Wish the weather was like it was last week , This warm weather is going to make calling a little harder then usual :bash:, Im hoping we will have some luck and get some good footage .
We will be filming for the next season of FoxPro,s FurTakers.
Im looking forward to hunting with Al, Im hoping to learn a trick or two from a world calling champion .
-
Sweet wish I had the time to get out more and meet some more great predator hunters.
-
Jerry, keep us posted how the hunting went. Al seem to have a pretty good sense of humor.
-

Al and Andrew ( camera man) left this morning , We hunted friday thru this morning and fought hot weather and strong winds but still got the job done . Today was the best weather all throughout the hunt and the coyotes still shut down after about 10 A.M. Ill write up a full hunt report when i get a chance , Im beat and have to go to work in the morning so ill save the details for now . Info to come soon , Jerry .

Glad you got some yotes. Any idea of when it will be on the TV?
-
I look forward to your report!

:yeah:

Ill tell you, Al , Andrew and i had to work hard to get some great footage for the show , but is was a ton of fun even if i were exhausted after the few days they were here .
The HOT temps along with the wind made for some hard calling thats for sure .
I had a great time meeting Al and Andrew . I always thought it was a lot of pressure on the hunter/callers when filming a show , and never gave it much thought about what a camera man has to go thru to get some good footage.
It was amazing what Andrew was able to capture in that lens , Hard chargers, and sneakers.
Think its hard to hunt them ? Try filming a hunt LOL.
I have to say my hat is off to Andrew , he was so ON at all times with that lens it was amazing .
No matter how fast or what direction the coyotes came from he was all over them , He never missed a opportunity to capture the set on film and believe me a couple of those coyotes were hard to capture LOL.
Al was a fun guy to hunt with and as all of you are aware of knows the game very well . He kept calling as long as i wanted and never entertained the thought of giving up no matter how hot or how hard the wind blew .
The only complaint i have about hunting with Al is he walks to danged fast , I couldnt keep up with him ( I guess im getting old) . He may be BIG but he is fleet of foot ill tell ya .
I have a couple of pictures ill post when i get time , still catching up from the hunt and work so it might be a couple of days .
Thanks to foxPro for the opportunity to hunt with one of the best , and to film with a great Cameraman . Andrew , you done good , You and Al are welcome at our door anytime . Jerry , Kerri and Jared . Obe said hello also (Growl )
The three day tally was 6 coyotes , it seemed the only time we could get a responce was first couple of stands in the morning and the last stand at night .Not at all suprised due to the HEAT and wind.Als first washington coyote was kinda cool , We set up on one of my honey holes and just as i was getting ready to start calling a low gutteral howl came from the sage not more then 50 yrds below our set up . It took only a matter of seconds and we had a hard charger coming in to the song i was playing on the Skyote hand call . We ended up getting a double on that set , as we were doing the reenactment and blowing the call for the camera coyote number two came in and ended his day with us . Al took a couple of shotgun coyotes and 250 yarder. I guess im so used to doing guided hunts and setting people in the right place for the shot is why Al seemed to pop all the fur.
Here is a shot of Als ride , kinda hard to hide LOL.

Hey Jerry, Glad to hear everything went ok even though the hot weather had to be kinda tough, hope you're ready for another fun season.
-
It was danged hard work , Looked forward to going back to work to recoup :chuckle:
Looking forward to this season.
My boy Jared is going to be my priority this year , he passed hunter safety and already has 4 under his belt .
He has been my student for 8 years now and has been on a ton of sets with me , he knows the game well and @ 12 years old is quite accomplished.
The first couple of sets i held him back and soon realized i needed to just cut him loose , he knows more then i gave him credit :bash: . Guess he WAS paying attention.
It will be interesting to see just what he does this year .
I also have another friend that i plan to spend a lot of time with this year , This guy has the passion ( deep down to the bone) and i WILL make him a great caller . :tup:
-
You didn't mention that Jared can probably pick out a coyote faster too :chuckle: Those young eyes have a slight advantage once they know what they're looking for.

Sounds like Al and Andrew earns the ranking that they have as coyote getters, by shot and camera. Any idea of when it will be on the tele? Sounds like the boy may give Dad a run for the money for the coyote count this year. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Did you learn any new tricks for wiley?

I was on a stand with Jerry and his son Jared, and Jer allowed as how his son had detected the coyote's approach first. When I surveyed the scene, I estimated that he's watched the approach from 500-600 yards out, against a background that definitely favored the coyote. Jared has a good eye, for sure!
For my own part, I have a ways to go to be good at spotting the coyotes. It takes practice, and you have to keep looking and not get lazy.
