This was the first weekend since last November that I have had the chance to get out to hunt. As Murphys' Law would have it I came down with the flu last week and was sure that I would have to pass up going out again. Well this morning my energy levels were up a little and I thought " I have to get at least one stand in today." So off I went around 11am.
Temp was around -12 with very little wind. After walking about 1 km I set up along some farm land with my back to a wooded area. I had a nice view of the land and had the wind to my back. Picked up the Raspy Rabbit call and had a go at it. Dogs from a few farms in the distance were the first to respond and a few crows came around but that was all I saw. After about 30 mins I moved to another spot about 1km further upwind and gave it a go again. Since this was my very first calling stand I was not expecting to see much but it sure was nice to get out there and try.

Wowwwwwwwwww

Your pictures make me feel like if I live in the Caribean Sea...

And between november and march there is a loooong time without hunting !!!!!!!

You canucks must be tough people to live and hunt in those conditions

Good luck next time with your yote.

Good post. I can appreciatte the flu thing. My coyote calling has improved immensely by going to a howler. My sequence now is to initiate with mouse squeeks which I make with my mouth.Never underestimate the hearing of coyotes. Those little squeeks will bring in coyotes within 500 yards plus better than anything else. Next I will go through one series of calls with the rabbit in distress thing. Then after a few mi nutes I will begin to use the howler in short single yips,occasionally doubly yips and a short yip yip yahoooo. Give it a try and happy hunting
