Dad and I had a dry hole behind his house, but a bit further walk got one to come into the call. First I’ve got in a couple years. This whole “work” thing had really got in the way of hunting.

Closer up view. 1885 Lo Wall. Winchester version. Would like the wood I’ve seen on some of the Brownings, but this was in my local shop for $600 a few years ago so it followed me home. .22 Hornet. I forget what bullet we have loaded now, soft pointed 40 grain I think, would have to dig out the box but I’m 7 hours away now. Tried some of the lower weight v-Max’s and such tumbled.

It's been a tough year so far here trying to call up a coyote, but I finally succeeded this morning.

Very nice cheesy ...the only double I ever called in, I was using a 22hornet......ended up twanging a 45g soft point off a strand of barbwire fence.....what are the chances right?
James- I’m in the eastern part of the state. Boyd county. It’s been crazy tough here this year. I’m currently 12 stands in a row without as much as a flash of fur.

221, I called in a pair of them this morning, and should have shot the female first, as that way the male can sometimes be called back. The male came in too close and I didn't want to get busted, so I shot him, and of course the only shot I had at the other was a running away shot.
Interesting story, I had no sooner than turned on the FoxPro with a rabbit sound, when 3 dogs came up, and were sniffing around. I figured that was that, so I switched to a male coyote howl, and that made the dogs run off. About 3 or 4 minutes later is when the coyotes came in the field.
I've called up a few this winter, but they've been in the woods, and I didn't get a shot. Haven't really hunted much though, as it's been too warm, and I've been feeling crappy. I'm in southwestern Kentucky.

I’m glad you got one either way...and you’re right about the weather. I haven’t had one good cold weather day when I’ve been off work. Maybe the coming weeks will bring a change of luck. Question. Do you get many fox in your area? I use to get into them all the time here. Both red and gray...they seem to have vanished. And there’s not any more coyotes here that wasn’t here before. According to calling, trail cams and general sightings One farm I hunt. On 2 trail cams I only got a picture of a coyote twice from September to Christmas.

There were some years about 10 years ago that I would kill 20 coyotes a year, mostly October through March., and also throughout the year here on the farm. I would kill 3 or 4 a year out of one field next to my house, targets of opportunity. I'm not killing many anymore, and I blame part of that on losing some prime coyote hunting ground, and part on the Mennonites moving into our area in large numbers. They trap them, and they have snares and fish hook traps set all over, including many places where they don't have permission. So, yes, coyote numbers seem to be down here.
As far as foxes go, we don't have many here. There is one farm I hunt about 20 miles from me on which I've killed a couple of greys in the last few years. We see a red fox here every now and then. I also like to call bobcats, and this is the first year in past 10 or so that I've not called up a cat yet.
