Coyotes Beginning To Think About Valentine’s Day

February 1, 2011

February is Valentine’s month. Don’t forget about your sweetie or your sweetie might forget about you. February is also when coyotes starting making the moves on their sweeties. I think I saw a bit of that this weekend. Saturday morning my buddy Gale and I called in four coyotes on two stands.
Luck wasn’t with me [...]

I Lied

December 30, 2010

I lied. I said I wasn’t going to hunt coyotes over the Christmas break, but I couldn’t help myself. We had to get my dog up to speed on how to decoy so I was forced into action.
As you can see, she did fine and it could have been better. We actually had three coyotes [...]

Wildlife Gone Wild?

June 30, 2010

The Ugly Side of Mother Nature

March 16, 2010

As spring begins to spread across the country it’s easy to overlook the uglier side of Mother Nature. It’s the side of her that rears her dreadful head in winter. If you don’t believe me, take a hike in your nearest wild area and you’ll see what I mean.
This weekend I spent much of the [...]

March 5, 2010

Just when the cats thought it was safe to evade marauding coyotes by climbing the coyotes themselves learned to climb, and balance like a tightrope walker at [...]

“Where, Oh Where Can I Shoot?”

March 5, 2010

These early days of March are the low point in the hunter’s year. On these gray days there’s very little in North America to hunt for! Quail and rabbit were the last “regular” game seasons to go out. We’re a few weeks away from spring snow geese and even the earliest turkey seasons. It’s even [...]

Almost Outfoxed by a Coyote

February 1, 2010

Hopefully you got out and were able to chase a fox as I suggested prior to the weekend or even spent time scouting. I went coyote hunting and almost was outfoxed. It’s that time of year. Right now coyotes are cagier than a reality film crew trying to catch a cheating politician. I found this [...]

Outfoxed Again

January 29, 2010

When I first started venturing out on my own with a firearm in hand, one of my favorite wintertime pursuits was to crisscross the fields of eastern South Dakota in search of red fox. Back in the 1980s there actually were quite a few red fox scattered across the Midwest. That’s changed today with the [...]
