Tim WTF is a "Koodoos"? I`m so impressed at how far Leonard has come under your guidance, it seems as if he`s finally starting to pay attention & learn something. Wow!!!
Anyway, Knockemdown made a good point about the light "splash" Its tough when you`re on foot and by yourself, compare what LB has shared in the past about hunting from a rig & then try to make that all come together on foot with no help from another person. Damn tough aint it. Its still enough fun to keep going out though. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Don't think I'm ungrateful!, JD!
Same with lights. Shrouds are such a basic night hunting 101 issue that I completely overlooked the possibility that they/it was being misused.
Seriously, what is being discussed is such a waste of....no, no, you guys hang in there and enjoy yourselves.
And, another thing. What is the rationale/justification for hunting the same spot on successive nights? Are suitable locations in such short supply? Just saying......

Yes Leonard hunting spots out here are more or less hard to come by. I no longer have private property to hunt on here, so I have been going on state land. There are a couple more spots I would like to try but some of that means I will be back in the woods. I was trying to take some of the advice given here and get out of the woods a bit for night calling.

Well, They paved Paradise, put in a parking lot, didn't they? cut all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum, and then they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em. Don't it always seem as though, that you don't know what you got 'til it's gone. (all together now) PAVED PARADISE, PUT IN A PARKING LOT!
I think civilization is heading west. In a hundred years, my grandkids will be hunting clear cuts on successive nights.
Good hunting. LB

LB, I`m shocked, why would you say night hunting is a waste of time I gave up on doing it by myself, too much equip & too difficult to make all the stars line up just right, but trying to convince a buddy to stay up all night calling coyotes with me is damn near as difficult, a hell of a lot more productive with one guy on the light & one on the gun.
TA isn`t responding!?!? This could mean only one thing....The wireless internet isn`t working at the gay bar this afternoon.

I don't think Leonard was saying night hunting is a waste of time, JD. I read it to say that this rudimentary discussion is what is wasteful. While it may well be to those well versed in night hunting, like Leonard, I think it has some value. I have exactly zero experience calling at night, so reading the different strategies and suggestions is entertaining and educational to some of us. From what I gather, 49 has little (no offense) experience period, and he seems to be getting the help he asked for.
I know this for sure, getting out in the dark with some of you guys who know the ins and outs of swinging a light would be a hoot. The mention of warning gizmos set up to tell the driver what to do when, knocked me for a loop. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

There are a number of not very high tech signals, Jimaniz. Describing a circle in front of the road tells the driver that you want him to turn around. Holding the beam down the road and flicking it slightly to the left or right tells the driver which fork to take. Tipping the light slightly up and forward directly down the road repeatedly means go a little faster. Wig wagging sideways means slow down until I quit wagging. Wagging right across the hood, means stop the truck and cut the engine. After making a stand, ready to move, pointing your light down the road and flipping it up a couple times means start the truck and let's go.
These are ways of simplifying communication between whoever is in back and the driver with only the essential hunting spotlight. When you think about a momentary contact pushbutton in the back connected to a single light installed on the dash, there are a bunch of instructions that can be conveyed up front. A blinking light means something different than a steady light as does when the steady light goes out. You can even tell the driver to back up until you blink again, just with a series of codes predetermined and agreed upon. A second colored light can mean a whole different set of instructions. All of these things, done at a critical moment can make all the difference in success and failure. I can't count the animals that have been taken because of these special signals between those in the back and those in front. This stuff is all second nature, after you have been night hunting for a while. One thing that really never worked is vocal communications via some sort of intercom.
Good hunting. LB

Thanks for all the help guys. Though I am getting discouraged I won't be giving up.
I am gonna take some of Leonard's advice this week and try calling a new area. I will keep you posted if anything develops.

49 you mentioned you have to walk in on crunchy ice or snow. Is there any reason why you could'nt call youre way in along the power lines???? Not sure how far the next road is but I know of some guys that place a second vehicle farther down the line and then call as they work there way through..
Hang in there, it will come together.. .

Let me tell you a little story TA....once upon a time there were 2 wanna-be self promoting coyote hunters, one from MN. & one from TX, just for the sake of this story lets give them fictitious names like say....Tim & Byron, Tim & Byron were out getting an extra 15 years of experience of coyote calling one afternoon when they came across a sheep with its head stuck in the fence. When Byron saw this he immediately ran over to it, pulled his pants down & started gettin busy with that sheep, when he finished he turned to his top student & said "Tim, you want some of that" to which Tim replied " you damn right I do" so he walked over beside the sheep pulled his pants down, bent over, and stuck his head through the fence................

If that's a true story, they ain't nothing but gol dang preverts! I ain't about to shake hands with either one, again, either. At least have the decency to get married! Wait. That ain't right, they both ARE married, but not to each other.
So, that's how Byron accumulated his experience, helping sheep over the fence? Tim, stay away from him, he sets a bad example. One thing's for sure, farm boys will always be farm boys. EEK!
TX for bringin' this 2 our attention, JD. You da bomb!
Yo Tim, I'm yanking your moderator!

For the record I've never met Byron, not even sure of who he is.. I think he is a good friend of Shaws, he use to talk about him all the time, but like i said I've never met him..

Thanks for all the advice guys.
It's good to hear differing perspectives and approaches that would be taken by various hunters on the subject of night calling, and calling in general.
