Weights up, scales down…

Man, a ton of work being put in! Raising cattle too while building all of this? You'll be busier than you ever imagined soon enough I think. But it'll be honest work. Enjoy it man!
 
Nothing like taking out a few yotes for a lil time with Dad eh!

Also went out this evening me and dad. Did a little coyote calling.

Just did one set, sat down and did a little mouse squeaks, with in seconds one came bouncing through the wheat stubble I dropped him at 140 yards. Played some more mouse squeaks about 3 minutes later one came running towards my dad, it was at a little awkward angle, he pulled his shot slightly and just missed. I started doing pup in distress and about 1 minute one came screaming out of a brushy draw to my right, I gave it a bark and stopped it at 160 yards and dropped it.

Kinda cool to see in the picture one a large healthy female. One is a younger male and is has mange.

even if he's mangy he actually looks good for it from that pic tbh. I had one sitting outside my bedroom window barking up a storm a few months ago. like a domestic dog in someones back yard barking at the wind, crazy obnoxious. I was like what the hell is going on out there, so I go outside like full commando cause its past 9pm and I'm in bed and this damn young yote smaller than the one in your pic was just sitting there by my shed, about 100ft from the house barking. I went up and yelled at him to F off or I'll shoot him haha. He ran like 10ft, started up again. so I grabbed my hatchet and started approaching him saying the same thing and finally he bolted lol.

I love hearing a pack of them go nuts in the darkness out across the fields but having that one idiot sit there barking all night like a domestic dog was driving me nuts.
 
I can hear it now with the axe, "If you don't GTFO of here I am going to cut your yapping head off!!!"

it’s very surreal to me I mean this year I’ll be 40 and he will be 73. He is in great shape and very active but at times it hits me with him and mom just how the time has gone and the years krept up. Just hoping I get the chance when both the kids are older to go get some memories with them and grandpa along.

It’s wild how year to year can be so different. Like this year there seems to be a coyote surge in seeing and hearing them everywhere and they are really vocal, normally this is out of character they are usually more vocal feb/march time frame.

Outside of killing them as a nuissance, can you do anything with them? New leg warmers or something? LMAO

When it gets cold enough I will keep them and a fur buyer comes around and just buys them whole. I used to skin all of them out and sell or tan them. I might pick that up down the road again.

But for now mostly just population control, they get to thick and then the mange gets worse and they all get it like what happened 10-15 years ago and knocks them way down. We are now on the uphill swing of that low.
