lights and siren heading to a wreck, after it had passed the coyotes that I was going to locate with my siren answered...

I was out trying to track some coyotes to their den, that were killing lambs. It was getting close to noon, I was a few miles from town, it was on a Saturday and the town ran their civil defense sirens. Up in the draws half a mile from me the coyotes and pups answered them, saved me time and...

As the pups get older mom will start leaving them alone at night and go out hunting with dad and the helper if they have one. close to this time the pups will start to talk, and you can pinpoint them from them doing this. It seems like here that they need around thirty minutes to an hour to talk...

I had learned in the early 1980's from listening to the coyotes on the mountain and out in the prairies, that in the mornings the coyotes that have been out hunting at night will talk to the one that is home with the kids as they are coming home. Even if it's a male and a helper they want to let...

You can look back to page 4 for Volume and distance and page 6 for Coyote Hunting Tips for a ton of useful information.

So very many times setting quietly and just listening to the world has paid off in my quest to find the coyotes that were killing livestock. I have learned so much from them just listening and watching them. Knowing that I had to kill them but first letting them tell me more about themselves for...

I haven't done extensive amounts of calling in other areas. But I did some in Montana and Southern Indiana, and tried the same locator and where are you howls in both other places and they worked the same there as they did here. I learned the locator series from Bill Austin but the where are you...

I have always found it interesting how fast a surrogate will take the pups out of the area after something happens to the adults and how far they will take them some of the time. I tracked a female taking the pups up a good sandy road one year for over a mile to another location. I shot the male...

It's raining in the low country and snowing in the high country today. They predict up to two feet of snow above 8500 feet elevation, that's hard on the young, old and sick animals. more pups will die from this weather than we could kill, it's faster than starving to death. The tracking will be...

We didn't get any form of moisture here today, but the wind was blowing at 25mph when I got up this morning with gusts over 40mph. Trucks under 50,000 gw were asked to stay off the roads again but still some ended up on their sides, just not as many as yesterday, thankfully.

Here today we are having rain and snow mixed with high wind gusts. South of us I-25 is closed to high profile and light weight vehicles most trucks under 40,000 pounds are asked to stay off the highways and in places those up to 50,000. Small cars and pickups are asked to stay off the highways...

The weather turns nasty when the warm humid gulf fronts meet the cold dryer northern fronts. It's been dumping rain down south and causing some pretty hard winds to blow in the northern central parts of the country. It looks like the weather will be moving eastward this week. We here will be...

The wind never laid down last night it was blowing 23 mph when I got up this morning with gusts of 36 mph. They predict it will continue to blow for the next couple of days with rain and snow mix starting later this evening. Not good predator hunting weather no matter who or what you are. Most...
