Successful weekend coyote calling

[clayton86]

Spent the weekend coyote hunting with my buddy. We do the NYS contest every year came in tied for second this year so it went to total weight and we won by 30lbs. My first time out all season after getting hit by a F150 at work busting me all up.

Congrats

Yeah it felt great to get out. Waiting for all this ice and snow to go away so I can fish. We had to keep all the stands close to where we parked the truck since walking through snow was kinda tricky I still have a pretty good limp that who knows if it will ever go away it has been getting better though till I’m tired or been working it a lot walking.

Wow that’s interesting.  A coyote tournament.  I’ve got some farm land that’s got a zillion of them.  What time of day do you hunt them?

[clayton86]

We start at sun down and hunt till sun up but we have thermal scopes and night vision on our guns and scan with thermal scanners. During the day works also some states don’t allow night hunting. Our season closes at the end of the month. Heck Saturday night we didn’t go right out even though it was dark but it was snowing bad good and even with thermal it’s hard to see through the snow and even harder with night vision.

I used to know a guy that put a caged chicken in a field to attract them and he had a night scope and silencer on his rifle.  I don’t think it was legal but he got rid of a lot of coyotes.

@clayton86 Glad to see you're doing better man. Does this mean you should be jacking some jaws here once the snow melts?

Oh yeah I’ve been buying a ton of new gear for fishing to use this season being stuck home and not working or able to do much has been painful on the wallet lol. Even that coyote hunt was my first time out all year I managed a few duck hunts before the accident but missed all of deer season and late duck. The coyote spots were all park and short walks like 50yards across flat level terrain.

@clayton86 glad to know you are on the mend. A friend told me the best part about recovery is taking it easy till you don't have to anymore. 

[clayton86]

@Gundog Yeah it’s killing me not being able to be out doing stuff or working but I think I’ll be cleared to work again soon. PT is done and I seen my neurologist earlier in the week and they are don’t with me also said I don’t need to be seen again. Few more doctors to see in a week like 3 in one day and I’m sure they will all fee the same since I’m bouncing back rather fast considering the condition I was in

Did you have to have a nerve conduction study?

[clayton86]

@J Francho not that I can remember since being out of coma. 

[J Francho]

They’re awful. 

You’d have remembered it. They probably couldn’t with the broken bones. 

[clayton86]

@J Francho idk I don’t even remember taking a F150 at 50mph to my side lol. That’s like the only thing I’m dealing with from the accident is my memory is shot my body has healed and bounced back good it’s my mind that still struggles but I guess thats normal to how I was lol

That's a shame about your memory. I hope you didn't forget about that $50 you owe me. ??
