[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1898348, member: 91783"] Years ago I thought that I would try a dog to decoy coyote . I started out with a blue healer australian shepherd cross . The coyote liked him as a decoy but he was too aggressive to people and when he bite at my daughter we went on a road trip he ended up buried in the prairie . I don't put up with mean dogs . Next I tried a mountain curr he worked good but his real calling was coon hunting we worked well together for some time until he got too old . I got a black mouth curr out of Mississippi she was the best dog I have ever had we worked well together . She had a good disposition and a sense of humor . We'd be out checking snares and she would take off on a dead run cut off to the side of the trail to hide in the brush then tackle me . She did well with the coyote , bobcats and fox . I had her started denning when some one poisoned her in her kennel one night . It took me some time before I wanted another dog but I eventually did get another black mouth curr . I named him Buckwheat . We trapped together until he was 6 months old then I had him started on coyote bobcats and fox . At that time I started letting him work them alive he pretty much trained himself as a calling dog and worked as a good decoy dog . When he was 12 years old we were out one morning in August . I howled and had 5 or six pups answer me Buckwheat was out about a hundred yards as was usual for him . I watched him he went erect looked in the direction of the coyote turned around and came back to me . That wasn't the way he normally did things . When he got back to me he stopped and looked at me his eyes looked sad . He went on up the hill through the saddle and I heard him jump into the back of the truck . I went ahead and got 3 of the coyote then went to the truck . Buckwheat was smart enough to know when it was time for him to retire . We hunted some more together after that but he was done decoying and fighting coyote . He would go out with me but would set beside me or behind me after that . He lived to be 16 . I decided that I didn't want to get that attached to another dog again but then my wife and daughter got a small rescue cross bread chihuahua pug cross .
