[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2234001, member: 91783"] In December of 1973 it was cold -10 with a foot or so of snow on the ground . I was home and went outside to set on a wooden bench and listen to the coyote talk to the full moon . Even then I wondered what it was they were saying . You would hear one do a long lone howl then another one would answer and another . Finally they would be closer to each other and then singing their song of being together again . I didn't get to hear them again till April of 1976 when it was snowing and raining but I still went out to hear them in the evening as I had missed them talking . They held a fascination to me even back then and before then . In about 1969 I was working up in Hyshim Mt. there was an older guy there that they just called old Bill who I used to talk to about the coyote when he would come around there . He trapped and snared them every body said he was about as good as you would find at it . Nelson was his last name quite the guy . I had the chance to be around some of the old Government trappers down here in Wyoming back then as well . A lot of them lived and worked out of old cars they would camp in old cabins along the routes they ran . Some of them would run traps and the old 38 shelled coyote getters . I've seen them drill holes in the tubes that held the getters so they could staple them to wooden fence posts to keep them high enough to be out of the snow along cow trails beside the fence lines .
