Title: Where did the coyotes go???
Post by: demontang on December 12, 2010, 08:12:49 PM: So I havnt seen hide or hair of a coyote for a week but the one I saw at night. I haven't seen any fresh tracks or sign where it's been like a highway before. I've had some howl from a distance but not seen them.

Post by: 204chucknorris on December 13, 2010, 08:52:04 PM: I went to a spot tonight that the dogs answer usally quickly to the howl and not even a peep! Drove by another area that I seen 7 a week ago and nothing, not even tracks in the mud? The onyl thing I can figure is weather or maybe their shopping for x-mas![img] :chuckle: Now the trick is to fins their wal mart and then I'm back in business!

Post by: VarmintVentilator on December 16, 2010, 08:25:28 PM: Around my area, you can here them howl between 10pm and 4am. Once it starts getting light, they are dead quiet. Hope to get out Saturday and convince one or two to come say hi and quit being so snobish.
Title: Re: Where did the coyotes go???
Post by: demontang on December 18, 2010, 06:32:30 PM: So went out today and saw nothing. No new tracks anywhere to be found and nothing came to my called but a bunch of birds.
Title: Re: Where did the coyotes go???
Post by: Jerry malbeck on December 19, 2010, 11:29:17 PM: Looks like they are pairing up . I went to a ranch today and did a lot of walking and driving the roads on virgin snow .
The tracks i did see indicated more doubles traveling then singles .
Time to get out the howlers.
The tracks I saw indicated they are traveling a lot on the night shift as most tracks i cut were hours old .
I called a few stands and saw nothing , not even a Magpie .

Post by: PolarBear on December 19, 2010, 11:31:29 PM: The one I tried to get today was howling his head off right at daylight and he was all alone. I think he was looking for a buddy.
