Title: preseason locating
Post by: foxtrot on October 17, 2010, 11:33:10 AM

Went out last night to see if I could get some vocal responses from some coyotes.First spot I single howled and waited about 5 minutes and then yip howled and after about another 5 minutes a fox started barking and continued non stop for several minutes.I answered back with my own rendition of a fox bark that seemed to agitate the gritter all the more.
   The last stop of the night I used the same howling combination and just as I finished the yip howl I heard something approaching in the leaves very quickly.Out pops a coyote on the logging road in front of me at about 40 yards,I bark as he stops in the middle of the road  for a few seconds.As this was a locating run I did not take a weapon so this fellow got a free pass.I don't know if my howling combination was the proper thing to do or not because I didn't expect a physical response,but it was still exciting even though I never fired a shot.

Sounds like a good place to take me. ;D   All kidding aside sounded like a great time.

That can be arranged,although it would probably be best if you do the shooting as I've been known to miss.
  Sorry about the topic spelling must of had a  brain fart.

We sit on the ridges and listen to the different howls etc. Once in awhile you get to hear a good chase. And many coon fights.
