Yes, this one came out into a field to look for the fawn in distress sounds. He came through a fencerow and appeard instantly, standing in a muddy disked field at 100 yards.

I see you got your hands on Larry's ebony fawn call.
That is one beautifull piece of work. I'm looking forward to getting a few myself.

Brad, it is a great little call. It didn't take me long to get the sounds I was after, real easy to blow. I have a couple of his calls already and a couple more sets on the way, definately the best calls in my cabinet.
I had a "No Rush" order in with him a couple weeks ago but once fawns started hitting the ground I really needed something fast, I called him up last week and he started turning a blank that minute. The next day he shipped this one out, two days later it hammered it's first coyote! I think he's taking a breather now since he knows I'm passified. Now he can spend some time with the wife/kids instead of tuning calls into a cellphone at all hours of the night for an impatient Hoosier. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

4 1/2 months to go here till they hear my call.Guess I'll satisfy my urges reading ya'alls stories of shooting hairless summertime coyotes.
But, like Leonard, Ive got a a dozen projects to keep me busy, fencing, stucco house,lay some carpet as well as perpetual mowing and watering of my place. Can't wait for october to get here.

Az,
Haven't you noticed? You don't have to mow anything that you don't water.
Just turn off the hose and cut your workload in half.

Took two more this evening, fawns should start dropping really hard next week... may run out of coyotes before then.
EDIT: Oops, forgot to mention, these were NOT called into the open in case the mythbusters are keeping track.

I'm using a call that's pretty new on the market. The maker of these calls, known as Ridgeviewer online, is a good friend of mine. I often find that specific calls work best during certain seasons around here and right now is definitely a time for an open reed call that produces a good puppy whine and a fawn bleet. Ridge carved this one out for me in a hurry after I spotted our first fawn and I’ve been whacking coyotes with it ever since. In about six weeks I’ll ask Ridge to make me a open reed that is geared more towards vocalizations in the juvenile pitches, I think that will really work well as the pups start to mature.
Last weekend I stumbled into something that I think will make a remarkable coyote killing sound… I have plans to try it out later this week to verify but I think I may really be onto something. If so, Ridge and I will be testing tone boards over the phone again in the near future. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
On the coyotes, the biggest (Right) is a female... the first female I've taken since February. She's probably the mate to a male I took in the area last week.

JRB,
Thanks...I was sitting here guessing, perhaps, maybe you used those two. But wanted to know for sure. My foot is doing quite well. Looking forward to next Saturday to get out with 1dog.
I enjoy, watching him miss! LOL! Hoping to help out, that Dairy farmer some. He said the coyotes are thick ![[Cool]](cool.gif) .

JRB, was the female lactating? Of the two sounds you were using which did she approach? Did she come in fast or slow?

The female was a spot and stalk... actually a spot and shoot. I was walking from the first stand to the second and saw her standing on the edge of a sinkhole. I had killed a male nearby last week so I assume she was tending to pups, didn't find any pups or a den in the area after I killed her though. She had no idea I was there, I probably could've called her in but adrenaline took over and I shot her where she stood.
The male came in fast to a fawn bleet, he just appeared out of nowhere like they often do. I was between calling series so he didn't know exactly where I was... if I had been in the middle of a series when he appeard he may have busted me because my setup wasn't all that great.
Edit: And she was lactating.

Gonna finally get out today with 1dog & my "feral-cat" decoy. Taken my cheap-a$$ camera, maybe get a pic or two. If not, maybe just a hot barrel...whatever.
