So last week the itch to get out and do some hunting and fishing just got to be too much to bear. So I just had to scratch that itch. I have a couple rancher friends that are having a lot of trouble with coyotes and I was more than happy to help them out.

I'm pretty sure the fall colors right now and cooler temperatures have a lot to do with that itch. Here's a nice little piece of property I have permission to coyote hunt on.

Called in a pair and was able to get the male on the ground last Wednesday.

I had so much fun Wednesday after work I decided to give it another go Thursday after work. Wow, what a great decision. I called up 6 coyotes and put 5 of them on the ground.
First stand produced this double.

I got a double on the next stand, and then a single on the last stand. Three stands and dead coyotes on all of the. How often does that happen?

Took Friday off to watch my son's football game. Saturday I spent the morning trying to fill my antelope tag. I was not successful. Around 10am I went and helped a friend cut wood for his winter supply. Before I left I asked if I could fish on his place for a half hour or so. I'm glad I asked. The scenery alone is worth the price of admission.

The fishing was great as well. Landed this hawg of a rainbow. I call him a two-hander because he's too big to get one hand around.

Also got this great 21.5" brown. Had he had the girth of the rainbow I might have had a new taxidermy bill.

I spent the rest of the afternoon chasing around a specific antelope buck. I burned a lot of calories but no gun powder. Things just didn't come together. It doesn't help that he has 20 does with him. That is a lot of eyes to beat. Hopefully he will make a mistake this week and I hope to be there when he does. Stay tuned. smile


Is it Friday yet?

Some were a little. The big male looked good though.

The .204 is up and running. I killed 3 coyotes with it last spring before I hung it up for the summer.
