I thought Predator & Prey folded up? I saw an issue today on the newsstand. It had a picture of a bobcat on the front. I thumbed through it and it looked a lot more fancy than the last one I saw.
Good hunting.

i only find stores that stock predator and prey sporadically. i only have a couple of issues of it. too much woodchuck and prairie dog stuff in it for me.

Like Samuel Clemens, apparently the rumors of their demise were greatly exaggerated.

I would like to come Leonard, I really would but I just have too many irons in the fire. Every year it gets worse. Hope you guys have a ball. I will look forward to all the pictures and stories.
I was actually going to buy the copy Lance but I made the mistake of flipping to the article that peeked my interest called “How to become a pro fox hunter’ or something along those lines. It was no more that an interview with Glen Guess. LMAO This pampas ass know it all had seen enough.
It was a nicely put together magazine for sure but it is magazine for “yote” hunters by “yote” hunters. Need I say more? LOL
Good hunting.

Leonard,
Not to slight Q in any way, but we have another famous hold-out. Unless I missed his reply, Utah's most famous gun nut, has yet to post his intentions to join us.
I'm prepared to fight dirty if I need to, Maybe we need to seek his wife's permission?

What about that, Dave? Huh?
Posted by smithers (Member # 646) on September 07, 2006, 06:14 PM:
the do-rag was their fox pro? i actually saw the issue at meijer today and thumbed thru it. the fur price guide was interesting and other than that they look to be selling more ad space.

Well that was plain enough. I guess I am back in the guppy class.Looks like I need to send Rich another "C" note to rewrite my bio.

Ronnie, Rich doesn't know what to do with them, just send those C notes to me.
As for the camp out, I thought you told me a while back that you were going to try to make it this year, if your health allowed?
Posted by varmit hunter (Member # 37) on September 08, 2006, 04:58 PM:
Going to do my best Tim. May have to come in on of them aluminum square box trucks.

Hell, Ronnie. I had no idea that you would be up to it? You have access to thew campout forum. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
Speaking of which....guess who showed up at my door today? Loco; Danny Gevarra and his whole troop, wife and five kids. Nice people. Headed towards Barstow.
Good hunting. LB
Posted by Kokopelli (Member # 633) on September 09, 2006, 06:51 AM:
Barstow????....If they're nice people, why did you let them go to Barstow instead of sending them up 395 to Kennedy Meadows??

I got bored and took a look on PA. You know, kinda like those guys like to do, read something and report back to start a thread. I can see how they get a kick out of it!! Cept, Im not doing it to get my ass patted and heal my ego. Just out of shear boredom. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Yall outta check out "Good Morning". Our hero, the pro fox hunter, team hammerdog, the man with his own fan club has killed a bobcat and a coyote!! Complete with hero shots, doo rag and shades!! Oh, and he was sittin on a hog feeder at the time. Great job GG, now go throw em in the ditch and get back after them.
I see BS is posting hero shots too....
And, it seems they have their own resident ADC man now too. Hes giving logic as to where all the yotes have gone and if you see skinny house cats, you have a good coyote population. Good info.
Sorry, couldnt help myself. Im sick as a dog and bored to tears.

Andy L, did you notice that the replies were mostly, "yeah, uh, great job. where'd you get the camo?" pictures of people with their kill is so yesterday. moving pictures and decoy cows is where it's at.
i've trapped three raccoons and two feral cats in the last 3 weeks, just behind the house. i'm trying to rid the neighborhood of some very avid garbage tippers. it's not quite ADC work but the coyotes aren't doing their part. they must be busy eating all the deer.

How about a link to this stuff, Andy, I'm bored also? edit: what's PA?

Varmint Hunter, Is there a chance that you could come up with the sight and the extra names? A guy could have some fun with that one.
Posted by Cdog911 (Member # 7) on September 10, 2006, 03:19 PM:
Cal's been waiting for this one. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

I knew this guy was a clown but not that big of one. Well even a do-rag wearing squirrel gets a nut every once in awhile.

The doo-rag wearing celebrity has been published in four magazines in the last month. He's been on TV and a number of videos. He's Pro Staff for several outfits. He's a field rep for even more. He's won awards for deer that he's taken as has his wife and kids. He rubs elbows with some of the more well known celebrity hunters in the world. Videographers call him when they need to be assured of getting plenty of animals on film and guides call him to put their clients on plenty of game. Can you see what the rest of us are missing yet? That's right! Get yourself a doo-rag and shades. For $29.99 I can set you up with your own authentic G?G autographed doo-rag and shades ensemble. Don't be the only kid on the block to miss out on this valuable offer. Get yours today and grow up to be just like him.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - anyone can call chickens in a hen house. Bring him up here this January and let's see how that doo rag does. Several of the most respected and experienced callers I know have struggled to pull fur in KS, doo rag or not.
Posted by doggin coyotes (Member # 914) on September 13, 2006, 07:44 PM:
I've never actually hunted or called for coyotes IN Kansas, but I've called quite a bit in extreme eastern Colo. which I pretty much consider to be Kansas. There always seemed to be lots of coyotes and they always responded well to calls. Just wondering why you say it's so hard to kill coyotes in Kansas?
Posted by Cdog911 (Member # 7) on September 13, 2006, 09:45 PM:
I've called eastern Colorado, western Kansas, and live in northcentral Kansas where I do almost all my calling. Based upon my own personal experience, western KS and eastern CO share a lot of similarities. Neither is like Kansas from I-35 east. The world changes when you hit Salina, thus the reason that most callers will not call the area where I live because it is just way too hard to produce decent numbers. The coyotes are there and in decent numbers. But, they're harassed by every imaginable form of hunting early on and become extremely difficult to coax out by Christmas. It can be done, but you won't be taking home a lot of fur in just a day or two of calling. Seen it tried by some of the best and I have yet to see any of those guys call even one coyote.
Posted by doggin coyotes (Member # 914) on September 14, 2006, 05:16 AM:
I agree with ya Cdog, eastern Co., western KS pretty much one in the same.
So you're saying west of I-35 the problem is more due to alot of hunting pressure? More callers, guys running em with greyhounds, basically alot more guys hunting coyotes in general?
Posted by Cdog911 (Member # 7) on September 14, 2006, 06:37 AM:
No. I'm saying that about east of I-35. Western Kansas is mixed and short-grass prairie. A few trees, but not like eastern Kansas where you have tallgrass prairie and deciduous forests.
Just west of Salina, you leave the Smoky Hills and enter the Solomon and Smoky Hill River basins. Flat as a tabletop for about six miles and primarily farmground. Hit Solomon, fifteen miles or so east of Salina and you start to see an abundance of interspersed pasture ground, especially to the north. Go another thirty miles east and you hit the Flint Hills which is big tallgrass prairie country where the summer grasses can and will grow as tall as twelve feet. If it isn't in pasture or farmground, it's hardwoods (yes, Kansas has trees) and in those areas, coyotes act more "easterly", using the terrain and cover to mask their approach. This area is besieged by hunters in the early season - coyote hunters, dog wagons, upland game hunters, deer hunters - in much greater quantities than west of here, so the coyotes get displaced day after day for better than a month before all that hunting makes them very nervous. Also makes them almost completely nocturnal by mid-December.
In the "day", I remember the first guy to teach me how to call, F. Robert Henderson at K-State, telling me that he rarely attempted to call recreationally east of Salina just because of the level of difficulty in finding consistent success compared to just a few miles further west. I live here and if I want to get into "good calling", I drive an hour west. if I want a challenge, I stick close to home.
Kansas, respective to hunting, is two vastly different worlds Between eastern and western. People-wise, too. Eastern KS is much more urbanized and suburbanized than western Kansas. There's something to be said about keeping a lot of dirt between lightbulbs.
Posted by doggin coyotes (Member # 914) on September 14, 2006, 05:41 PM:
My mistake. I meant to type EAST. Interesting the difference a few miles will make one way or the other sometimes.
Take care.
