I've been huntin already, 6 Coyotes and 1 Fox so far this year. Still haven't pulled the trigger on a Pheasant, kind of been waiting for some of this crop to get harvested before I get serious about it.

Deer season opens November 21st here in eastern South Dakota. The past few weekends I have been shooting the .30-06 Encore getting it all fine tuned for Deer Season (when the weather has cooperated that is).

The past week or so I've been out doing a little scouting in the late afternoons. The Corps of Enginers seemed like they had to open the Dam on the north end of Lake Traverse and a lot of my hunting area is now under water once again. That is the main reason I have been scouting every afternoon for the past week or so.

Good luck to everyone this fall.

Pheasant and Quail opend here in Nebraska on the 31st. Been chasing them around since.

Going to head down to Kansas for the opener and hope to find some Quail down near ELkhart. If it isn't any good we will load up and head east. Hope to find Quail and if we have to maybe a Pheasant.

Chaco, from what I hear you are going to have to be east of there to REALLY tear up the quail. Have you ever hunted the Cimmaron before?

Cool, then we'll get to see some photos of dead Coyotes. Wyote always remembers his camera (unlike someone we know).

I don't know about the pic's. I've only seen 4 coyotes since the first of Sept. So I don't think theres too many around this year. I've seen more foxes than ever this fall..............another reason I think there's not many coyotes

Hopefully I'll find one or two................ undecided undecided

Talked to a guy up town in the bar last night. He told me he was out to his deer blind (a wooden shack up on a hill overlooking a large ravine) and smacked 3 Coyotes. He said it was crazy as soon as he'd shoot one another one would emerge from cover and go over to the dead one. I never asked him but they must have been young of the year.

The last Coyote I saw (halloween night) I was looking with the Binocs when I should have been looking through my Riflescope. I tried calling it back over the hill but nothing doing. (Me thinks that one has been called before)

Why are they spending taxpayer money to kill so many yotes?

I read this week the the research biologists report on Coyotes in Montana & Wyoming has shown that nearly 80% of the coyotes diet over the past year has been antelope and deer fawns thus the aerial hunting.
