A rancher I know just called me telling me that I have to come out to his ranch this weekend and kill all the coyotes on his place.
He was out today checking some heifers that were calving early and found four coyotes eating a newborn calf. Needless to say, he's pretty mad right now and wants every coyote taken off of his property.
I haven't been out for coyotes in over a year because of knee problems and finally the knee replacement surgery in August so I have to find all my stuff, get the batteries for the FoxPro on the charger, get my hunting license, etc.
I'll set up on the carcass at first light and then call the local area if they don't show up.
I just got a phone call to come out and kill some yotes

Bakersfield is my home town! I'm just east of you, have a bad knee and will soon have it replaced also, so I'm the better choice to come and help!
Now, don't try to get away! I am more muscular, more cunning, faster, and larger than you are, and I am a genius. Why you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten.

I had a friend call me two days ago to do the same thing.
He has a deal with a RANCHER in the area to come out to kill his coyotes,
he even gets paid, and gets free fuel.
We shot a bunch of squeaks, and I had one shot at a coyote. (I missed)
The gun that was shooting so well was off. I was pissed.
We saw one in the blueberry orchard, and one in the alfalfa field.
no shot in the orchard.
We didn't even call, just drove around.

We don't know, the rancher said the calf still had the umbilical cord attached so it was just born. It could be that the calf was born dead or the coyotes got it during or right after the birth.
I got the batteries recharged last night and Im going out within the hour to get my license.

My mouthcalls live in my truck. They're just like American Express, you don't leave home without them!
Thanks all.
