sureshot Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 today after a 3 day storm I was expecting a perfect day of coyote hunting, got dressed in abotu 5 layers to brave the -35 with a -45 windchill,no big deal [so i thought] Me and a buddy headed out at first daylight got to our first spot walked abotu 300 yards in and started to call, I looked over at himand seen his nose was turnign white,my toes were gettign sore,and my beard was froze to my facemask,to top it all off my glasses looked like the frost on the inside of a freezer! we went back to the truck and drove to a new spot which took abotu 15 minutes, we called it then another and another all the tiem plowing about a foot of snow on the main roads,At about noon we got to a old farmyard with tons of tracks down the road we parked inside and started to call,, within abotu 15 minutes I spot movement from a slough 1/2 mile away, a coyote, I worked with him for abotu 20 minutes and he came within 500 yards through deep snow and was spooked by a stupid snowmobile, he was gone in a minute, we were both cold by now and got to the truck and could not move, 2 of the wheels were froze up!it tok us about a hour to loosen up all the ice that formes around the calipers,I had to jack the wheels up , block it up with soem old blocks I found , climb underneath and break the ice with a rock and screwdriver I had!By this time my finger tips are tingling[still are] my toes are sore, my buddies nose and ears have a bit of frostbite,we even left coyote huntign with about a hour of daylight left! All day seen 1 coyote even to cold for the furry buggers! Guess what tomorrow I will be stupid enough to do the whole thing over again! I have hunted in colder weather and longer but today with the wind and blowing snow was just to much, possbaly its the age showing up on me lol, just can not handle it like I used to be able to!!
