[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2219134, member: 91783"] I don't mind the cold it's the wind that bothers me when it's cold and full of snow . Our cold isn't the damp penetrating cold they have in some of the humid areas . A dry cold or heat feels so much different then a damp cold or heat . A few years ago I had taken the old female and pups but hadn't gotten the old male it was late July and hot in the mid 90's by mid morning . He was living in some badlands type stuff that had some deep draws and some bare ground that has a lot of bintnite so when it's wet it sticks to every thing and when it's dry it crumbles and is hard to get any footing on any type of a slope . I knew where there was a spring with a couple of willow trees in this rough stuff and figured that was where he was getting his water from so I slipped in there checked it out and found his tracks in some dust and a sandy bottomed draws . I got in while it was still cool in the morning found me a nice juniper to shade me and waited for him . Around 9:00 I saw him moving in the direction of the spring . He wasn't in any hurry and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary . He wouldn't talk , didn't come to calls and had evaded the plane so he was well trained . I watched him come in to the spring and get him a drink then he did something I had never seen a coyote do before he laid down in some shallow water and just seemed to cool off . He got up after a few minutes and walked over to the small trail he had came in on then stopped looked in my direction as if to tell me he knew I was there . I took the shot at 250 yards and that hard to get smart coyote's carrier was over . I felt relief but at the same time a little remorse he was a worthy opponent . [/QUOTE]
