Hello Everyone, We just got back from Arizona 2 days ago and I finally have some time to post a few pics. We had a great time, met some great folks, and yes called a few predators. The first day we hunted with Rich and Tyler Higgins and had a great time. Wind kept the success rate down on the first day, but we did manage to call in a fox in one of the prettiest spots you could call.
He zipped through the canyon like it was nothing. He got down below us in some thick brush then finally showed himself again down in the bottom of the canyon.
Rich made a great shot the first AZ predator was in the books.
The second morning we set up on a wash right at daylight. Rich did the calling and we settled and took in the awesome views. We caught movement about 150 yards upwind in the draw. This large female (by AZ standards) came in to 100 yards and checked up.
Rich coaxed a little and here she came. She trotted right in and ended up 40 yards out in front of us and we stopped her for the shot. Bang Flop.
Later that afternoon we hooked up with Jay Nistetter and the coyotes were on the move. The first settup we called next to some farm land and a stock tank (both great areas for the AZ climate). About 3 minutes in Jay motioned that he had one coming. 30 seconds later this coyote busted out of the grass on a dead run twords the Foxpro.
Jay cut the call, but this there was nothing stopping this coyote. It got to the call fast and figured out something wasnt right (the call is right under his back legs). Jeff woofed but it was too late and the race was on.
He made a great running shot just before he hit the brush heading for the hills.
We had a great time and really enjoyed called some different terrain. Hope you guys enjoy the pics.
Take care,
Todd

Hey Jay,
Just how far south did you take them?
That coyote looks like the picture was taken just off of Rucker Canyon Road.
