Saturday with temps in the low 20's and the first snow, called in this big male. I am betting it was a 40 pounder. Worn and stained teeth. It always puts a smile on my face when a guy can call in old male that are usually tough to call. Wind and driving snow shortened the day.

That is a pretty coyote. Good pic. Thanks for sharing. We missed the snow by less than 50 miles. It came a little freezing rain early this moring.
I think Im going calling in the morning. Then gonna set some steele tomorrow as well. Im not going to start water trapping yet. Other than I know where I can get a beaver tomorrow night, I think, and I would like to have the meat for bait.
I think the plan is to go calling, then start at the river and make a couple beaver sets, then work my way home settin out a land line. Someting I can build on and eventually end up starting a water line next week. Im gettin the fever pretty bad.

Andy..There is no way I would even consider calling during this circus called deer season. You must have a deer tag and wear orange. And then there are those who think you are in the field to kill THEIR buck. Not for me.
Land trapping is definately out in my area unless you are willing to loose your trap, your catch, or both. Even water trapping on the road right of way, I have received some of the worst ass chewings during deer season. Something about leaving scent which would prevent the deer from crossing the road on their route to a DEER blind. Give me a break.
So land trapping and calling are not on my agenda until deer season is done. And that is the very reason I spend very little time in MO during this time.

Randy, I agree 1000%. However, its doe only now. Most folks are burning out. And, the only reason Im doin this is its all private property and the only deer hunters are the owner and his hands. And thats just if they see one out of the truck while working. I wouldnt dare try public ground or anywhere I think others might be huntin. These guys wont fuck with my sets or catches.
As for the callin, thats more to scratch an itch than anything. I dont know about you, but callin sucks until well after deer seasons are over here. I guess too many gut piles and carcass piles layin around? Along with all the scent.
I feel your pain brother. If it werent for this big tract of well guarded land, I wouldnt attempt it. Im takin my old male dog with me. Besides being a good calling parter, hes seen it all, he is real good at finding canine sets and baiting them for me. He will get real interested, piss and throw grass everywhere. You better make a set there.
Callin kinda sucks in MO anyway. Hell, deer hunters are out for a week and a half of hell called gun season, another two weeks of doe season an another two weeks of muzzy season. Not to mention 5 months of bow season. If it werent for good ground like this, I would say screw it too.

I just can't get too keen on the idea of gut piles and coyotes. Maybe it's just me, but they seem mostly untouched until at least a week old, and then not all of them, by any means. Anybody know different?
But, as far as what Randy was getting at. Deer hunters are among the dumbest assholes in the woods. Basically give legit hunters a bad name.
Good hunting. LB

Elbee, I can enlighten you. We got a place we dump carcass's and sometimes guts not far from here. Actually only a hundred yards from the house.
Anytime we kill a deer, the guts and carcass are eaten and scattered first night. And, you can go out and listen to them raise hell if you want. Lots of challenge barks and howls going on. Especially if we happen to gut one where we find it and put the carcass in the area I mentioned. They will motherfuck each other in coyote language that night, you can bet on it. Funny thing, the carcass will get eaten or drug off. The gut pile, they wont eat the whole thing. Just select cuts, I guess. There is always some left over for the birds the next day.
As for my day, Im not doing shit now. I wasnt informed until this morning, my wifes going shopping. The gal shes going with has a 1 yr old and guess who gets to watch it? ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) I dont know where this kids dad is, but he needs an ass kickin.

All these other topics aside, And I don't know about everyone else, but I'd really like some video footage of Andy cat-herding a one year old for an afternoon. THAT has gotta be some funny chit right there. How many words are you gonna teach that young'un before his mama gets back? That would a a real storm, too. A real chit storm! LOL

A few years ago, when I was at the Ranch and we were killing the heck out of the deer, I started a pile I was gonna call around. I dumped one big bucket, and went back an hour later, and it was completely picked over (basically gone).
About another hour later I drove back out, parked my truck a hundred yards or so short, grabbed my shotgun and snuck my way to the pile... I was more that a little surprised to see three bald eagles and a dozen or so ravens picking through the pile.
The eagles all left with pieces so big I was shocked that they could take flight.
I once read, in the rag Predator Xtreme, about freezing guts in a five gallon bucket, and placing the "meatsicle" out to shoot over since it was too big to be carried off.

Oh yeah, photos... we had our first snow too.
This if from the Enviro-Lab not long before they closed the school.
And this is yesterday morning, doesn't seem like enough snow to cripple the area, does it?
It's raining again, here, and all the snow is gone, but Seattle is still struggling with the after effects of these two storms.

Krusty, kind of a kewl story. Last winter, when I was layed up from the shoulders, my boys were trappin the dead pile by the turkey barns at the neighbors. They caught a bald eagle. They called me and I told them to throw a coat on it and turn it loose. It couldnt fly, so I told them to bring it home.
I called the Conservation and thought this would turn out to be a big deal. Only big deal was the agent, who is a friend, told me to be sure they didnt keep any feathers. The fine for posession was $300 per feather. We put it in a big box and poked holes in it. The agent never showed up, but he sent some guy from a Raptor Recovery Unit at the University of Missouri to come and get it. He asked if I wanted to know what happened and I did. He called me a few weeks ago and said Eddie, the nickname we gave him, had healed completely and was released.
I thought that was pretty kewl. I got some pics somewhere if I can find them.

Yeah, they show up here by the hundreds, maybe thousands, in a few more weeks. Lake of the Ozarks is a big draw for them to winter. When they are generating, lots of dead or stunned fish come through and float. Eagles line the trees on the banks and wait. Its pretty kewl to see.
Obviously, some like turkey compost piles. LOL

Okay, okay. Any state. But consider this. Drive the nonres woods with California plates and just wait to hear the insults and lectures. <sob> They don't like us! And, we could care less about their friggin' deer......or Andy's. Join my little pity party.
Good hunting. LB

Good one Leonard and that reminds me of what happened some years back..
I was doing a job in wyoming that took up most of the summer. The state of Wyoming required that we had to have there lic. plate on our personnel vehicles while we worked in there state.. I got back home that fall and was doing some fox calling around a 40 acre crp field that my cousin owned and as I walked back to the road where my pick-up was I was greeted by one of the local deer hunters.
The deer hunter asked if I had problems understanding the no hunting signs and asked why would I come all the way from wyoming to hunt here. LOL. I explained to him who owned the land and also who put up the signs (me)and kindly told him to fuck off.. I thought it was so funny I left the wyoming plates on my truck till the end of the year... ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
