[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2578564, member: 91783"] We have been hot and dry for the most part . Pretty much the same as the rest of the U.S. We have had a couple of small fires fortunately not any thing like what some places . The last two days have been in the low 100's here so the animals have been out and about early and late in the day then laying up in the heat of the day . Sunday it was 103 here at 3:00 P.M. and the antelope were all bedded down near watering holes . The livestock were laid up in what shade they could find so I'm thinking that the hunt for predators would have been really hard at the least . This is the type of weather where if you are doing control work you will have a problem with nearly any form of it . Trapping with foot holds the lure will dry out and the scent cone will be small . Calling will be at a different time of the day to be successful but can be done . The young of this year will still be cautious so if you use coyote vocalizations you will want nonaggressive ones . Lamb blats , fawn blats ect. will work at the right time of the day on the older as well as the younger predators . The calling locations will need to be pretty close to where the animals are bedded down as well . being quiet as you move in to call is very important as well .
