Got in 3 coyote calling stands after helping the rancher!

The first stand I made after helping the rancher and his family brand calves was a blank stand. I didn't see a thing until I walked back over the hill top to where I had my truck hidden. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s28/derbyacresbob/2017-01-28%2014.32.17.jpg About 26 Tule Elk showed up out pa...

4 coyotes on 1 crazy shotgun stand!

Today at about noon I decided I was going to go out to shoot some new loads at paper out of my 22-250 and do a few calling stands. Right after I shot six 22-250 rounds at paper the fog rolled in. I was able to get in two rifle stands before the fog got to thick to use my rifle. So I decided to go ou...

A great day of coyote calling!

Yesterday .22guy and I went coyote calling and started before sun up and our last stand was just after sun down. The first stand of the morning I started out with Female Sore Howls sound on full volume and a bunch of coyotes started yipping and howling about a half mile away. I switched to Bay Bee C...

Re: My day ended better than it started!

Great job on all of the coyotes. If you don't mind me asking what kind of calling sequence are you using and duration for each call? I have been dabbling in predator hunting for a year or so but I am trying to buckle down and get serious. I don't use set or automatic sequences because I don't want ...

I made around 10 coyote calling stands today without seeing a coyote. Maybe the huge moon we had last night had something to do with the slow start I had today. A little after 2:00 pm I made a shotgun stand at the top of a steep canyon. I leaned up against the trunk of a big oak tree in the shade wi...

Re: Had another good day of coyote calling.

When you guys hunt turkeys take along a predator hand call. When you are done calling turkeys at a stand instead of getting up and giving up, try to call in a coyote for 5 to 10 minutes before you leave. You are already set up and in position, give it a try. Take some lead number 4 buckshot and swit...

The first calling stand was a good one!

Two weeks ago I got a call from a rancher, he wanted me to come out and call some coyotes. He was pretty sure that coyotes got two of his calves in the last few weeks. I don't normally call coyotes much in July so I wasn't real excited about going. But since this rancher and his family have been ver...

Re: Did some coyote calling and branded some calves.

Good job Bob. I love the terrain you get to hunt in. One ? The terrain don't look like it provides the yotes with much cover so do they just stay in underground dens and come out when they hear you calling. Here they have dens but we also have a lot of cover to for them to stay in. Only about 1 mil...

Did some coyote calling and branded some calves.

This morning I was going out to help a rancher and his family brand right at 80 calves. They wanted me there at 9:00 am so I asked if I could do some calling before the branding started and the rancher said no problem. I got out there early enough that I could take my time and still wait for about 1...

Re: Yote down

Congratulations on getting a new property to hunt!

The last three coyote calling seasons have been pretty slow here in California because of the drought. Hopefully we will get enough rain and the coyotes will have great big litters in the spring of 2016.

On my first stand yesterday morning at 10:30 am I had my shotgun, my 243 Win and my camera with me. I had the camera in my hands, the shotgun in my lap and my 243 Win sitting next to me on my right. I was sitting in the shade of a juniper. I tried 3 or 4 sounds and had been calling for about 20 minu...

On stand 7 everything was perfect, a canyon with lots of ridges dropping down into it from both sides. The wind was coming up the canyon to me and the sun was at my back. Thi...
