Author Topic: 1st time hearing a coyote respond huntress Knows what it's all about Member # 322 posted July 05, 2004 12:50 PM                   Hello all. Well last night I got my first taste of coyote calling. I went out with Bryan to do some ‘howling’ that evening. I’ve herd coyotes howling, yelping..etc. But it was the first time I’ve heard someone use a caller and have a coyote talk back. The first call, Bryan let out a howl, a few actually. We sat for a few minutes, listened… and then heard some coyotes yelping. I was sooo amazed and fascinated. Then we went further up the road and he let out another howl. Then we got some more coyotes talking back. We did it again 2 more times at different spots and got a response each time, I was in ‘awe’ I couldn’t believe that blowing out of a man made noise maker that you could actually converse with the coyotes. Bryan explained to me the different kinds of noises the coyotes make and their different howls and what each one meant. We never saw one, or never intended to shoot one. But just being able to communicate with them was enough for me. But I am soo looking forward to being able to shoot one. Bryan said I was just getting a ‘small taste’ of coyote hunting last night. I’m truly excited about learning the ways of coyote hunting, and am eager to learn more. Thank you Bryan for being a great teacher.

Let me see if I understand this, You + Bryan + Howling = Coyotes, right? Just kidding dear... I heard all about it today! Sounds like you had a great introduction into the world of coyotes. Just have a blast Huntress! -------------------- Sheri L Baity Lord, Please give me peace, because if you give me strength, I might beat someone to death!

I always have to wonder if I am howling, and hearing a responce from other hunters, thinking I am a coyote too! LOL Bryan is a good guy, and I never would have stuck with coyote hunting, and especially howling without his help and encouragement. Have fun, dead critters or not.

Member # 7 posted July 05, 2004 02:43 PM                       Huntress, Bryan "told" me that you and he were going out to talk to the wolves last night. I hope he said hello to you for me. Any friend of Bryan's is a friend of mine. I just wish all you pretty ladies would talk my pretty wife into liking coyote calling. She just tolerates my addiction. I've got a good friend that has called critters for years, but never learned or bothered to use howling on coyotes. He was with me this past season, late one night, when I became engaged with a verbal pissin' match with a big alpha dog. Never did manage to get the thing to offer a shot, but my friend was absolutely thrilled at being able to listen to that coyote and me go back and forth giving one another the red ass. It certainly does open the door to an entirely new dimension in calling wildlife. -------------------- I am only one. But still, I am one.

Just add a shot of cheap perfume to your collar just before you get home next time.

The first group I believe was just pups around a den that answered with a group yip howl lots more yips than howls. We drove up the road a little ways and I think we may have found the breeding pair, they started right in with treat barks from down wind. Huntress chose the next place and we got a standard group yip howl that sounded like there may have been some mature coyotes joining in. I knew there would be coyotes in the last canyon there always have been, the first coyote responded with a lone howl then another joined in and eventually escalated to a group yip howl and another group joined in further down the canyon. Not a bad night of locating. Lots more fun than dinner and a movie any day! Have you ever seen a five-year-old’s eyes light up when Santa crashes the family Christmas party? That is the best way that I can describe what I saw on Huntress’s face when those coyotes started threat barking. I can’t wait to see her face when one has come charging through the stand. I could see the eyebrows coming up when she said that I taught her what the howls MEAN. LOL We were fortunate enough to hear several different howls in a relatively short time frame some were on the aggressive side and others were not, and to her credit she was able to recognize the difference. CW, Lance didn’t say it so I will. Sheri, Sheri, Sheri….. Krusty, these were defiantly coyotes unless Rich and Tyler went along way for a prank!

Well that definitely explains the aggressive returns... from them defiant coyotes! LOL Sorry but that sic was too easy to make a joke, and too hard to pass up!

I try to keep you out of trouble and now you want to be the, SPELING POLICE. If I turned them loose, they'd be ruthless. Byron most likely meant to call you a "Stupid Liberal " which isn't a form of disrespect, per se. You guys keep it quiet, I'll be on the road for a few days. Good hunting.

BRYAN J... not Byron South, okay? Besides I can link ya to where Byron said he thought I was smart on another board. He's flip flopping on the issue for sure! Bryan, It's all good! And we've discussed the "interpretation of vocalization" enough times, that you know how funny the way I read it struck me. It's nice to hear you have someone to go out calling with that is so stoked for it, I always liked climbing with new climbers, for that same infectious excitement... it's impossible not to have a good time, with a partner like that. Huntress, You have no idea how jealous I am that you have so many vocal coyotes to talk to!

Thanx for the encouragement. I’m definitely looking forward to this September.

It's one of my favorite places in Utah. After driving up long curvy canyon,you wouldnt expect to see a huge lake that runs into Idaho at the top huh? Some good elk hunting up Logan canyon though!!

Did you ever draw that coveted elk tag while you were living down there? I hear that they grow ‘em big in those parts and have seen some pictures of some nice ones out of that area.

So I guess that was my once in a lifetime great tag, because I haven't drawn anything really good since. I still have a couple of acres there in Monroe, but haven't been there for several years. -------------------- Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for lunch.

Wait until Bryan calls one up to spitting distance. Krusty, I was trying to be nice on the other board, when I said your a smart guy. I won't make that mistake again. I now think your just annoying. You may think it is ammusing. I don't, and don't wish to play these games with you, so please drop it and grow up. Your just making yourself look like a moron. Read the last sentance real close. I apologize to every one else, and especially you Huntress for intruding on this otherwise positive thread. Can't wait to hear about your next outing with the coyotes and Bryan .

Love that country. I've posted the story of having to spend a week bowhunting with no groceries - that's where we were on that trip. Seen some amazing bulls up there! And missed a couple monster bucks too. Jumped a buck out of his bed, last time I hunted up there, that I did not get a shot at. Biggest buck I've ever seen. He jumped up and started to stot off, actually bounced back a couple steps when his antlers didn't fit between two quakies. He instantly tilted his head and went through, and was gone. But it gave me a yardstick to use. My bow at that time was 44" long, and holding it up between those two trees, I figure that buck HAD to have been at least 40". My partner Tim put in for that elk tag about 15 years in a row, never drew it of course. - DAA -------------------- "Oh yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom, but they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em." -- George Hanson, Easy Rider, 1969.

Have some great video of some very respectable Bulls, but no big Bucks to speak off. Came across a guy up there last year who pulled a Muzzleloader tag for Elk and shot a little 5 point. Stopped to talk to him and as we were standing there, a very nice and tall 6X walked across the field just 100yrds away. The guy was just besides himself. Really didn't know the quality of bulls in the area. Live and learn. Dave..every year I remember you telling me about that 40" and pray to catch up with one of his relatives. Don't think the Mulies are what they use to be down there...but it is definetly some beautiful country. Posts: 26 | From: Sandy, UT | Registered: Jan 2003  |  IP: Logged
