He probably couldn't find anyone that could keep up with his "superhuman" stamina, lol. Q spends more time walking than he does driving.

I was out scouting this weekend and I saw tons and billions of pounds of snow everywhere. I saw big drifts in some places and I walked thru some areas with 8" snow and sometimes broke thru the crust of the previous 8" snow too. Some hard to get around in stuff, some easier. I think the area Andy and I will be hunting ought to be nice and muddy flzvored white!

Here we go again. I slipped on the ice in the parking lot after work and dislocated my shoulder. Don't look for me at St. Francis. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Man Tom, you've had more than your share of ups and downs lately. No pun intended. Take care of yourself, and the good news is this warm weather will get rid of a bunch of that slippery stuff!

Tom,
Sorry to hear about the fall. Recover quickly.
Good luck to all at the hunt. Looks like a good roster. Talked to Q the other night, still finalizing with his partner. Should be interesting.
For those interested, the NE KS Coyote Challenge is still taking entries until 1/12. Based out of Manhattan, Kansas and structured this year exactly like the Midwest

It was my own fault. I was rushing to get to the Post Office before they closed, to see if Rich had shipped my 24" Bushmaster Varmint Special upper yet. It's been 4 weeks and I'm getting concerned. Now, I can't drive for 3 more days so I don't know if it's sitting there waiting for me, or not.

St. Francis weather report says 30 mph gusts blew away the spring-like temps on Saturday. Contestants woke to light snow showers and 10 kt breezes this morning.

I haven`t heard the results yet but I did hear from a reliable source that right after the event on Sunday afternoon there was going to be a "gun signing" which would give opportunity for anyone to take their favorite rifle & have it signed by some of the nations finest predator callers. I`m anxious to hear how that went.

The winners were new guys. Timyer and someone else. 11 coyotes tied for first and second. The winner (which I think is VERY appropriate) was determined by total weight of the coyoes. Les brought in 10 coyotes but not sure if he placed 3rd or not.
OOooops, gotta run. I'll post more later.

30 mph gusts I think was a little on the low end of what we had on Sat. It was miserable to say the least. We stuck it out long enough to call one double at about 9:30, and then my partner got some dust or sand in his eye and ended up loosing a contact at about 1:30, so we headed for the truck and that was that. We did drive around a little Sat. eve. getting a game plan for Sun. morning. We got 7 more stands in on Sun. morning which produced 5 called/4 dead coyotes and that was that. Sat. we got in 14 stands which produced two called coyotes/one dead. 5 coyotes got us in a 5 way tie for 11th, and I suppose since 4 of ours were females and none of them got drug through any snow for added weight, our 5 weighed the least of the 5 teams with 5. 10 pounds and/or 1 coyote out of the money! ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

Even though we could not compete Nick and I made the trip to see everybody and visit. We got to talk to a lot of people and even got to meet a few new guys on the board here. Congrats to everybody that was in the contest. Hope to see you next year.

It sure was nice to meet a few of you.
TR, you and your partner are great guys. The loan of the snowshoes was greatly appreciated.
Jeremy, it was very nice to meet you as well.
Q, I wish we could have had time to talk longer. Good to meet you.
I saw Wiley, but it was so damned crowded I didnt get over there. By the time it thinned out, we had to run. I regret not getting to meet you.

Dang, I kinda miss not being there, myself. Just for the meet and greet. Now, if JeremyKS would set me up with prime real estate next year, I might attend.
Good hunting. LB
PS even half way decent real estate?

I was predicting 18 or 20 to take it this year. Eleven is very good but I just thought with so many teams so widely dispersed some one would have hit a good lick and get into some serious densities. As popular as coyote hunting is getting and at this time of the year 11 was probably about right though. I think the way coyote calling is expanding in popularity it is going to be harder and harder to find good densities.
It was good to be there at the meeting and to shake hands with new friends and old. I had not talked to Scott for ages and spent most of my time catching up. Les came over to the table and visited for a while. He was doing good but looked worn out. I think he has a very busy schedule this time of year. LOL Didn’t slow him down though. He was one off from victory.
Good hunting.

Jeremy,
I didnt stick around. I had a long way to go and headed on home. Im glad I did too. We about got blown away last night and I would have been paniced bad if I had been on the road and not here with my wife and boys.
Im leaving this afternoon to go an hour or so south of here to help my cousin. He lost his house, barn, haybarn, machine shed, shop, gooseneck trailer, several big round bales of hay, 4 horses and they are still shooting crippled cattle in the bottom, from a tornado last night.
Bad deal.
We will hook up next year.
