I shot one on the snow last night under the full moon and got three today.
Good hunting.
Q,

There's my problem, I don't have any snow to hunt over.
Q, you just have too much free time, you need a couple of non driving High School kids in different sports, Band and Choir to help with your free time.

Q, great picture;
Tim, yes we need some snow to call in. Heading to Flag next weekend for that... looking for clothes I haven't worn since I left Maine.
We need to be able to call under the moon and stars as well. Just to have the opportunity to hunt in the shadows...

Yeah, thanks, Quinton. Nice lineup. Hey guys, did you notice that he almost cracked a smile?
(just teasing, Q)
Yeah, Norm. You may get into the white stuff up there. A lot of people don't realize that Flagstaff is higher than "The Mile High City" of Denver. I remember once, we had to dig down fourteen feet to get into my cousin's mobile home @ Mormon Lake. (big dogs)
You can also drive up beyond Page and hunt the other side of the river, at night.
Good hunting. LB

Leonard, Page is a 6 hr drive for me... my wife would have me committed if I told her I was driving the far to hunt coyotes in Utah & Nevada; (great idea though)...
I am off to hunt flag to seligman on the 19th and 20th... It seems alot of people hit the Mormon Lake area, but I will have to reconsider.. can't be any worse than hunting around Scottsdale...
I think Quinton was probably clinching his teet to keep them from rattling with the cold... or it could be a slight smile... he is posting pictures of coyotes and we are not....

Hey, Q... I hate your guts. There! Smile about that!
I tell you guys, I hunted with Q. Guy'll walk the legs off a mule. I've been trying to use his methods here with my homeboy dogs and all I get is pissed off. (Better than being pissed on, huh?) In the past, I park the truck, hike in a ways, call, call, call, go back to truck and move to another place and repeat. Maybe shoot once in a while. Today, I call this really good looking place. No coyotes. I see another good looking place a half-mile downrange, so a-hikin' I will go. About a hundred steps from where my ass cheeks just left two dimples in the ice, I bump a big dog coyote, red as a Nebraska freakin' Cornhusker, and before I can even think "Holy Crap!", it's over the top of a terrace and gone.
Now, here's the problem. That coyote laid out there in plain view, exceptin' for the grass, for the whole half-hour I was on that first stand. Had I done things my way, I'd have gotten up and left and never even knew that coyote was there. But noooooooooooo. I gotta do a Q and take off across the township on foot. That's when I jumped him, for what it was worth. I just don't need that kinda frustration. I think I'll start calling from the comfort of the truck and eliminate walking altogether from here on out.
And BTW, it must be nice to hunt at night. I hate going out alone at night to hunt. Gets kinda lonely out there in the nowhere all by my lonesome. But try and get just one of these candy asses around here to go with you! (With a whiney voice, say,)"It's too cold for me." Last night was a good night to be out. What snow we had Tuesday melted yesterday but man, I was thnking about it awfully hard. Just couldn't bring myself to go outside again after nine hours of carrying mail in that ice and crap. Nice pics anyway.

I used to deliver freight to Page and Tuba City from Utah. Saw a lot of coyotes. Carried a rifle just for the occasion. Once I spoted me a nice yote comming right at the highway there was a semi in front of me. I pull over and get my gun out, just as I get him in the sights he crosses the road right in front of the semi. splat! I wish I had that on video.

Last year I called in a coyote but it was really wierd, it hung up about 1/2 mile away or so and started mousing. It did eventually get my scent and took off running. I know I've posted this before but...I do have video of that critter getting hit by a truck while trying to race it to the intersection!!! The coyote didn't go "SPLAT" though. He flew about 12 feet and landed in a ditch. He jumped up and ran like a, "you know what!!!!" Just a second ot two after the critter leaves the frame, he comes flying back into view. I was so inthralled, I had to watch with binoculars instead of concentrating on the camera. DANG IT!!!!!!
