Slept in a bit this morning, but eventually made it out for a quick hunt. Wind was calm in town, but as usual it was very windy in the hunting area.
Parked the pick-up and walked down a coulee and crawled over an edge 1/4 mile away. Spooked a few deer, but sat down and got ready to call. Before I even got the call out I saw movement about 250 out. There were two yotes trotting right towards me. Once, at about 200 they stopped side-by-side and I thought about a two in one. I was too slow and they kept coming. They both disappeared behind a hill at around 150 and then popped back out at maybe 75. Unfortunately, as soon as the first one came into sight, I was busted and the other didn't show himself. I put the 8th round through my new gun and she was done. The male didn't waste time and was hauling ass, I threw one at him, but he just turned it up. If only I would have had a "terrorist" gun with me.
There were two other coyotes with these two, but at the first shot they burned up the prairie as well.
Tried one other spot, but just too windy. As long as I was out I checked on the critters. Quite a bit of snow up north, but temps aren't too bad. Mapped a few pronghorn winter areas and found some good herds. The two biggest herds were 101 and 103 critters. They look to be in good shape and I hope to find a good one in less than 6 months.
