Ramblings and Such From Hunting Coyote

But you already have the free copy of it. With the cold front coming in and hanging around the predators should be hungry and looking around more now. Yesterday Walt and I took a little road trip out north of town, it was calm and got sunny the temp. was 28 F, about 2:00 in the afternoon there were around a hundred antelope bedded down on some hay meadows, just enjoying the afternoon sun. Most of them were yearlings or doe's I only saw a couple of younger bucks with them. Walt forgot to wipe his feet after his excursion and got muddy paw prints on his console seat, I will have to clean it before the wife sees it or I will get informed of being not so smart for letting him out in the muddy areas lol. The moon was going to set around 5:00 P.M. and a few of the critters were getting up to start their feeding for the evening but for the most part they were just laying around. Our rabbit population is making a comeback and that is a good thing. The plane flew and I didn't see any new coyote tracks in the snow, not even the digger was out they might have gotten her. Funny thing they haven't learned how not to leave tracks in the snow for the aircraft to follow. We were out one cold snowy morning probably 25 years ago and the helicopter pilot got on a set of tracks, we were following them, and I told him those are bobcat tracks. He asked me how I would know that. I said because they are wandering all over the place and not lined out like a coyote does. He called BS so we followed them till we saw the critter running from us, it was a nice big old blue backed tom. We did get 11 coyotes that day in a valley that had a huge prairie dog town in it covering a couple of square miles. I still can't call coyotes that aren't there to be called but Walt has a ton of fun while I'm trying to, and I enjoy watching him doing his thing checking everything out, he probably covers a mile at every stand and doesn't get more than 50 or so yards from me.
