[The General]

Well here is the list of things I take out.

1.  243 on a bi-pod with 58 grain Hornaday Bullets
2.  White camo bibs and jacket
3.  Old Johnny Stewart tape player (I highly recommend a Foxpro caller)
4.  A mouth call (don't remember the name)
5.  one of those little squeaker kids toys
6.  White camo face mask

I can't think of anything else right off the top of my head.

The rifle looks like I am using my 7mm rem mag mostly going using my shot gun lets get up close and personal. Just got a new rifle this year and working on a reloading press so monney is tight. Got all the camo bibs and mask got a hand held call. I play with it down at the MN river works good and of cores I robbed my kids toys what about a party noise maker new years eve aitn far away  vary raspy were can I go close to bloomington? were it is legal

i use my 30-06 with a 55 grain remington bullet. on shooting stick
johnny stewart call
fox decoy on the edge of the feild closer to me and a hawk decoy sitting closer to my rabbit motion decoy(i know alot of decoys there, outside of the game farm they are deadly) i have had alot of yotes go straight for my fox decoy then the rabbit(enemys) yotes are very territorial animals and will go after every other yote and fox decoy, to fight over the rabbit decoy and will respond fast to keep it away from the hawk or owl

Another little trick that works. Before dawn howl at them just to locate them. Then once thay respond you can move in closer with the other calls. I have used my own voice but the volume is pretty poor when your trying to locate yotes up to 3-4 miles away. Usually not that far but quite often. Nowdays you can buy howling calls for this but yrs ago just used an old police siren. This method works best with little to no wind.

Thanks for the info I was out bow hunten deer yesterday xmass eve morn. in that deep fresh snow. What a blast I LOVE IT had to use snow shoes 5 hours on them my legs are shot. didnt see any deer but I stalked a silver coyote for 5 min. Dam that thing was big got with in 45 yards used the cover and wind to do it. It had no clue I was there it just walked away. No it is'nt leagl were I was at. I was at full draw 2 times that was hard to pass up a bubble lung shot. I gess I am better at stalking than I thought. If I can keep this up Ill do good. Shoot gun and .06 is what iam goen to use I am going to start going down to the river and practice callen. Should be a lot of fun scaring all them city folk walking there dogs LOL
