Adventure Number 1004: Huntin' Coyote and Fishin' Pyramid Lake

January 7, 2006
Adventure #1,004:
Huntin' Coyotes & Fishin' Pyramid Lake

You know how some kids get giddy in a candy store, well Sportsman's Warehouse can do that to adults. After walking down the back isle, we came across something that we haven't yet had the pleasure to partake in and that was the art of Callin' Coyotes. Oh yeah. There where all kinds of DVD's and How To's that explained the exact art and finesse that it took to be able to Master the call of the Wild Dog.

So we bought a few Predator Calls and an accompanying DVD - went home and watched what they called "Spectacular Footage Featuring 45 Kills". Well it was all over after that. The plan was to wake up at 4:30AM the next day and high tail it to a few well known areas and start Callin' em in. Little did we know what the heck we where doing, but after about 30 minuts or so - it began to work. One by one they came closer and closer but nothing close enough to shoot.



I never realized that people put so much practice into the Art of Huntin' Coyote's as much as people focus on the Art of Fishin'. If you are interested in Coyote Hunting be sure to check out some information:

After what seemed to be a good day Callin' Coyotes, we thought we'd try our luck wrangling up some Cutthroat Trout out at Pyramid Lake. Well it turned out that "The Fishing Was Good at Pyramid Lake; It Was The Catching That Was Bad".

Here are a few quotes that we found to be pretty funny and pretty true all an all...

  • A bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work. ~Author Unknown
  • The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad. ~A.K. Best
  • Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. ~Author Unknown
  • An angler is a man who spends rainy days sitting around on the muddy banks of rivers doing nothing because his wife won't let him do it at home. ~Author Unknown
  • Give a man a fish and he has food for a day; teach him how to fish and you can get rid of him for the entire weekend. ~Zenna Schaffer
