[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 3081775, member: 91783"] Locating coyotes by listening to them is a lot like locating turkeys by listening to them or hearing a squirrel or a bird up in a tree and locating it, the more you do it the easier it gets. if you are only locating a couple a year it's different then locating several in a couple of months every year. One of the ranchers I worked for asked me to go with him to locate for a plane one morning. We got out to the designated location and when it was time I started howling.
