Springtime is the favorite season for most folks as it signals a new beginning. Trees grow new foliage, flowers are blooming and critters are giving birth to little ones. While I will admit that I love the spring with it’s greenery and gobbling turkeys, my favorite season is the fall. Fall is when I begin predator calling and I will not stop until early March when it warms up and new growth vegetation limits my visibility.As a rule, I begin hunting the first of October in New Mexico. This year my starting date was delayed as the vegetation was too tall to effectively call coyotes. I respect the coyote enough that I do not want to call to him until I have most of the advantages in my favor. I would rather not call a coyote up and educate him than to call him up and let him get away.
Since I missed most of the month of October, I guess that I will just have to make up for it by hunting more in November, December, January and February. The popularity of predator calling is undeniable. For this reason, I have been contacted by many companies in the hunting industry to introduce hunters to this great game. While we have been the leaders in this area for many years, it looks as though the months of January and February will be extremely busy.
I want to wish each of you a successful, safe and happy hunting season. Hunts are not always remembered by the kills, rather the camaraderie and sights along the way. Fall is here and it is time to get it started.
See you outdoors!
