The season just ended. The season just began.10 viewsI put away the predator stuff about two weeks ago and am now out pursuing crows and beavers. This crow was busy picking at something to eat in a stubble field and waited too long to take wing.

Grainery coyote.290 viewsJohnS was calling as we looked over this field while sitting against a couple of graineries. Suddenly two coyotes came running around the edge of a bush about 200 yards to our right. JohnS filmed them as they stopped, looked us over, and then ran in as a pair. It's one of my all-time favourite scenes. His video comes out in October of 2006.

Called In and Put to Sleep45 viewsI sat out with two buddies one day and we called in this second fox (the first came, saw, and left before it could be cross-haired). It bounced across the field about 150 yds out before being dropped. I caught the hunt on the video camera.

300 yard coyote309 viewsI let the first of this pair pass by expecting that my partner would be able to shoot it while I focussed on the second. But he couldn't see it from where he was sitting. After I shot the second coyote, I ran to the top of a small hill and shot the first coyote at 300 yards as it was running away.

Fox from a rock pile.28 viewsIn the background and to the right you can see a rockpile. It was from here that this fox was shot after being spotted from the roadway. A successful stalk and a successful shot. Very satisfying. The third of five animals that day.

Double on coyotes233 viewsI was calling when a coyote showed up behind me within a very few minutes. Once I bagged him, I kept calling and about 15 minutes later another showed. The first was a little under 100 yds. but the second was about 300 yds.

One of each from the same stand.25 viewsOn the first stand of the morning in early March I Crit'Rcalled in a fox from the left and a coyote from the right. Bill did the shooting while I did the calling and filming.Mar 11, 2008

Winter face mask21 viewsI was calling on the way home from work one bitterly cold day last week. I put on my warm home-made face mask but condensation quickly fogged my glasses so I had to take it off. I had a fox into the call within two minutes but came downwind so quickly that I couldn't get off a shot--and mostly filmed the tail end as he beat it back to the bush.Feb 25, 2008

A fox and two coyotes46 viewsI had just sniped a fox when about 10 minutes later I spotted a coyote in the field. I snuck in an Crit'RCalled. One of these circled downwind before I shot. I turned around and this other one appeared. A good hunt.Feb 05, 2008

Almost too close53 viewsWent out today solely with the intention to try some stalking. This fellow wandered off before I could get set up but came to the Crit'R Call within a minute. Sooo close that I was afraid to move; had to wait until he'd wandered off about 100 yds before I felt comfortable moving away from the video camera and getting behind the rifle.

A Five Beaver Lodge172 viewsThis is the place where we got the five beavers. The pond is much smaller than you normally see, and the lodge wasn't much to brag about, but it was a 'full-house' that night!Mar 11, 2007
