Great Start to the Year (pics)
Well Papapete and I got back from our annual pheasant trip out in central ND. We bird hunted in the daytime and called coyotes in the mornings and evenings over 2 1/2 days.
Total we called in 11 coyotes, got shots at 7, and killed 5.
All coyotes were called in with my new Preymaster PM-4.
Here is my first solo triple. 7 coyotes came in on this stand. I had a 4th come in, I got cocky, and rushed the shot. Dumb mistake. I should have let him come in closer, as Papa had a 5th coming into him on the other side of the hill. This stand is one of our best. We have called it 3 times and have never had less than 5 coyotes come in.
Next is one we called in for Papapete. It was ranged at 29 yards and closing hard. Nice male.
Next is on the way home we stopped at my uncles. This one gave us the slip, so we crested the other side of the hill and got him to come out of the brush. We left the rangfinder but figured 30-40 yards. This shows why calling can be a great two man sport. I never saw him from my vantage point, but Papapete did. I would have left the stand thinking I called nothing in.
Here is my father in laws cabin. It has all the necessities...outhouse, wood stove, lanterns, etc.
At night we sit around the fire and use a hot piece of rebar to brand things into the logs of the cabin.
And finally, some skinning pictures.
Oh yeah, we also shot some pheasants.

Re: Great Start to the Year (pics)
excellent post. Way to go on the triple. A lot of guys will go a life time of hunting and not shoot a triple. I bet you can still heat your heart pounding in your ears.

I looked through my pictures from the last few years, and this is the only one I have. This shows the families coming up for our turkey supper we have on one of the nights. I will be up there again I am sure over Christmas Vacation unless there is too much snow (you have to drive prairie roads, abandon RR tracks, and across stubble fields to get to the place). If I am I will get some indoor pictures.

Re: Great Start to the Year (pics)
That cabin is awsome!
It would make a guy feel like Danl Boone.
I would move in and never leave cept for gas and bullets.
