freebm,
Nothing tonight.
Got out in a slight rain. From what I've read and heard over the last few years, they're relatively non-existent during rains, and for the most part, on windy days.
I started with the usual rabbit in distress for a few runs, waited awhile and than ran another few cycles. Then I switched over to a female coyote locator bark & howl. I got no response tonight at all. But, that's usually the way it goes for the majority of the hunts.
Normally on the nights that it's calm mainly, these are the nights that I get responses. Being cold helps.....say in the high teens to the mid 20's.
I just got permission (actually a request) from an old buddy to come over and eradicate his coyote population. I've known for years that he's had a problem with them as he used to tell me of them a lot when he ran our local bow shop. Nice guy really.
I just never considered his property because I thought he hunted it himself......not so he says....
Welllll alrighty then........!!!!!
His property borders Letchworth State Park, which makes sense on why he has a problem. The park is filthy with them, and they harbor there as they're protected. No hunting within the park borders except during given seasons (deer).
Butch (the property owner) is a very seasoned hunter (mainly bow) and he knows his game very well. He has told me that the coyotes he's seen, for the most part, are very large.
I'll keep you posted on the new spot.....
Good huntin'
Bob
