When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.
Chief Joseph, Nez Perce Tribe
So we've started hunting sage rats. Big hunt weekend after next in Crane Oregon where we will kill 10 to 20 thousand or so between the 10 of us if the weathers nice.

More than enough prairie dogs to keep me and my two Swifts busy this summer.

Strictly as a last resort, you could tackle a few "honeydews."
No? Okay. Get out the catalogs and start ordering stuff.
Good hunting. LB

Let modify your following statements....
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist, When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt muslims for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

It's getting to be the time of year when I really start using a lot of powder and lead. Rock chucks, prairie dogs, jack rabbits, ground squirrels etc...
Went out yesterday and got my first 5 chucks of the year.

I need to get out after some rock chucks before it is time to start irrigating, if there is any water in the canal this summer. I think my Rugers are feeling neglected.

Bryan,
We turn on the canal water April 14th, you better get moving. We should be delivering about 70% for the season here.

The water should start flowing the first week in May. The resivour is 3 feet lower this year than last year at this time. We suspect we will be cut back by at least 25% before the end of the growing season. Sure could have used some of Maineiac’s snow this winter. I am grateful for what we do have though.

Well since the hides are worth the same in January, As they are in July here. My season never ends. Just takes the edge off on those 98 deg. 98% humidity days.
Plus blood loss gets mighty high when they flood the rice fiels, And the skeeters blanket you.

This time of year I spend a lot of time behind glass watching coyotes. As boring as it sounds, I find it rather enjoyable.
Also do my fair share of prairie dog and jackrabbit shooting. Head out on Wednesday for my first trip of the year pursuing rock chucks and jack rabbits.
I also do a lot of preseason scouting during the spring and summer, getting prepped for the fall/winter season.

Well, before I met Rich Higgins, summer was that intolerable period of time before opening day and the last time out. Nowadays, I'll be out as often as I am during the winter, except I'll have the camcorder in my hand instead of a rifle. Maybe.

For the next couple of months ground squirrels and spring black bear hunting will keep me occupied. I also like to take a day or two and hike the hills looking for shed antlers.
Like WhiteMtnCur, I also really enjoy spending time behind bino's and a spotting scope watching animals during the spring and summer.

This is one of the more interesting times of the year for anyone who enjoys observing coyote behavior. The pregnant bitches are denned and whelpng through the rest of April and May in Az. Pups will begin emerging from the dens about May 15. Wonderful opportunities for cameras. Adults and pups will come to variety of calls for a variety of reasons and if set up fairly close to a den will remain close for long periods of time. You have to stay far enough away from the den so the mom doesn't feel it is threatened or she will move the pups, no sense in causing that much disturbance. For those that are worried about educating the coyotes to the call and ruining their chances in the fall, don't. As long as I appeal to their curiosity and territorial instincts without frightening them they keep coming back time after time. In fact some of them seem to kinda enjoy fussing with me or watching others in their group do it.

Time to do a little carping and maybe take some dramamine before sorting thru some of the Higgins video footage to erase the shakey parts.
Will still sneak out to mess with coyotes. Season never ends.
Need to come up with a new decoy concept. Some of you have seen all the old ones. I have a great idea for one...just need somebody like a Higgins to try it on. LOLOLOL

Understanding the coyote is not as important as knowing where they are.
I usually let the fur prime up before I leave 'em lay.

Seldom Ever, is that how many times you see a coyote in By God West Virginia? ![[Confused]](confused.gif) You picked a famous nic Seldom. We had a old prospector fella out west that was called (Seldom Seen Slim). He would come to town once or twice a year, never had any money, ![[Frown]](frown.gif) just "GOLD". ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) If he was in the saloon and you were there too, all you had to do was pay attention to his stories ( I hear he had some)and you'd never have to buy a beer. ![[Smile]](smile.gif) He died in 1967, nobody ever found where he got his gold from. Just thought I'd relate the story, ![[Wink]](wink.gif) Good Hunting
