Tim,
Do you have any idea of how deep they dig those holes? I have one here behind my house that I've been dumping the ashes from my burn barrel into for 6 years, still haven't filled it in.
Posted by TA17Rem (Member # 794) on April 18, 2007, 06:56 PM:
I would hate to disturb this den Tim B., but i could find out for you if you need to know.
Posted by Tim Behle (Member # 209) on April 18, 2007, 07:19 PM:
Naw, I don't need to know, just curious. If I ever manage to fill this one in, I've got another half a dozen or so here around the house. At this rate, I'll never live long enough to fill them all in!

You hear that, folks. Tim has coyote dens all over his back yard. McNeal, AZ
Good hunting. LB

If you look around, you could probably find a couple of arrowheads too. But Geronimo has been gone from the area for 98 years now.
Just because the coyotes used to be here, doesn't mean that they still are. I hear the new hot spot for coyotes is up around Cottonwood and Seligman.
Maybe that's why when you make your monthly trips to Arizona, you always end up in that area, and have never come down to visit me?
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on April 18, 2007, 09:32 PM:
But, I'm going to. Count on it. LB

I know you have too many coyotes Tim B.or you would'nt be filling the holes with ashes, those ashes must help keep the mange away.

That hole I see in TA's photo does not appear to have been used for quite some time. Looks like a washed out hole in a terrace maybe?

TA, I'm just curious, there is a fair amount of CRP here, but I've never seen anyone burn it in the spring.
Why do they burn it in Minnesota?

Lonny,
I didn't have anything enrolled in the CRP program, but I always tried to burn my pastures in Indiana every 2-3 years.
It helps to keep out the multifloral rose, Blackberry and Raspberry bushes, and Sassafras and hickory trees that try to take root and choke out a field. It also cleared out the dried brush that had choked out a field in years past, so that the cattle would have more grazing land.
I'd burn them in February or March. After the Spring rains had started, but before the April winds. The moisture would stick in the wooded areas, so if I was busy putting out a fire at one end of the field, the fire died out or didn't spread as fast on the other side of the field.

Tim, I can't believe you were burning out Blackberry bushes? When it comes to Blackberries I'm kind of like Bubba..."Blackberry cobbler, Blackberry pie, Blackberry muffins, etc."
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on April 19, 2007, 08:29 PM:
You need to visit coastal Washington, Brad. Blackberries everywhere.
Posted by Brad Norman (Member # 234) on April 19, 2007, 08:43 PM:
Leonard, I had no idea coastal Wahington had such a great blackberry crop. My wife has been begging me to take her on a trip. What do you think about us flying out to meet you and then driving up the coast to pick some? I'll bring the baskets.
Edited to say, "Maybe ol' 3 Toes will meet us?"

A trip? To pick berries?
Apparently you have mistaken me for someone else!
I'm pretty sure I have better things to do than pick berries. I'd rate that right up there with turkey hunting or washing my pickup.

I'm with Cronk, doesn't look like a den hole to me , your pups should be in the ground.
Posted by Rich (Member # 112) on April 20, 2007, 03:38 PM:
Randy Roede,
The coyote most likely ran in to very first hole he came upon. Coyotes in that area need somewhere to hide, and they learn or die. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Den Hole-Huffing: definition per 2dogs.........
The act of putting your head inside of a den or hole in the ground and inhaling the "odor" to tell what type of animal may be inhabiting said hole.
He advises breathing thru the nostrils and then thru the mouth. With this method you can get the particulate matter going full bore directly to your olfactory senses.
I have never tried and will never try this method of ID'ing the resident of a hole in the ground. You can give it a go and I'll be patiently waiting at my desktop for the results!
Let the huffing begin! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

I've seen a den hole or two, yea Rich a hidey hole maybe. Rich back in the day, what did ya use to get them out of holes, I've wired them, smoked em, dug em out, heard of guys using a garden hose with a ball of barb wire to push them out of flow tubes, we used either sections of 2X2 10 footlengths bolted together with a half moon end with nails in it or sections of conduit with a plate on the end.Had a guy one time who hauled soft water in a tanker truck hunting fox with us, fox went down the hole he went and got the truck, its below freezin,filled it with water, dumped the whole load in the hole never saw the fox LOL. Roman candles when in flow tubes, bottle rockets, cracker shells, etc. Saw a guy pour five gallons of gas in a hole in the summer and throw a match in it.KABOOM!!! Saw another pour gas in it light it and pups come out on fire and about burn down the prairie. Another time we had a coyote in a flow tube and a guy had his bowlin balls in his truck so he got this bright idea to go to the high side and roll it through, didn't work!!! You might be a redneck!!!!

Randy Roede,
To be real honest, I never did get involved with wiring out animals or anything like that. Back when I was in grade school, I knew some kids that wired rabbits out of holes, but I just never did it. Only thing I remember clearly is when I was in 7th grade, I was walking home from school when I saw a squirrel tail sticking out of a hole in a dead tree. This hole was about ten or twelve feet up from the ground, and there were no branches to aid in the climb. I shimmyed up there and grabbed that squirrel tail and pulled. Luckily, the tail pulled right off of the squirrel and squirrel stayed in the hole. I had the tail though. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)
LOL
