I've got an old Schwinn Sierra, one of the original Mountain Bikes. Packing a bunch of stuff in on it isn't all that hard........it's packing a big game animal back out that's the neat trick.

Well, if everyone has had their say. I would just point out that I spent a hell of a lot of time and energy trying to stop a coyote with a friggin' lip squeak! Finally convinced; it don't work. Forget it.
These young people today have it made. Geezus, whenI started, you couldn't buy camo anywhere. And, I am not exaggerating. Maybe an odd WWII pattern, but look at what's available today.
I hand built my first portable caller out of a Motorola 8 track. Nowadays, 100 sounds is basic stuff, in a ecaller that looks like the flashlights we used to use for picking up animals at night.
Funny thing is, back then, I was killing a hell of a lot more animals than today. It would be unheard of to see 50 animals a night, these days, but we did. Of course, we only seemed to average 7 killed, but that's nothing to be ashamed of.
I'm just saying, with nobody to turn to, no videos and CD's, it was all trial and error and there were a lot of errors. But still, with all the advantages we have today, the real problem is POPULARITY.
I read stuff in that Predator Extreme rag and a lot of it is/okay be nice. I must be getting old?
Good hunting. El Bee

Up until early 2000 when we got internet, I didn't know anyone hunted them except me and mine.
And Carhart coveralls were all the camo I needed. It was just something else to shoot and I never thought I'd need to know so much to kill a coyote. But you're right, with everyone buying a FP, they have flooded the woods so I make fewer stands that have to be just right and talk up duck hunting in public.

Until a few years ago i would just wear a olive green hooded Carhart coat and jeans, now days i wear a kings camo hoodie, or kings camo coat depending on how cold it is. But still just jeans. I would still be using the carhart coat if i hadn't been given the camo as Christmas gifts.lol
As far as the new wave of e-callers out there they are nice and convient tools that help in alot of different calling situations but honestly i have killed more coyote by along shot with plain ol hand calls than with my foxpro callers.
Good Hunting Chad

I wear those and generally a leafy top. Heck I know a guy who wears blue denim.
