Rich Higgins and I have talked about some of the things we'd like to try in an effort to mess with the local coyote populations' little brain pans.
We just want to see thier reaction to various stimulus, here's a few I'd like to try:
-Replace Leonard's mist w/ ammonia.
-Call em in close and hit em w/ pepper spray.
-Call em in close and blow a marine air horn in thier face.
-Call em in close and blow a dog whistle.
-Place a stuffed rabbit decoy and possibly an e-caller (hosed w/ rabbit urine) on some fishing line and see if they'll follow it in.
-Call em in to a pile of peanutbutter.
(edit:forgot one)
-See how they react to various flavors of Yankee Candle air fresheners.(ie. blueberry muffin,honeydew mellon, cucumber & cantaloupe, etc.)
Any others you've thought of, or tried? And what was the response?

How about after you skin a few, put the carcasses behind your favorite Chinese restaurant and then call the health department? Now that would make headlines. LOL
Good hunting.

Q!Q!Q!Q! I embarrass myself sometimes pulling silly stuff such as W@W listed, but Dude, I have to take my hat off to you.

An accidental event.
I was using my homemade caller with three reeds in a cowhorn. I should say, about to use it. Maybe I should say I had just started to use it? I'd been calling for a while with a much quieter hand call.
Anyway, my son was away from me and could see the coyote that had approached behind me; stopped at less than ten feet behind my back, and the angle was such that he didn't have a shot.
So, I cut loose with a real loud series, and the coyote was so startled that he reared up and actually fell over backwards. Got clean away, too.
Good hunting. LB

RH: "Would the real Wile E. please step forward."
Too late, Silver Fox already posted a pic of me.

Leonard,
Could you change my title from "advanced guru" to "complete idiot", that way it will be all up hill from there. LOL!
Thanks in advance!
~SH~
Posted by Rich Higgins (Member # 3) on March 12, 2003, 06:30 AM:
Wiley, I just noticed that. Leonard change mine to Dazed and Confused. Truth in advertising.

Leonard,
If it's not a problem could you save the "Don't know Sh**" title for me?

W@W-
Would you film the amonia/ and pepper spray for me? I'm out on these ,as unpredictable Ok. wind currents have changed the direction of Leonard's Mist which caused me a couple of cold water hose baths before entering the house. lol. I love the thought of the yote stopping and eating the peanut butter. I really love the thought of that coyotes reaction to the next distress sound that he hears after that. The only thing that I could possibly add is perhaps some Van Halen "eruption".
later pup
Posted by WolverineAtWork (Member # 23) on March 12, 2003, 07:54 AM:
Pup, the wind around here does the same thing most of the time. I'll have to pick a day w/ a decent steady breeze and make sure that I spray it crosswind from me.
When I get around to pulling some of these off, I'll make sure I've got Rich and Tyler w/ me working the cameras for posterity. I'll tell you about the next upcoming film project on Sat. Looking forward to seeing you again.
Oh, and I thought of a couple more...
-I've got a propane powered potato cannon that'd knock em off thier feet w/out killing em. 
-I'm also trying to figure out how to concentrate "human smell" into a liquid form and hit one w/ a water balloon full of it. (or just hose him down w/ a super soaker)
-I also want to fill a super soaker w/ a bright colored clothing dye or some "just for men" hair color and see if I can't touch up some of those gray spots. hehe..
-Also trying to figure out a way to slap a piece of duct tape on the snout of a coyote or attatch a few strips to his paws. Goodness knows it's funny on cats!

I don't recal ever doing anything weird to a coyote except maybe shooting one when it was stuck with it female counterpart and couldn't run away, I really kinda felt bad about that one. Then I shot one with a fresh uncooked rost beef in its mouth it had just stole from a restaurant. But the coyotes got back at me when one took a dump on my head as I was skinning it out. By the way, who is Van Halen? Good Hunting.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on March 12, 2003, 04:02 PM:
I'm worried about you, Danny. How could you forget the baja coyote on 40 lb. test?
Posted by onecoyote (Member # 129) on March 12, 2003, 05:03 PM:
Leonard your right, I forgot that one. Man this old age stuff is bad huh? ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Not to many people ever caught a coyote on a rod and reel and practiced catch and release, ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Good Hunting.
Posted by WolverineAtWork (Member # 23) on March 12, 2003, 08:08 PM:
Do tell! C'mon guys sounds like a good story..
Posted by TrapperDan (Member # 124) on March 13, 2003, 07:59 AM:
Ok , this is kind of related ....
While skinning a male coyote , my daughter (7 at the time ) came out to talk to me . I heard her say "cool ". I looked down to see her playing with the ba77s of the coyote , I had just cut them off and they were laying there . I hollered "put those down , do you know what them are ?" She said "no" . I told her what they were . She said "EEEWWWWWWW!!! (PAUSE) Oh cool , their furry?" Thought that was somewhat funny .
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on March 13, 2003, 08:17 AM:
Cute story, Dan. But, wait! You didn't carelessly discard that pair of "cool" articles, did you? Some folks believe that you need to save everything, right down to the toenails?
So, just curious. What was the exact wording that you would use with a seven year old daughter? My wife says you can't go wrong with medical descriptions; scrotum, testicles, penis, vulva, etc.
Good hunting. LB
Posted by Rich Higgins (Member # 3) on March 13, 2003, 09:26 AM:
Actually Leonard, you can go wrong with the clinical terms. In the Ozarks a vulva was car imported from Sweden. Testicles was the last step before shipping Elmo. A penis was a piano player.
Posted by WolverineAtWork (Member # 23) on March 13, 2003, 09:53 AM:
I don't know which scares me more about the last few posts.
Having a 7 year old daughter that'll some day ask that question.
Or recognizing every joke Rich just mentioned. hehe.. We get along waaay too well Rich. Kinda scary!

Ozarks, you say? I heard about them "virgins".
No hate mail, just a joke, okay?
edit: reminds me, I wish I never sold that Scrotum, what with the price of gas, these days!
edit: Oh, you said Vulva....nevermind.
edit: Sweden? Call someone A "Saab" in them there Ozarks and that's fightin' words!

Oh and BTW Dan, I think snipping the nuts of a coyote easily qualifies under this thread topic. (I'm almost afraid to ask) What exactly were you planning on doing w/ them?
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on March 13, 2003, 01:55 PM:
That's a good question. I cut around them and leave them attached to the carcass. LB
Posted by WolverineAtWork (Member # 23) on March 13, 2003, 03:00 PM:
I thought of a couple of other things I'd like to try:
-Hit em w/ a big blob of Vicks Vapo-Rub.
-Hose one of the dairy coyotes (so I can go see the results later) with a bottle of Nair hair removal lotion. (It's warming up now, so it won't kill em) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Posted by Az-Hunter (Member # 17) on March 13, 2003, 03:14 PM:
Leonard; Thats exactly the approach I took with my two kids. If ever they asked specific questions about "parts", I told them exactly what they were in the correct terms. Always seemed to work well, my son and daughter knew what I was speaking about, but learned the correct terms, so there was never anything to snicker about.
Posted by TrapperDan (Member # 124) on March 14, 2003, 04:27 AM:
Leonard , I told my daughter them were "his nuts". Ask your wife if that was appropriate. lol
Wolverine , I cut them off to make dooe knockers out of . Just kidding , I had no use for themso I planned on throwing them out . Did you want a set , I'll send the next ones to ya .LOL
BTW Leonard , I usually cut around them too but found they make a good handle when pulling that belly skin down .

Dan, I don't need them, but I hear the Fear Factor producers are looking for new stuff for thier food challenges. I'd probably just get fired for "accidentally" leaving them on a co-worker's keyboard,
so you'd better not send me any.
