[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1963149, member: 91783"] In 1981 I was still really wet behind the ears when it came to coyote ( and still learning to this day) . An older trapper and den hunter called me to see if I wanted to go look for pair that were killing .I jumped at the chance . We met at his shop in the morning got our stuff loaded in his jeep then headed out for the ranch . We started at the pasture with the lamb killing going on in it to start our tracking and sign reading . A walk around the water hole told me they were coming to drink from the north west for water . Walking some of the draws in that direction showed they were hitting one draw going and coming into the lambs . Several more draws walked out told us they were now moving more westerly . We stopped for our lunch while we were eating Merlin ask me so where is it that you think the den is . I told him in that rough stuff to the west in the next pasture . He then ask how is it you come to think that . My reply was that's what their tracks say even when they move on different trails they are coming and going in that direction . We went into that pasture about an 1/8 mile there on a south facing cut bank standing out like a sore thumb was the den . The pups had been out playing and had the grass mashed down around the hole for a radius of at least 10 feet . The old pair was traveling 3 miles to the lambs one way and eating only the soft parts , lungs , liver and stomach full of milk to take back to the pups . We looked the area over and figured that the adults might be in a draw to the north about 30 feet away . Using a Criter call standard Merlin let out some puppy squeaks . The old male popped out of the draw in front of me with anger showing in his yellow eyes . I shot him we then took 8 pups out of the den with barbed wire . I got experience , Merlin got 500 dollars , the rancher stopped loosing lambs I think we were all happy except maybe the female coyote . [/QUOTE]
