[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1910181, member: 91783"] I was out one morning in June of 2002 locating for the chopper . I was up on top of a ridge and was just glassing the meadow below as the sheep and lambs were grazing toward me . There setting on a hill not 100 feet from the herd was a coyote just setting there like a sheep dog watching them graze as well . The chopper flew by on it's way in to the headquarters to pick up the gunner . The coyote jumped up and ran but not knowing I was there watching it , it only ran a few hundred yards and stopped . Laid down and caught it's breath . I called the chopper in and got it on the coyote . When I got down to pick up the coyote it wasn't much bigger then a big red fox . She was a two year old . Some of the guys didn't bother to look for the dens they just flew for the adults saying that the pups would die . I had killed her mate the day before and knew where the den was so went and took it . She had four pups that were about 8" high at the shoulders most of them would have lived with out her or the mate as they were already weened . The ranchers I was working for wanted to be sure that she got killed fast and knew that I had the den located so wanted to fly for her and some others that I knew where they were at . We took two more pairs that morning as well as the dens . So five adults and 19 pups that day saved a lot of lambs for fall sale . [/QUOTE]
