Title: Uncle Buck..
Post by: Hern on November 10, 2009, 03:40:59 PM
The Coyotes are getting 'darker' in color in my area the past few years.
I'll let you know when they are all Black, so you can come up and hunt 'em.
Here's one I got this afternoon....

Ever notice a Coyote never takes his eyes off of you? This ole boy was giving me the stare down.

Scott, that's funny. No he wasn't happy.
longhair, he was healthy for sure and top dog in the neighborhood
The first thing I said to him was, 'It looks like you had a rough night'
Most  Coyote coward down (lay down) when I walk up. But not this Alph Male. He woof, woof, barked and woofed some more. He wasn't happy with me laying flat on my belly taking pictures.
I made 2 calling set ups this morning while checking traps. I missed a dang burn Coyote. That ticks me off when I miss. Dang nab it.

good job on that yote,last season i had a big male barking and acting up ,mostly the ones i trap just hunker down and try to hide, or bounce around,i like it when they act like a big alpha dog.Ive trapped this year  5 days ,caught one female about 30 lbs.I would like to get out another week or two before buck season.

Real nice!!!!!!!!!
I attended a seminar years back at the PGC building...The so called state trapper talked about the Alpha and Bravo's and the Charleys......

Explained everything you all talked about here.....How the Alpha act in relationship to the Bravo's and the Charley's.

Now this is what he said....When you dispatch a Bravo or a Charley...You walk your hands up their back and when you get to the neck it just a quick....snap.... They cowar...... However he said.....You never do that to an Alpha male or Female.... As you walk your hands up their back ever  so slowly you get...........BIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I called in a coyote this past week-end...Weird  He or she just gave me that WUFF WUFF WUFF.......Then another WUFF, WUFF< WUFF,.  Thing was close to me too....However I just could not see it's eyes. Here I have the 17 Rem and it stayed there and just did this to me for about 3 minutes...Sound was only 50 yards from me....You think I could see it's eyes....Why I think it was wearing sung glasses......

Yes the WUFF WUFF WUFF....you hear that they are telling ever coyyote in the area that their is danger....


By the way never do the WUFF WUFF WUFF on your  call either...I wonder how many of us think we are barking and we are doing the WUFF WUFF WUFF.


Hern outstanding pictures... I  notice someone who really knows how critters travel the edge of corn and such.  Outstanding trap placement for sure.  Yep that Hern can read terrain for sure!!!!!!!!

Nice coyote Hern.  If it wasn't for the tail I'd say it was a shepard.

Hern,
That first picture had me laugh'n to myself and think'n of the crow hunt. :D But then I seen the second one and brought back into prospective what really transpired. ;) ( it's an inside joke  ;D)

Was that the one from behind the doughnut shop ? ???

Now if you had a partner and they would have gotten a picture of you belly crawl'n to get the second picture.......that would have been.........PRICELESS. ;D

BTW~ mini marshmellows......noted !!!!! ;)

You guys are funny. Give me your best shot...LOL

UB, that location has been a producer for 30+ years. Large, steep, kettle (swale) in open terrian. Bottom has 4 crop changes meeting, with propery line running long distance. Classic funnel, classic travelway. Talk about a 4-way intersection, every season I open a MacDonalds for the Canines on this interstate, No drive thru just a one way stop.
I do like to set between the 1st & 2nd row of picked corn.
