[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2734615, member: 91783"] I got a call one evening to see if I would locate for the helicopter the next morning. They gave me a specific time that they wanted me to be there and start howling for some reason instead of the normal locate then call us on the radio. So, I got there at 4:30 waited till my 5:00 start time they had set, I had an old male setting in a draw maybe 200 yards in front of me open up then up the draw a few pups started talking. Behind me I could hear a couple of them talking probably a mile away but that was where the rancher was supposed to be. I heard the chopper coming it was slightly off course to where he said to meet him, so I jumped in my truck ran it up on a hill pointed it toward the helicopter and flashed my lights at him, he headed my way, so I put him on the coyote's location. He got the old male and a couple of the pups but the rest of them hit the den hole. He came in and I told him I would head out to another location 15 miles away and locate a couple that had gotten run off by deer does with fawns the day before as they were coming to my howls. And sent him to where the others had talked and the rancher. I got out to the other location and got set up behind a ridge, climbed over it through a saddle and got myself positioned howled a long lone howl and just watched the pair sat up on a small rock pile down the draw over a mile away, they just sat there not saying a word or moving, I heard him coming my way and watched them start running down the draw. I put him on the location that I had last seen them, but he was on the wrong fork of the draw I got him stopped and over the correct branch of the draw. He flew down the draw crossed a two-lane highway and was maybe half a mile past it when I heard a shot then another couple of shots. He landed and checked them it was a dry pair then he comeback set down and asked me did you really see those coyote or were you just guessing that they were there. They had run over a mile after hearing the chopper coming. That made me think that I had earned my pay for that day because if I hadn't been there, they would have gotten away again. They got two pairs down where the rancher was, and I went back to take the other 3 pups from the den. I had already taken the female from that den a few days earlier. [/QUOTE]
