[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 3106595, member: 91783"] 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 early. I had just started working for the ranch, and they were on the neighboring ranch, but I had written permission to hunt on it as long as it wasn't muddy. I was out early one morning checking some snares and had stopped on a ridge along the boundary fence, it was maybe 7;00 when they started talking both adults started it and then the pups chimed in. I got close to where I thought they were hiding my truck and got up on a hill in a rock pile, sat glassing for a while, then let out a long lone howl, the adults ran out of a draw just about 100 yards from me stopped and went nuts doing sharp short howls and barks, kickbacks and challenging me to come to them for a fight. I shot one that was standing the most still and did my wounded coyote the other one responded by charging my way then stopped and got shot. The den was only about 150 yards from me oops I was a little closer than I thought I was, but it worked out just by luck. I took eight pups from that den that were nearly 10 inches at the shoulder and both the older ones were probably 5 or 6 years old. They had well rounded canines but not worn out or broken off. I can't count the number of times that I have had coyotes at or close to the den run out and do the shrill angry howls and high-pitched barks at me in an attempt to get me to follow them away from the den, and yes, I did fall for it a couple of times in my earlier life, but then when you track back and find that you were at the den it all becomes clear. Decoyed and fooled like the killdeer birds do when you're by their nest, a lot of animals will do that, and coyotes will knowingly give their lives for their pups it seems like. [/QUOTE]
