Well, now that we have Williams out of the way, who is coming to St. Francis? I have heard that I will be there, Higgins I think, Jerry Hunsley, and Kevin Lukens. Jerry Hunsley said he was bringing me a call (cool), Kevin has got me a couple, and Higgins hinted that he might get me one someday, but I haven't seen it yet. Thats really the only reason I go to these damn things is to beg calls off of call makers. I wish Rich Cronk would show up once in a while, or Jay. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Ya I will be thear. I hope to see every one again.
Now lets hear a really good plug for all those free calls. Now you know that thay have to be really high on the list to keep receving them and I think mine should be TOP! (Just kidding) I hope you like the little things I have built them out of intrest of the sport and the fun only. You know the old saying if you dont like them tell ME If you like them tell every one else. I havent herd from rich latly I hope he and Tyler will be thear Last year I herd a nasty rumer that Tyler and Locohead wear going to teem up for the event. That would be cool Loco is always a kick to be around too.
Good Hunting Kevin

Tyler will be hunting with me at St. Francis this year.
Cal, my source for horns dried up. A young fellow at the campout told me he would send me five or so very nice ones but I haven't heard from him yet.

Do you think a guy needs to reserve a room now? What are your thoughts. What do you other guys do?

Cal,
You'll really like that call of Jerry Hunsley's,I've got one and have been using it quite a bit this year and have been having great luck with it.I think those coyotes like how high the pitch is or something.Very easy to use to.Good Luck in St.Francis Good Hunting Chad
By the way hows that .204 ruger working out for you?

Cal Taylor,
Don't send Higgins that buffalo horn unless he agrees to fit it with a decent mouthpiece and reed. You and I both know that rubber bands ain't gonna cut it in the real world. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

UT, I like my 204 so far. I've killed 12 or 15 coyotes with it now with no problems. They seem to be dead shortly after I shoot them. I have a couple shots that I want to try just for my own curiosity, but I haven't got around to it. I haven't yet shot one in the shoulder and I want to see how that goes. I have figured out that if you shoot low in the chest (heart shot) they will run just a little and if you hit center line of the chest, they just go stiff and fall over. Oh, and I shot one in the head and he fell over also.
Rich C. I want a really pretty elk bugle. Higgins knows that I am die hard on open reed howlers, but a guy just can't have too many toys.
Jerry, We may get a room for the last night in St Francis, but the rest of the time we will be staying alot closer to where we are hunting. Last year we really didn't even need a room since we practically drove all night both nights of the contest. We did stop and get a couple hours sleep and a shower. This year we are hunting much closer and may get a full nights sleep!

Cal,
Good to hear you're having good luck with the .204.I've hit one in the front shoulder,and it was alittle messy,but went through the bone and anchored the coyote.My experience is like you have said,all the frontal chest shots have been bang/flops,they just go stiff,with a little .20 caliber hole no exit.Most Broadside shots have been the same except I've hit acouple high in the back that were anchored but were not dead when I got up to them,had to shoot them with a .22 pistol.I did hit one in the lower jaw(moving through the brush) that I thought was a good hit,it just folded when I shot.But when I got to it,it was trying to get up,probably just knocked him silly.lol But shot him with the pistol to.But overall it has done a great job on coyotes so far.Good Hunting Chad

Tyler and I were going to partner up last year but all of the hunting spots filled up for the first time in years. We didn't get registered in time.
Tyler and I considered teaming up this year for the hunt. But there was a contingency!
Sorry fellas, I couldn't find permisson for any locked gates. LOL
I will be there and plan on hunting this year.
I look forward to seeing you there Kevin and hearing many more of GREAT stories.

Cal Taylor,
You were victim of my ornery tricks again. I'm sure that Higgins can build you a dandy Elk bugle.
Good luck on your St. Francis hunt.

By golly Rich, I heard that old Mert was trying to get you to go to St. Francis. Any truth to the rumor?

Cal,
Yes, I just talked to Mert about that again today. My luck just don't seem to change. I'm almost healed up after the gall bladder surgery,but now I am swallowing horse pills to fight a bad sinus infection. If I get healed up good enough to make the trip,I may just be there.
Now for the BAD news Cal. "Jeremy Kansas" hopes to be there with a new super winner of a call.

I hope you included the sinus infection with that call Rich. They have too good of country to hunt healthy. They need a little sinus infection to slow them down so the rest of us have a chance.

Geordie, I'm in no rush. Steve and Cal may be.
Cal, bring the buffalo horn to St. Francis and I'll take a look at it. You may want to wait on a nice cow horn.

Cal,
I will give this sinus problem to anyone who wants it. You interested? Come on man, it's really fun walking around feeling like your head is blown up like an oversized baloon.

Wish i could come boys some day i will make it down there. But i will not donate my money if Cal and Cenny AND Rich and Tyler are coming its just a losing battle for me
I wish some of you guys would come up to Dickinson for the "Classic" and we could see what kind of men you really are LOL
I shot a 204 all of last year and then bought one in the spring. I'm really impressed so far i haven't had the oppurtunity to tip one over at a longer distance yet though 300-350 to see how it does.

I'll be there Cal, but I'm not bringing you any calls. I may bring you a Bud Light or two.
It looks like I'll be doing all that driving you did last year. It's a good thing I'm young!
You and Cenny need to plan on staying Sunday night. I'm sure we can find something to do.

Jeremy KS,
After you win the St. Francis contest, I would like to see a photo of this call on top of that winning pile of dead coyotes.
