What are crossings, how do you find them, how many crossings can you watch in one day, and how much time do you spend watching each?

Do the dogs see the coyote before they're released?

A coyote will almost always follow a path of least resistance and use an area that affords him to use his greatest assets...his senses and speed. Thusly, they tend to use open areas to travel between hunting locations. Open pasture land, wheat fields, and such.

With a little planning you can watch several at once.... the name of the game is also covering alot of ground . Generally, you don't have to wait very long if an area is holding coyotes. I also will use a 'howler' in the pre-dawn as a locator. Step out and 'howl' and mark the replies on a map. Gives me a ballpark idea.

I wait until the dogs have locked on the coyote before I release 'em. Many times they see it before I do. So I spend alot of time watching them in the rear view mirror.:)

Thanks for posting it. The pics are interesting and revealing. How is the coyote located in the first place?

The coyote is located by simply watching crossings , Dan.

can you make a video next time ?

I've honestly never thought about it, bro... I'll look into that.

No real damage, LB...it looks worse than it is . Very rarely to I have to do any stitching.Best way to avoid it is to not run to many dogs and get there soon after the catch to keep 'em from playing tug of war.

And not a bit of mange or blue on any of 'em...all destined for auction.:)

A few more....

BTW...the first pic is the first one we caught. You can see the blue gyp and red stag closing in on it . Pretty rare to see that let alone get a pic right as they are getting ready to make the catch . Coyote is just a length in front of them.

Had some cool clear weather roll in and a little time on my hands...so I swung by a buddy's house grabbed his dogs ( mine are being leased to the USDA/OK Dept of Ag.) and headed out for some races .Got some good ones and had a total of 7 catches....pics look worse than it actually is. It's over pretty damn quick.

spearos---I know I had a good time at the first meeting at Dan's house.Thanks Dan
This thread is a is about a spearfishing club meeting, so at our first meeting we discussed rules and after several beers decided that the first rules of the club were;
1. No rules
2. No rules
3. No rules <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Officers were elected from those that were NOT there.
If you did NOT show you were probably elected to club President, Vise Pres., Clerk, etc
If you did NOT show you were probably elected onto a committee <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

I'll probably be gone for 10 months , thats the bad part , but anyways that kind of time goes pretty fast , and I'll be back in no time.

Where are you going ?

Quote from monster slayer

Shhiit Aaron, an air rifle, I love that stuff, beemans are british Rifles right? I would like to have a Beeman Kodiak Rifle, WTG!!

I think they are owned by Beeman in Britain, but from what I have gathered from Limey buddys is that they are not as high qulity as the ones sold in the UK. Biggest complaint is the trigger , bad triggers on 'em .

But then again, in the UK where you cannot have an air rifle over 12 ft lbs. , precision shooting is the name of the game.

Do squirrels have enough yield to bother with?
