0:00:09.760,0:00:13.799

great episode lined up for you guys

 

0:00:12.000,0:00:16.880

0:00:13.799,0:00:18.520

calling with Tory cook of mfk game calls

 

0:00:16.880,0:00:21.199

fun talking to you so I'm ready for

 

0:00:23.480,0:00:27.840

another one yes sir hey I've you've been

 

0:00:26.400,0:00:29.480

spending quite a bit of time in the

 

0:00:27.840,0:00:31.240

field I see you've been stacking up the

 

0:00:29.480,0:00:32.680

coyotes

 

0:00:31.240,0:00:34.680

yeah both seasons right around the

 

0:00:32.680,0:00:36.360

corner so I've done things a little

 

0:00:34.680,0:00:38.719

different this summer I didn't I didn't

 

0:00:36.360,0:00:40.760

hunt much during early summer I was

 

0:00:38.719,0:00:43.640

waiting on that P dispersal time frame

 

0:00:40.760,0:00:45.719

and it got to that point and then it was

 

0:00:43.640,0:00:47.960

a pinch between that and both seasons so

 

0:00:45.719,0:00:49.520

I've been getting after them just about

 

0:00:47.960,0:00:51.800

every morning trying to make one or two

 

0:00:49.520,0:00:54.520

stands and they had some really good

 

0:00:51.800,0:00:56.000

some really good stands yeah a lot of Cs

 

0:00:54.520,0:00:57.920

yeah I've been following along youve

 

0:00:56.000,0:01:00.559

you've killed quite a few here last

 

0:00:57.920,0:01:02.640

little bit uh I know I was it last week

 

0:01:00.559,0:01:05.360

or maybe the week before you killed an

 

0:01:02.640,0:01:06.600

absolute monster of a Coy you had it

 

0:01:05.360,0:01:08.080

hanging from a tree and it looked like

 

0:01:06.600,0:01:10.240

one of those pictures you see them guys

 

0:01:08.080,0:01:12.439

post every once in a while like on some

 

0:01:10.240,0:01:14.320

of those Predator groups like some guy

 

0:01:12.439,0:01:16.520

over in South Africa or somewhere have

 

0:01:14.320,0:01:17.840

his big hyena hanging from a li or what

 

0:01:16.520,0:01:18.759

that's what it reminded me man looks

 

0:01:17.840,0:01:22.280

like a

 

0:01:18.759,0:01:23.920

hyena yeah that thing was he was I I

 

0:01:22.280,0:01:25.600

don't ever weigh him but he was

 

0:01:23.920,0:01:28.000

definitely in the heavyweight division

 

0:01:25.600,0:01:30.280

that sucker was he was and ain't no

 

0:01:28.000,0:01:31.759

telling I mean this summertime k just

 

0:01:30.280,0:01:33.680

imagine what he would looked like you

 

0:01:31.759,0:01:35.000

know with his winter hair I wish I had

 

0:01:33.680,0:01:38.040

have killed him during the winter just

 

0:01:35.000,0:01:40.200

to see him like that but he was a big

 

0:01:38.040,0:01:42.799

yeah there was thin hair and not you

 

0:01:40.200,0:01:44.360

could tell he was a Monster yeah and the

 

0:01:42.799,0:01:46.159

thing about it I killed him and walked

 

0:01:44.360,0:01:48.119

up there and I was expecting to see some

 

0:01:46.159,0:01:50.320

of them teeth like we killed on them Cs

 

0:01:48.119,0:01:53.880

on the Texas trip but he he wasn't a Old

 

0:01:50.320,0:01:55.920

Co really B yeah I figured he was only

 

0:01:53.880,0:01:57.479

he still had really good teeth his insid

 

0:01:55.920,0:02:00.360

was good he still had a little those

 

0:01:57.479,0:02:03.159

dimples on there so I mean you know

 

0:02:00.360,0:02:04.799

three four years old at the most really

 

0:02:03.159,0:02:06.719

if he I figured he was a two or three

 

0:02:04.799,0:02:08.160

year old C he was just a beggon yeah I

 

0:02:06.719,0:02:11.200

never would have guessed that just from

 

0:02:08.160,0:02:13.000

going from the sheer mass of him yeah he

 

0:02:11.200,0:02:14.400

was I guess he got plenty of milk when

 

0:02:13.000,0:02:17.800

he was a

 

0:02:14.400,0:02:19.480

pup he got a good Head Start didn't he

 

0:02:17.800,0:02:21.959

yeah something he was doing something

 

0:02:19.480,0:02:26.120

but and and he was around I killed him

 

0:02:21.959,0:02:29.080

not too far off some just Farm country

 

0:02:26.120,0:02:31.560

in general where it was her I guess

 

0:02:29.080,0:02:33.959

livestock country goats chickens little

 

0:02:31.560,0:02:35.640

bit of everything so I he was keeping

 

0:02:33.959,0:02:39.200

his belly pulled about anytime he wanted

 

0:02:35.640,0:02:41.480

it I'd say you're all right well that uh

 

0:02:39.200,0:02:43.400

that pretty much end our coyote

 

0:02:41.480,0:02:44.599

conversation for this podcast like I

 

0:02:43.400,0:02:46.040

said earlier we're going to kind of

 

0:02:44.599,0:02:49.519

cover something different we're going to

 

0:02:46.040,0:02:51.720

cover raccoon calling um I pretty much

 

0:02:49.519,0:02:53.720

have zero experience calling calling for

 

0:02:51.720,0:02:56.959

raccoons I have called up a couple to

 

0:02:53.720,0:02:58.400

the fox Pro while making coyot St um it

 

0:02:56.959,0:03:00.360

was one of those deals where they just

 

0:02:58.400,0:03:02.879

completely caught me off guard it was

 

0:03:00.360,0:03:04.200

pure accident why they came I can't

 

0:03:02.879,0:03:06.040

remember what they came to maybe rabbit

 

0:03:04.200,0:03:08.120

distress or maybe it was times when I

 

0:03:06.040,0:03:10.080

would mix in raccoon distress just

 

0:03:08.120,0:03:12.440

trying to get Coy to break or whatever

 

0:03:10.080,0:03:14.319

but uh definitely wasn't planning on it

 

0:03:12.440,0:03:17.000

definitely wasn't targeting targeting

 

0:03:14.319,0:03:20.080

them but uh Tori on the other hand goes

 

0:03:17.000,0:03:22.159

out and specifically targets raccoons

 

0:03:20.080,0:03:25.280

and has tremendous success at calling

 

0:03:22.159,0:03:27.480

them in um this this intrigues me

 

0:03:25.280,0:03:29.439

because this is something I want to do

 

0:03:27.480,0:03:31.720

you know I'm a I'm a deer hunter and I

 

0:03:29.439,0:03:34.159

put out trail cameras and man I just see

 

0:03:31.720,0:03:37.519

massive amounts of raccoons but I never

 

0:03:34.159,0:03:39.519

have went and actually tried it Tori and

 

0:03:37.519,0:03:41.000

you I've watched you you know big part

 

0:03:39.519,0:03:42.319

of the summer you would go out and

 

0:03:41.000,0:03:43.439

actually call for raccoons and when

 

0:03:42.319,0:03:45.920

using your

 

0:03:43.439,0:03:47.640

Longbow and killing these Coons is as

 

0:03:45.920,0:03:49.840

coming into and I just thought that was

 

0:03:47.640,0:03:51.080

awesome it's super intriguing so that's

 

0:03:49.840,0:03:53.519

what we're going to talk about right

 

0:03:51.080,0:03:55.920

here and I guess the first question Tor

 

0:03:53.519,0:03:58.680

is how long have you been calling for

 

0:03:55.920,0:04:01.640

raccoons you know Target targeting [ __ ]

 

0:03:58.680,0:04:04.120

specifically several years now and I got

 

0:04:01.640,0:04:06.040

started kind of like what you were were

 

0:04:04.120,0:04:09.400

talking about where I was going out Co

 

0:04:06.040,0:04:12.400

calling and randomly would call in a

 

0:04:09.400,0:04:14.920

[ __ ] and I had started building some of

 

0:04:12.400,0:04:16.400

those diaphragms and doing [ __ ] distress

 

0:04:14.920,0:04:18.759

stuff and was playing with that a little

 

0:04:16.400,0:04:21.440

bit more and started calling in

 

0:04:18.759,0:04:24.600

Coons unintentionally calling in Coons

 

0:04:21.440,0:04:27.040

just using mixing [ __ ] distress in on C

 

0:04:24.600,0:04:29.880

stands and stuff like that saw that they

 

0:04:27.040,0:04:31.759

were coming in and we got to where we go

 

0:04:29.880,0:04:34.080

make coow stands and at the end of them

 

0:04:31.759,0:04:37.240

we would run con sounds and we started

 

0:04:34.080,0:04:39.680

killing cones on unsuccessful coow

 

0:04:37.240,0:04:41.440

stands or sometimes we'd call up a cat

 

0:04:39.680,0:04:44.039

and then swap the cone towards the end

 

0:04:41.440,0:04:45.160

we'd call a cone and from there I said

 

0:04:44.039,0:04:47.280

man this is pretty fun because they're

 

0:04:45.160,0:04:50.000

so aggressive to the call right I

 

0:04:47.280,0:04:52.400

started going out specifically you know

 

0:04:50.000,0:04:55.039

on some of them to begin with it was

 

0:04:52.400,0:04:57.520

some of those days where and even still

 

0:04:55.039,0:04:59.639

some of those days are not great for

 

0:04:57.520,0:05:01.960

calling cods maybe you got wind or

 

0:04:59.639,0:05:03.440

drizzling rain or you know just not a

 

0:05:01.960,0:05:06.039

good coat calling day you don't want to

 

0:05:03.440,0:05:10.039

burn those spots I would go specifically

 

0:05:06.039,0:05:11.720

call Coons and before long I figured out

 

0:05:10.039,0:05:14.160

you know certain things certain times of

 

0:05:11.720,0:05:16.600

the year and got to where when they were

 

0:05:14.160,0:05:20.000

calling it's about as I mean it's hard

 

0:05:16.600,0:05:22.840

to be it this far as fast action right

 

0:05:20.000,0:05:25.360

and a lot of fun because it's it's quick

 

0:05:22.840,0:05:26.960

it's easy and when they're calling you

 

0:05:25.360,0:05:29.280

call them up on just about every stand

 

0:05:26.960,0:05:31.120

if you're in Co oh man I I've watched

 

0:05:29.280,0:05:34.039

the videos you know the videos you've

 

0:05:31.120,0:05:36.479

put out and like I said it's it gets me

 

0:05:34.039,0:05:40.479

pumped up like man why have I not tried

 

0:05:36.479,0:05:42.440

this you know it's but anyway it U I

 

0:05:40.479,0:05:45.000

guess the next question for you is is

 

0:05:42.440,0:05:47.160

there any scouting involved before you

 

0:05:45.000,0:05:49.360

start making raccoon stands is there

 

0:05:47.160,0:05:52.039

anything specific that you that you look

 

0:05:49.360,0:05:54.600

for when choosing a stand location for

 

0:05:52.039,0:05:56.600

raccoons I think a lot of it ties right

 

0:05:54.600,0:05:58.840

back to like we've talked about on some

 

0:05:56.600,0:06:00.520

of the coou stuff if you've got a good

 

0:05:58.840,0:06:03.240

[ __ ] pop population just like when you

 

0:06:00.520,0:06:05.039

got a good cow population you can go out

 

0:06:03.240,0:06:07.080

and make blind stands just in those

 

0:06:05.039,0:06:10.520

areas you know that they should be yeah

 

0:06:07.080,0:06:12.840

and have really good luck in other

 

0:06:10.520,0:06:16.199

situations where maybe you don't have as

 

0:06:12.840,0:06:19.039

much Timber you don't have as your

 

0:06:16.199,0:06:21.319

population densities of coons are not as

 

0:06:19.039,0:06:24.919

as much then you a lot of people will do

 

0:06:21.319,0:06:27.000

stuff like look and scalp for mainly Den

 

0:06:24.919,0:06:29.560

trees where they know where the coons

 

0:06:27.000,0:06:32.080

are probably going to be dned up and you

 

0:06:29.560,0:06:34.400

know it's referring a daytime calling of

 

0:06:32.080,0:06:37.639

course or night but uh you know you can

 

0:06:34.400,0:06:41.039

go look for those Den trees I have a CO

 

0:06:37.639,0:06:43.199

I mean a [ __ ] population here to where I

 

0:06:41.039,0:06:46.319

just go blind call yeah and typically

 

0:06:43.199,0:06:48.080

I'm doing that in any area that I think

 

0:06:46.319,0:06:51.039

C you know would hold Coons Creek

 

0:06:48.080,0:06:53.160

bottoms River bottoms uh just anything

 

0:06:51.039,0:06:56.120

like that where you know that the coons

 

0:06:53.160,0:06:58.280

should be right that's how I start I go

 

0:06:56.120,0:06:59.919

to those places and usually if if I'm

 

0:06:58.280,0:07:01.240

doing it out of my truck

 

0:06:59.919,0:07:03.199

you get out of your truck and walk

 

0:07:01.240,0:07:05.440

across the ditch get in the woods and

 

0:07:03.199,0:07:07.000

that's my first stand and I you got to

 

0:07:05.440,0:07:08.680

keep the wind right I know they're a

 

0:07:07.000,0:07:11.039

little animal and a lot of people

 

0:07:08.680,0:07:14.479

Overlook that but they use their nose

 

0:07:11.039,0:07:16.240

just like coats or any any other

 

0:07:14.479,0:07:18.599

predator and if they wind you they will

 

0:07:16.240,0:07:20.440

not come in the main thing you gotta

 

0:07:18.599,0:07:23.280

worry about so I just get and they don't

 

0:07:20.440,0:07:24.840

circle like C so it's not as critical

 

0:07:23.280,0:07:26.319

but you do need it in your favor you

 

0:07:24.840,0:07:28.280

know where you set your call out you

 

0:07:26.319,0:07:30.680

want to make sure yeah if you're if the

 

0:07:28.280,0:07:32.360

wind's blowing from you right to the den

 

0:07:30.680,0:07:33.960

tree soon as they come out on limb

 

0:07:32.360,0:07:36.479

they're just going to run right back in

 

0:07:33.960,0:07:37.960

right right right and a lot the way that

 

0:07:36.479,0:07:39.520

I'm calling them usually I don't see

 

0:07:37.960,0:07:41.280

them come out of the tree right they're

 

0:07:39.520,0:07:44.159

coming from a distance and Coons are

 

0:07:41.280,0:07:46.240

more active than people think they are

 

0:07:44.159,0:07:47.759

during the day especially when you know

 

0:07:46.240,0:07:49.919

this time of the year or summer time of

 

0:07:47.759,0:07:51.840

the year when they've got pups or

 

0:07:49.919,0:07:53.919

kittens whatever you want to call them

 

0:07:51.840,0:07:55.639

they're fairly active at certain times

 

0:07:53.919,0:07:57.960

throughout the day some of my best [ __ ]

 

0:07:55.639,0:08:00.560

column is doing that I usually start

 

0:07:57.960,0:08:02.319

around midday and go towards dark is

 

0:08:00.560,0:08:06.400

when I usually do most of my [ __ ]

 

0:08:02.319,0:08:08.960

calling okay that's uh and it works any

 

0:08:06.400,0:08:11.240

time of the day or night but that's that

 

0:08:08.960,0:08:14.080

I think tend to have my best success for

 

0:08:11.240,0:08:17.199

whatever reason I think those Coons are

 

0:08:14.080,0:08:19.319

pretty active during you know for a

 

0:08:17.199,0:08:21.039

period of time during the the middle of

 

0:08:19.319,0:08:23.520

the day and you'll also notice that with

 

0:08:21.039,0:08:25.319

your calling some days you'll go call

 

0:08:23.520,0:08:27.280

and the con are active they're out of

 

0:08:25.319,0:08:31.039

the den tree they may be on the ground

 

0:08:27.280,0:08:32.440

or at least you know up been awake and

 

0:08:31.039,0:08:34.680

it only takes a minute or two and

 

0:08:32.440,0:08:37.039

they're on top of you right you may go

 

0:08:34.680,0:08:38.440

the next day and struggle to call Coons

 

0:08:37.039,0:08:40.320

and it's usually because they're just

 

0:08:38.440,0:08:42.320

not active right then there have been

 

0:08:40.320,0:08:44.920

times where I'll go and I'll make five

 

0:08:42.320,0:08:47.560

or six stands not call anything up wait

 

0:08:44.920,0:08:49.880

two three hours come back to the same

 

0:08:47.560,0:08:51.959

area do the same thing and they're

 

0:08:49.880,0:08:54.839

running over me it's just them being

 

0:08:51.959,0:08:56.279

active versus not being right right it's

 

0:08:54.839,0:08:58.279

just kind of Hit or Miss so you're

 

0:08:56.279,0:09:00.240

saying that that you might go early in

 

0:08:58.279,0:09:02.640

the morning say right after sunrise and

 

0:09:00.240,0:09:04.200

burn them up and then sometimes you know

 

0:09:02.640,0:09:05.880

you might have to hit them midday or

 

0:09:04.200,0:09:07.399

late in the afternoon or whatever it's

 

0:09:05.880,0:09:10.200

just it just kind of depends on what's

 

0:09:07.399,0:09:12.320

going on in a raccoon's life I guess

 

0:09:10.200,0:09:13.560

right right it's it's one of those deals

 

0:09:12.320,0:09:16.040

I always tell people you know if you're

 

0:09:13.560,0:09:18.640

gonna [ __ ] call go make five or six

 

0:09:16.040,0:09:21.120

stands and if you're not calling con

 

0:09:18.640,0:09:23.079

pretty steady just wait till the next

 

0:09:21.120,0:09:25.240

day or wait later in the day and hit

 

0:09:23.079,0:09:27.640

them again okay and you will catch them

 

0:09:25.240,0:09:30.079

calling and in

 

0:09:27.640,0:09:31.600

general you know certain times there's a

 

0:09:30.079,0:09:35.600

couple times a year that are better than

 

0:09:31.600,0:09:38.079

others but in general they're usually

 

0:09:35.600,0:09:39.760

some con active so you're gonna call

 

0:09:38.079,0:09:42.920

some and then you just have those days

 

0:09:39.760,0:09:45.760

where every time you turn it on one runs

 

0:09:42.920,0:09:47.200

over you and there are you can tell from

 

0:09:45.760,0:09:49.240

the pictures and stuff that there are a

 

0:09:47.200,0:09:51.839

lot of days that are like that you know

 

0:09:49.240,0:09:55.000

you'll you'll just call them up and the

 

0:09:51.839,0:09:57.399

two times are kind of like with coats

 

0:09:55.000,0:10:00.320

the breeding season for coons your

 

0:09:57.399,0:10:03.160

winter calling is really really good

 

0:10:00.320,0:10:06.640

that's a prime peak time and

 

0:10:03.160,0:10:08.680

then summertime when those [ __ ] kittens

 

0:10:06.640,0:10:10.320

get up about weaning age Y and they're

 

0:10:08.680,0:10:11.920

out of the den just like pups getting

 

0:10:10.320,0:10:14.000

out of the hole when they get out of the

 

0:10:11.920,0:10:15.880

den tree and they're beginning to be

 

0:10:14.000,0:10:17.800

active and fooling around and following

 

0:10:15.880,0:10:20.320

that mamaon and then sometimes spending

 

0:10:17.800,0:10:23.160

time away from her oh that's when it's

 

0:10:20.320,0:10:25.079

dynamite I mean you can just you can

 

0:10:23.160,0:10:28.200

slaughter them because they're coming

 

0:10:25.079,0:10:31.160

you think that is that is now here in

 

0:10:28.200,0:10:32.720

you know say going in October here uh

 

0:10:31.160,0:10:34.560

like you know I'm running trail cameras

 

0:10:32.720,0:10:36.519

for deer you know deer seasons's in here

 

0:10:34.560,0:10:38.600

in Kentucky came in first Saturday of

 

0:10:36.519,0:10:40.519

September uh one of the reasons why I'm

 

0:10:38.600,0:10:42.639

getting a lot of raccoon pictures here

 

0:10:40.519,0:10:44.800

in Kentucky you are allowed to bait and

 

0:10:42.639,0:10:46.760

I I run bait piles it's a great way to

 

0:10:44.800,0:10:48.560

scout you know I know exactly what I've

 

0:10:46.760,0:10:50.440

got to hunt in my areas well guess what

 

0:10:48.560,0:10:53.120

else loves those bait piles guess what

 

0:10:50.440,0:10:55.200

else loves corn the dag on raccoon so

 

0:10:53.120,0:10:57.600

when I get pictures of them it usually

 

0:10:55.200,0:10:59.800

it's not a single you know it's like

 

0:10:57.600,0:11:01.639

five or six or seven

 

0:10:59.800,0:11:03.240

sometimes eight raccoons in a single

 

0:11:01.639,0:11:05.839

picture so that's what that is I guess

 

0:11:03.240,0:11:08.639

is a s raccoon or whatever they call

 

0:11:05.839,0:11:10.959

them and the young earings a lot of

 

0:11:08.639,0:11:13.959

times it is and that's that's probably

 

0:11:10.959,0:11:15.399

the best time to really pile them up is

 

0:11:13.959,0:11:17.360

during that time frame and something

 

0:11:15.399,0:11:18.560

else to keep in mind I've had people go

 

0:11:17.360,0:11:21.079

out and they'll call me and they'll say

 

0:11:18.560,0:11:22.480

man I I saw Coons that may be at a deer

 

0:11:21.079,0:11:23.880

feeder they may be doing at night where

 

0:11:22.480,0:11:26.360

they're shining eyes and they see the

 

0:11:23.880,0:11:28.720

con and trees y they'll turn the call on

 

0:11:26.360,0:11:30.000

and they'll see the conon run from them

 

0:11:28.720,0:11:32.399

you know

 

0:11:30.000,0:11:34.639

they they may have six eight cones at a

 

0:11:32.399,0:11:36.519

deer they turn the call on one con cone

 

0:11:34.639,0:11:39.519

comes to and the rest of them run away

 

0:11:36.519,0:11:42.160

okay and typically when you're calling

 

0:11:39.519,0:11:44.600

just about every cone that I kill with

 

0:11:42.160,0:11:46.360

the exception of a boore here and there

 

0:11:44.600,0:11:49.279

just about every [ __ ] that you kill

 

0:11:46.360,0:11:52.680

during this time of the year will be a s

 

0:11:49.279,0:11:54.959

[ __ ] that has had kittens Almost 100%

 

0:11:52.680,0:11:56.720

You Will Call some bores mixed in yeah

 

0:11:54.959,0:11:59.320

when you get into that breeding time

 

0:11:56.720,0:12:02.480

frame just about every [ __ ] you call

 

0:11:59.320,0:12:04.480

will be a big older Bor conon you will

 

0:12:02.480,0:12:06.680

have some exceptions where it's just a

 

0:12:04.480,0:12:08.279

random [ __ ] that comes up but for the

 

0:12:06.680,0:12:09.720

most part when you're when you're

 

0:12:08.279,0:12:12.240

running those [ __ ]

 

0:12:09.720,0:12:14.399

sounds a a portion of the [ __ ]

 

0:12:12.240,0:12:15.800

population is not going to come to it

 

0:12:14.399,0:12:18.279

they're actually going to run away from

 

0:12:15.800,0:12:21.399

it so your younger Coons your your Coons

 

0:12:18.279,0:12:23.519

that don't have kittens um this time of

 

0:12:21.399,0:12:26.000

the year most of the time they don't

 

0:12:23.519,0:12:27.399

come to the call but there are so many

 

0:12:26.000,0:12:29.240

of them that do have and if you're

 

0:12:27.399,0:12:31.480

trying to do [ __ ] control like a lot of

 

0:12:29.240,0:12:32.959

people are now yep lot of that whole

 

0:12:31.480,0:12:35.440

family group will come in you'll call

 

0:12:32.959,0:12:37.440

the salon and however many kittens she

 

0:12:35.440,0:12:39.279

has will come with her and so if you're

 

0:12:37.440,0:12:41.519

shotgunning and stuff like that you can

 

0:12:39.279,0:12:43.880

get you can wipe out that whole family

 

0:12:41.519,0:12:47.240

group man that's what I'm hoping I get

 

0:12:43.880,0:12:49.360

into yeah yeah I mean it's it's really

 

0:12:47.240,0:12:51.199

effective at thinning you know thinning

 

0:12:49.360,0:12:54.240

your [ __ ] numbers down if that's what

 

0:12:51.199,0:12:56.440

you're wanting to do um or if you're

 

0:12:54.240,0:12:59.560

just doing it for fun or whatever but

 

0:12:56.440,0:13:01.480

both both I'm looking for both fun and

 

0:12:59.560,0:13:04.199

and and put a den in

 

0:13:01.480,0:13:06.680

them yeah but that's one thing to keep

 

0:13:04.199,0:13:08.560

in mind is that not all the coons are

 

0:13:06.680,0:13:10.240

attracted to it some of them are gonna

 

0:13:08.560,0:13:11.680

and don't let you know don't let that

 

0:13:10.240,0:13:14.040

discourage you if you happen to have

 

0:13:11.680,0:13:16.120

eyes on a cone see it in the tree shine

 

0:13:14.040,0:13:18.040

its eyes see the deer feeder whatever

 

0:13:16.120,0:13:19.760

see it cross the road you turn the call

 

0:13:18.040,0:13:22.880

on and it doesn't come or it runs away

 

0:13:19.760,0:13:25.480

from you that is to be expected that

 

0:13:22.880,0:13:28.880

that happens but those Coons that have

 

0:13:25.480,0:13:30.440

kittens this time of year either her

 

0:13:28.880,0:13:32.959

alone and a lot of times you'll have two

 

0:13:30.440,0:13:35.120

or three different salons come in by by

 

0:13:32.959,0:13:37.959

their s awesome you kill a triple or

 

0:13:35.120,0:13:39.399

something on one one stand and then

 

0:13:37.959,0:13:42.920

you'll also have them where that whole

 

0:13:39.399,0:13:46.519

family comes and then when you get into

 

0:13:42.920,0:13:48.720

the outside once just like with the cods

 

0:13:46.519,0:13:51.600

once those family groups bust up and

 

0:13:48.720,0:13:54.480

they are kind of doing their own thing

 

0:13:51.600,0:13:57.279

then you start your [ __ ] calling gets

 

0:13:54.480,0:14:01.800

more random where you steal call Coons

 

0:13:57.279,0:14:04.199

but it may not be at as you know ever St

 

0:14:01.800,0:14:06.199

like it can be time the year and then

 

0:14:04.199,0:14:08.600

when you get once they start breeding

 

0:14:06.199,0:14:10.680

whatever time frame that is for you know

 

0:14:08.600,0:14:12.959

the different areas and you just have to

 

0:14:10.680,0:14:15.839

check that in your area see when it is

 

0:14:12.959,0:14:17.320

that's awesome too because them big bore

 

0:14:15.839,0:14:18.959

con come running in there and a lot of

 

0:14:17.320,0:14:21.440

times when you kill them it's it's as

 

0:14:18.959,0:14:23.320

big as the cones get for that area and

 

0:14:21.440,0:14:25.839

they'll have split ears and they're real

 

0:14:23.320,0:14:27.720

aggressive they will fre you you know

 

0:14:25.839,0:14:29.279

they'll get two or three feet from you

 

0:14:27.720,0:14:31.000

as long as they don't smell

 

0:14:29.279,0:14:33.199

a lot of times they're growling at you

 

0:14:31.000,0:14:36.160

you know they're looking it's like they

 

0:14:33.199,0:14:38.079

don't realize they don't size you up

 

0:14:36.160,0:14:41.800

like humans do they see you and they're

 

0:14:38.079,0:14:44.399

like I can whop his ass I got him I got

 

0:14:41.800,0:14:47.120

him it's fun I mean they will run over

 

0:14:44.399,0:14:49.680

your tee and I think if you put the call

 

0:14:47.120,0:14:51.360

on your shoulder some of those Coons

 

0:14:49.680,0:14:54.320

would run up there and knock the call

 

0:14:51.360,0:14:56.199

off I've shot through them with Aras

 

0:14:54.320,0:14:58.800

yeah and then feel I mean I've got

 

0:14:56.199,0:15:01.279

videos where I shoot them and shoot

 

0:14:58.800,0:15:02.759

clean through them and that [ __ ] just

 

0:15:01.279,0:15:04.920

keeps on coming runs up there and he'll

 

0:15:02.759,0:15:06.920

slap the call and then blood squirting

 

0:15:04.920,0:15:09.680

out both sides of him and then him go to

 

0:15:06.920,0:15:12.000

kicking right there beside it

 

0:15:09.680,0:15:15.079

after

 

0:15:12.000,0:15:17.720

aesome Let's uh you was talking about

 

0:15:15.079,0:15:19.560

you know using raccoon sounds what let's

 

0:15:17.720,0:15:22.880

talk about that what type of sounds do

 

0:15:19.560,0:15:25.600

you run for calling raccoons and um you

 

0:15:22.880,0:15:26.920

know at at you know different types of

 

0:15:25.600,0:15:28.240

sounds that you'll play at different

 

0:15:26.920,0:15:31.079

times of year say like you're in the

 

0:15:28.240,0:15:33.240

fall October November time frame what

 

0:15:31.079,0:15:35.560

you would run and then you was mentioned

 

0:15:33.240,0:15:40.160

like the breeding season uh you can you

 

0:15:35.560,0:15:42.360

can finish up with that yeah so to get

 

0:15:40.160,0:15:45.639

started with it and and I have this

 

0:15:42.360,0:15:47.279

happen throughout the you know if I

 

0:15:45.639,0:15:49.279

start calling during summer and call all

 

0:15:47.279,0:15:51.199

the way through fall and into winter

 

0:15:49.279,0:15:53.959

you'll have this happen kind of like

 

0:15:51.199,0:15:55.759

fishing and changing baits usually when

 

0:15:53.959,0:15:57.440

I go if it's been a little while since

 

0:15:55.759,0:15:58.880

let's just say I hadn't been or like if

 

0:15:57.440,0:16:00.759

you were going to start in your area or

 

0:15:58.880,0:16:01.800

somebody's gonna start in their area I

 

0:16:00.759,0:16:04.480

would

 

0:16:01.800,0:16:07.639

go this time of the year this fall time

 

0:16:04.480,0:16:10.199

frame and I would focus primarily on

 

0:16:07.639,0:16:13.880

those [ __ ] distress sounds like young

 

0:16:10.199,0:16:17.120

[ __ ] type distress sounds or those young

 

0:16:13.880,0:16:19.560

[ __ ] feeding sounds and then I end it

 

0:16:17.120,0:16:22.079

with the fights but typically the way I

 

0:16:19.560,0:16:24.199

figure out what they're biting on is

 

0:16:22.079,0:16:26.399

when I get to my spot and I get set up

 

0:16:24.199,0:16:28.720

I'll turn a sound on and I just randomly

 

0:16:26.399,0:16:31.600

pick any of those young [ __ ] distress

 

0:16:28.720,0:16:33.839

type sounds and I'll start with one and

 

0:16:31.600,0:16:36.920

I'll play it for about two minutes two

 

0:16:33.839,0:16:38.839

minutes time frame hits on my remote I

 

0:16:36.920,0:16:40.920

swap to another one run it for about two

 

0:16:38.839,0:16:42.839

minutes and I'll go through about four

 

0:16:40.920,0:16:45.120

or five sounds and that'll usually get

 

0:16:42.839,0:16:46.680

me about you know eight minutes or so is

 

0:16:45.120,0:16:48.959

kind of what I'm shooting for so in

 

0:16:46.680,0:16:51.279

eight minutes I'll play about four

 

0:16:48.959,0:16:53.639

different sounds two minutes

 

0:16:51.279,0:16:56.519

each I go to the ne if I don't call a

 

0:16:53.639,0:16:58.040

[ __ ] I go to the next stand I'll do the

 

0:16:56.519,0:16:59.920

same thing but with four different

 

0:16:58.040,0:17:01.839

sounds or I might mix one or two of the

 

0:16:59.920,0:17:04.439

same sounds if they know they've worked

 

0:17:01.839,0:17:06.480

well in the past and then when I call a

 

0:17:04.439,0:17:09.400

[ __ ] the first [ __ ] that shows up

 

0:17:06.480,0:17:11.160

whatever sound he shows up on that's

 

0:17:09.400,0:17:13.559

going to be the sound I start with on

 

0:17:11.160,0:17:16.919

the next stand okay and I do the same

 

0:17:13.559,0:17:18.439

thing until I find a couple of sounds

 

0:17:16.919,0:17:20.760

that they're triggering on really good

 

0:17:18.439,0:17:25.120

and that will change from you know you

 

0:17:20.760,0:17:26.959

may go today and they're triggering on

 

0:17:25.120,0:17:29.600

Fox Pro youngon distress which is a

 

0:17:26.959,0:17:32.360

really good one and the other one may be

 

0:17:29.600,0:17:35.160

mk's jabon those may be the two sounds

 

0:17:32.360,0:17:37.039

that are just killer that day and you go

 

0:17:35.160,0:17:39.160

next week and you run those two sounds

 

0:17:37.039,0:17:42.960

over and you're not calling anything up

 

0:17:39.160,0:17:44.720

you can swap over to Baby [ __ ] Den or

 

0:17:42.960,0:17:46.880

baby [ __ ] big [ __ ] fight and all of a

 

0:17:44.720,0:17:49.200

sudden those Coons for whatever reason

 

0:17:46.880,0:17:51.559

are triggering better on those two

 

0:17:49.200,0:17:53.320

sounds just like CS you know how they'll

 

0:17:51.559,0:17:54.679

get on a you'll get on a stretch of

 

0:17:53.320,0:17:56.080

sounds where you're just wearing them

 

0:17:54.679,0:17:58.400

out and then all of a sudden for

 

0:17:56.080,0:17:59.600

whatever reason those sounds seem like

 

0:17:58.400,0:18:02.679

you're not working as well and you'll

 

0:17:59.600,0:18:05.039

find something else yep the coons Coons

 

0:18:02.679,0:18:07.760

are the same way it's just a lot easier

 

0:18:05.039,0:18:10.159

with the coons because when you make a

 

0:18:07.760,0:18:11.760

stand if you'll run through your sounds

 

0:18:10.159,0:18:13.120

and play them about two minutes each

 

0:18:11.760,0:18:15.000

because those coons get there fast

 

0:18:13.120,0:18:17.120

they're not GNA come from very far and

 

0:18:15.000,0:18:19.799

they get there quick so if you run a

 

0:18:17.120,0:18:21.159

sound for a couple minutes and he's not

 

0:18:19.799,0:18:23.520

there and you swap to another one and

 

0:18:21.159,0:18:26.480

you do that over you know three four

 

0:18:23.520,0:18:28.880

five six stands if the coons are calling

 

0:18:26.480,0:18:30.480

by that point you're gonna figure out a

 

0:18:28.880,0:18:33.520

couple of sounds that they're triggering

 

0:18:30.480,0:18:35.280

on and so from there once I get that

 

0:18:33.520,0:18:38.080

figured out let's say they're they're

 

0:18:35.280,0:18:40.280

biting on whatever two sounds then I

 

0:18:38.080,0:18:42.120

alter the way that I start calling from

 

0:18:40.280,0:18:44.919

there and I'll usually run those two

 

0:18:42.120,0:18:49.080

sounds for about four minutes each and

 

0:18:44.919,0:18:50.520

then I move on I got you so it's you

 

0:18:49.080,0:18:52.120

know it's to begin with you're just

 

0:18:50.520,0:18:54.400

figuring out what they're biting on at

 

0:18:52.120,0:18:56.559

that specific time then once you get

 

0:18:54.400,0:18:58.960

those one or two sounds I'll run

 

0:18:56.559,0:19:02.799

basically a a seven eight minute it

 

0:18:58.960,0:19:04.880

stand and then as far as how far to go

 

0:19:02.799,0:19:07.159

and just continuing on the process a lot

 

0:19:04.880,0:19:09.640

of times I'm just walking yeah or I'm in

 

0:19:07.159,0:19:12.200

my boat and I'm just going you know two

 

0:19:09.640,0:19:14.880

300 yards is all you need to move on

 

0:19:12.200,0:19:17.520

Coons okay you know I'll make a stand

 

0:19:14.880,0:19:19.840

move about I usually move 300 yards or

 

0:19:17.520,0:19:23.720

so is about what I'm moving and make

 

0:19:19.840,0:19:26.840

another stand and you'll call Coons

 

0:19:23.720,0:19:30.159

on you know that short a distance you'll

 

0:19:26.840,0:19:33.080

you'll call Coons volume let that sucker

 

0:19:30.159,0:19:36.480

Hammer [ __ ] like a lot of volume and so

 

0:19:33.080,0:19:38.919

I'm running on like the x24 I'm usually

 

0:19:36.480,0:19:41.559

running some people will run It Wide

 

0:19:38.919,0:19:43.720

Open I'm usually running in that 32 34

 

0:19:41.559,0:19:47.120

range which is which is screaming on the

 

0:19:43.720,0:19:49.039

24 yeah yeah especially with those [ __ ]

 

0:19:47.120,0:19:51.120

distress sounds so you're reaching out

 

0:19:49.039,0:19:52.600

there with that but if you if you're

 

0:19:51.120,0:19:55.080

running

 

0:19:52.600,0:19:58.760

something anything outside of those X

 

0:19:55.080,0:20:01.919

Series calls i' full volume

 

0:19:58.760,0:20:04.720

blast yep you I'd be up there running

 

0:20:01.919,0:20:07.039

volume 40 and you know on some of the

 

0:20:04.720,0:20:09.320

the smaller units run them wide open X

 

0:20:07.039,0:20:13.159

Series any of the X Series stuff I'd be

 

0:20:09.320,0:20:15.039

in those you know mid-30s low to mid-30s

 

0:20:13.159,0:20:16.440

that sounds good so you're saying you

 

0:20:15.039,0:20:18.600

know if you're going to go make a coyot

 

0:20:16.440,0:20:21.080

stand you're you're calling for about

 

0:20:18.600,0:20:22.400

eight minutes if if nothing shows in

 

0:20:21.080,0:20:24.760

eight minutes you're packing up and

 

0:20:22.400,0:20:28.799

moving two three 350 yards and making

 

0:20:24.760,0:20:33.559

another stand right yep yep awesome what

 

0:20:28.799,0:20:35.480

about what what changes up does does S

 

0:20:33.559,0:20:37.039

type of sound change when you're talking

 

0:20:35.480,0:20:38.880

about that breeding season that you was

 

0:20:37.039,0:20:41.720

mentioning earlier do you do you still

 

0:20:38.880,0:20:45.360

play some of that young [ __ ] distress or

 

0:20:41.720,0:20:47.520

is it more bites and stuff like that I

 

0:20:45.360,0:20:49.360

don't yeah it does change a little this

 

0:20:47.520,0:20:51.600

time of the year I don't play much fight

 

0:20:49.360,0:20:55.000

stuff at all I kind of save that for the

 

0:20:51.600,0:20:57.159

breeding okay okay so this time I might

 

0:20:55.000,0:20:58.880

if I'm not calling Coons or maybe I've

 

0:20:57.159,0:21:00.600

called in some sometimes you'll call in

 

0:20:58.880,0:21:03.600

a [ __ ] not get a shot or you may have

 

0:21:00.600,0:21:05.799

one show up or and another one's coming

 

0:21:03.600,0:21:07.559

and you shoot the first one and it kind

 

0:21:05.799,0:21:10.080

of like doing coow you can swap over to

 

0:21:07.559,0:21:11.760

a fight s maybe call that [ __ ] back in

 

0:21:10.080,0:21:13.480

I'll do that a little bit this time of

 

0:21:11.760,0:21:17.320

the year but for the most part I'm

 

0:21:13.480,0:21:20.720

sticking with those either young [ __ ]

 

0:21:17.320,0:21:23.279

distress sounds or baby [ __ ] feeding

 

0:21:20.720,0:21:25.360

type stuff like that baby [ __ ] den and

 

0:21:23.279,0:21:27.120

jabber [ __ ] those are hungry [ __ ]

 

0:21:25.360,0:21:28.520

kittens that are not in distress they're

 

0:21:27.120,0:21:30.559

just shattering and they work pretty

 

0:21:28.520,0:21:31.960

good for calling those Styles and then

 

0:21:30.559,0:21:35.440

some of the other ones like Fox Pro

 

0:21:31.960,0:21:39.000

young [ __ ] distress is a really good one

 

0:21:35.440,0:21:42.000

um their actual distress sound so that's

 

0:21:39.000,0:21:44.159

primarily what I run now what changes

 

0:21:42.000,0:21:47.559

going into breeding season is I still

 

0:21:44.159,0:21:49.840

run some of those distress sounds but I

 

0:21:47.559,0:21:53.360

mix in you know some of those fights

 

0:21:49.840,0:21:56.400

like big [ __ ] mfk big [ __ ] baby [ __ ] box

 

0:21:53.360,0:21:58.840

Pros [ __ ] fight you know you'll mix some

 

0:21:56.400,0:22:01.039

of those in and a lot of times if those

 

0:21:58.840,0:22:02.960

borons don't show up on those distress

 

0:22:01.039,0:22:05.039

sounds they'll show up on those fights

 

0:22:02.960,0:22:08.400

or you may kill one early in the stand

 

0:22:05.039,0:22:10.400

on the distress and then call another

 

0:22:08.400,0:22:12.919

one in when you swap to the fights just

 

0:22:10.400,0:22:15.440

like Co calling and picking up extra

 

0:22:12.919,0:22:17.480

coats so would you would you do that for

 

0:22:15.440,0:22:19.679

the fall calling as well say if you call

 

0:22:17.480,0:22:22.720

one in in the first two minutes to some

 

0:22:19.679,0:22:25.720

form of of young raccoon distress and

 

0:22:22.720,0:22:27.400

you kill one is the stand over or do you

 

0:22:25.720,0:22:30.080

keep running the same sound or will you

 

0:22:27.400,0:22:33.200

swap to a fight or what's the game

 

0:22:30.080,0:22:36.799

plan some of some of both all all of

 

0:22:33.200,0:22:38.919

that so usually when you you'll kill a

 

0:22:36.799,0:22:40.720

lot of singles but you'll also have a

 

0:22:38.919,0:22:42.840

lot of stands where you're in them thick

 

0:22:40.720,0:22:48.120

and I mean I've had stands where I call

 

0:22:42.840,0:22:50.559

in six seven grown adult T you know

 

0:22:48.120,0:22:53.360

that's and it's not uncommon to call in

 

0:22:50.559,0:22:54.960

two or three you know on a stand that's

 

0:22:53.360,0:22:58.000

that's pretty common two or three is

 

0:22:54.960,0:22:59.880

pretty common and a lot of times that is

 

0:22:58.000,0:23:01.240

you can keep that same sound running if

 

0:22:59.880,0:23:04.960

you found something that's working

 

0:23:01.240,0:23:06.840

really good or what I do is you know if

 

0:23:04.960,0:23:08.320

I call that first one in and a lot of

 

0:23:06.840,0:23:09.880

times they show up at the same time you

 

0:23:08.320,0:23:12.559

shoot one keep it

 

0:23:09.880,0:23:14.679

running and if another one doesn't show

 

0:23:12.559,0:23:17.039

up you know in 30 seconds or minute then

 

0:23:14.679,0:23:19.400

I'll swap to another sound and then

 

0:23:17.039,0:23:21.559

maybe play a light at the end of it to

 

0:23:19.400,0:23:24.480

see if I can pull those Coons back in or

 

0:23:21.559,0:23:27.080

pull another one in and again you're not

 

0:23:24.480,0:23:28.799

giving them a whole lot of time most of

 

0:23:27.080,0:23:31.240

the time if they're going to come back

 

0:23:28.799,0:23:33.039

or if another one's going to come it's

 

0:23:31.240,0:23:36.760

still all going to be within that seven

 

0:23:33.039,0:23:39.120

eight minute time frame right okay yep

 

0:23:36.760,0:23:41.960

early on when I first started learning

 

0:23:39.120,0:23:44.480

how to do it I ran some really long

 

0:23:41.960,0:23:46.720

stands you know like 12 15 minutes more

 

0:23:44.480,0:23:48.600

like you might would for coat stands and

 

0:23:46.720,0:23:51.480

stuff some of your maybe shorter coat

 

0:23:48.600,0:23:53.840

stands but those are extremely long [ __ ]

 

0:23:51.480,0:23:58.440

stands and you will pick up a [ __ ] here

 

0:23:53.840,0:24:00.240

or there in those you know long stand

 

0:23:58.440,0:24:04.240

type scenarios but there're so few and

 

0:24:00.240,0:24:06.640

far between that it's not worth you know

 

0:24:04.240,0:24:09.600

right spending extra time you're better

 

0:24:06.640,0:24:12.080

300 yards yeah you'll kill more Coons

 

0:24:09.600,0:24:14.919

that way by making those those shorter

 

0:24:12.080,0:24:16.960

stands and and as I progress with it you

 

0:24:14.919,0:24:18.279

know I get impatient and a lot of times

 

0:24:16.960,0:24:19.799

when they're calling good and I'm

 

0:24:18.279,0:24:21.520

killing those Coons you know in the

 

0:24:19.799,0:24:23.440

first most of the time you'll kill them

 

0:24:21.520,0:24:25.720

in the first couple sequences of the

 

0:24:23.440,0:24:28.279

sound you know first couple minutes yeah

 

0:24:25.720,0:24:30.440

and you know I get to when they're

 

0:24:28.279,0:24:33.360

calling good and I know they're calling

 

0:24:30.440,0:24:36.520

good six minutes or so I may run if I've

 

0:24:33.360,0:24:38.600

got two sounds there there were two

 

0:24:36.520,0:24:40.559

sounds that I killed the bulk of the

 

0:24:38.600,0:24:42.799

[ __ ] supper and I was I got to where I

 

0:24:50.279,0:24:55.600

was playing those two sounds about three

 

0:24:52.200,0:24:58.520

minutes a piece and just smashing them

 

0:24:55.600,0:25:01.080

awesome and there are

 

0:24:58.520,0:25:02.919

multiple as far as just some really good

 

0:25:01.080,0:25:04.799

sounds if a guy was going to add sounds

 

0:25:02.919,0:25:07.679

he didn't have [ __ ] sounds on his call

 

0:25:04.799,0:25:10.960

0:25:10.960,0:25:16.840

0:25:27.000,0:25:31.200

must haves and then there's there'll be

 

0:25:28.679,0:25:34.880

several more that release that have been

 

0:25:31.200,0:25:38.240

pretty good but those are those are some

 

0:25:34.880,0:25:41.000

just general allpurpose this time of the

 

0:25:38.240,0:25:44.399

year you know summer fall winter those

 

0:25:41.000,0:25:46.760

sounds will kill you some cones awesome

 

0:25:44.399,0:25:48.600

awesome you was talking about you know

 

0:25:46.760,0:25:49.679

running a couple different sounds you

 

0:25:48.600,0:25:51.760

know when they're coming good you're

 

0:25:49.679,0:25:54.600

playing usually two two sounds and

 

0:25:51.760,0:25:58.080

you're running a six-minute stand um I'm

 

0:25:54.600,0:26:00.159

assuming no pauses at all ever and if

 

0:25:58.080,0:26:01.960

you and if you're switching sounds do

 

0:26:00.159,0:26:04.760

you pause any or you just feed right

 

0:26:01.960,0:26:07.120

into the to number two sound right to

 

0:26:04.760,0:26:09.120

the next sound with with coons you know

 

0:26:07.120,0:26:12.279

I run a lot of pauses on my coach stands

 

0:26:09.120,0:26:14.360

I think they help you but with coons you

 

0:26:12.279,0:26:16.399

want that sound going if you pause it on

 

0:26:14.360,0:26:19.399

him a lot of times he will he'll turn

 

0:26:16.399,0:26:22.200

around to leave or he'll hang him up so

 

0:26:19.399,0:26:24.440

I keep the noise running and I roll from

 

0:26:22.200,0:26:26.880

one sound you know if while it's

 

0:26:24.440,0:26:28.880

playing I've already scrolled down got

 

0:26:26.880,0:26:31.520

my next sound ready to go and when I get

 

0:26:28.880,0:26:33.200

ready to swap it over you know usually

 

0:26:31.520,0:26:35.960

when there there are those natural

 

0:26:33.200,0:26:37.799

breaks and pauses in the sound I usually

 

0:26:35.960,0:26:39.559

when that hits you know I'm timing it to

 

0:26:37.799,0:26:41.440

where it rolls into that next sound

 

0:26:39.559,0:26:43.880

smooth but it don't matter okay you can

 

0:26:41.440,0:26:45.840

just hit it anytime you want to and I

 

0:26:43.880,0:26:48.919

keep that sound going continuous the

 

0:26:45.840,0:26:50.640

full length of the stand great info um

 

0:26:48.919,0:26:52.520

here's a here's a pretty good question I

 

0:26:50.640,0:26:53.919

think that uh some people will be

 

0:26:52.520,0:26:55.640

wondering about and I'm wondering about

 

0:26:53.919,0:26:58.559

myself and I kind I think I know the

 

0:26:55.640,0:27:00.640

answer to it but uh how close do you

 

0:26:58.559,0:27:02.559

usually want to put your Fox Pro unit

 

0:27:00.640,0:27:04.720

from you when you're calling for RAC

 

0:27:02.559,0:27:07.320

cones fairly

 

0:27:04.720,0:27:10.320

close however close you want the the

 

0:27:07.320,0:27:13.240

action to be I'm telling you I mean I

 

0:27:10.320,0:27:15.799

put it close because I like that yeah

 

0:27:13.240,0:27:17.880

you know I I love the that's what's so

 

0:27:15.799,0:27:20.720

fun about the [ __ ] calling is if they

 

0:27:17.880,0:27:24.039

don't smell you they are so aggressive

 

0:27:20.720,0:27:26.399

to the call especially some Coons

 

0:27:24.039,0:27:28.240

they're so aggressive to the call you

 

0:27:26.399,0:27:30.360

could put the call leave it hanging

 

0:27:28.240,0:27:32.240

around your neck oh man and the coons

 

0:27:30.360,0:27:34.480

would hit you I mean that I'm not

 

0:27:32.240,0:27:38.039

exaggerating the co will hit you they'll

 

0:27:34.480,0:27:40.480

run into you and I mean

 

0:27:38.039,0:27:42.799

it's I don't even know if I should tell

 

0:27:40.480,0:27:45.000

this but I've got a couple I've got this

 

0:27:42.799,0:27:48.039

on video I was wearing a GoPro on my

 

0:27:45.000,0:27:50.360

head I've got a couple of them from just

 

0:27:48.039,0:27:53.240

here recently where I was shooting that

 

0:27:50.360,0:27:55.960

Longbow had multiple Coons come in two

 

0:27:53.240,0:27:58.080

separate occasions I shoot one of the

 

0:27:55.960,0:28:00.240

coons and the other one turns and runs

 

0:27:58.080,0:28:03.240

directly to me and I kill it with my

 

0:28:00.240,0:28:03.240

foot stomp

 

0:28:03.360,0:28:09.320

it that's pretty close action there yeah

 

0:28:07.559,0:28:13.080

actually I got some really good sounds

 

0:28:09.320,0:28:13.080

out of them before I bet you

 

0:28:13.399,0:28:19.480

did that's how close they'll get to you

 

0:28:16.360,0:28:21.159

and like I said you you will shoot them

 

0:28:19.480,0:28:23.279

and they will continue coming to the

 

0:28:21.159,0:28:25.840

call you know steel not all of them some

 

0:28:23.279,0:28:28.200

of them are it depends on I guess the

 

0:28:25.840,0:28:30.000

personality and just how works worked up

 

0:28:28.200,0:28:32.600

they are but you'll have certain cones

 

0:28:30.000,0:28:34.000

that man you'll you'll shoot at them

 

0:28:32.600,0:28:36.240

they just keep on maybe you miss them

 

0:28:34.000,0:28:39.279

with a shotgun blow dirt all over don't

 

0:28:36.240,0:28:42.279

care they don't care he'll run through

 

0:28:39.279,0:28:44.600

it big cloud of dust and a big Boron

 

0:28:42.279,0:28:47.679

will run through it growling and

 

0:28:44.600,0:28:50.200

snoring they must be gray fox and

 

0:28:47.679,0:28:51.519

raccoons must be related somehow it

 

0:28:50.200,0:28:53.640

seems like I've heard the same type of

 

0:28:51.519,0:28:56.399

stories about gray foxes in certain

 

0:28:53.640,0:28:58.360

areas it is and a guy called me just the

 

0:28:56.399,0:29:00.039

other day talking about he was he was

 

0:28:58.360,0:29:01.360

talking about calling I can't remember

 

0:29:00.039,0:29:03.279

if he was talking about gray fox and

 

0:29:01.360,0:29:04.960

call he was calling in Coons or if he

 

0:29:03.279,0:29:06.840

was calling Coons and calling in Gray

 

0:29:04.960,0:29:09.399

Fox but I've had that happen some too

 

0:29:06.840,0:29:11.960

and you know they kind of have a similar

 

0:29:09.399,0:29:14.360

voice and they're both really aggressive

 

0:29:11.960,0:29:16.000

to the sound so you'll have that some

 

0:29:14.360,0:29:18.480

but man

 

0:29:16.000,0:29:20.919

it's I know it's a little predator and

 

0:29:18.480,0:29:23.519

it's not the same as as uh you know

 

0:29:20.919,0:29:26.399

they're kind of I don't know what you'd

 

0:29:23.519,0:29:29.480

call them but kind of like Fox but they

 

0:29:26.399,0:29:32.000

are there's so much fun to to call I

 

0:29:29.480,0:29:35.000

can't anybody likes to co call should

 

0:29:32.000,0:29:36.559

love Coe calling if you've got kids or

 

0:29:35.000,0:29:38.399

0:29:36.559,0:29:40.600

that wants you know you need something

 

0:29:38.399,0:29:42.200

that's fast action to hold their

 

0:29:40.600,0:29:44.760

attention get them into it you can't

 

0:29:42.200,0:29:46.919

beat [ __ ] and especially when you get it

 

0:29:44.760,0:29:50.399

figured out and you've got them calling

 

0:29:46.919,0:29:52.360

0:30:05.320,0:30:09.000

them Creek bottoms and stuff like that

 

0:30:17.480,0:30:21.760

it's just perfect habitat for raccoon so

 

0:30:19.960,0:30:23.480

you know I might not be worth a darn at

 

0:30:21.760,0:30:26.120

0:30:23.480,0:30:27.360

for sure oh you'll you'll love it's

 

0:30:26.120,0:30:29.120

going to be one of those deals you know

 

0:30:27.360,0:30:31.039

when it's new when you first start doing

 

0:30:29.120,0:30:32.559

it and you start calling them in and

 

0:30:31.039,0:30:33.880

they're so aggressive even though it's

 

0:30:32.559,0:30:36.720

just a little

 

0:30:33.880,0:30:38.399

[ __ ] it's going to hook you to the point

 

0:30:36.720,0:30:40.399

that you're not gonna want a cow call

 

0:30:38.399,0:30:43.440

for a day or two you're G

 

0:30:40.399,0:30:47.559

you're get you know get the fun out of

 

0:30:43.440,0:30:50.720

it but uh yeah it's it's good stuff hard

 

0:30:47.559,0:30:53.279

to hard to beat K Callin well just for a

 

0:30:50.720,0:30:56.039

good time especially right well tell us

 

0:30:53.279,0:30:58.120

about decoys are are decoys important

 

0:30:56.039,0:31:00.159

for raccoon Colin and how effective can

 

0:30:58.120,0:31:03.200

they be I've seen videos where you know

 

0:31:00.159,0:31:05.320

they'll have uh decoys spinning while

 

0:31:03.200,0:31:07.960

they're doing it and you know it looks

 

0:31:05.320,0:31:10.440

like raccoons just PL tackle like

 

0:31:07.960,0:31:12.919

football tackle the call is it a good

 

0:31:10.440,0:31:15.360

idea to run a decoy will they deter them

 

0:31:12.919,0:31:17.799

any at all have you ever seen that I

 

0:31:15.360,0:31:20.039

hadn't ran many we done it some right

 

0:31:17.799,0:31:22.440

off the bat early

 

0:31:20.039,0:31:25.039

and I don't think as long as they don't

 

0:31:22.440,0:31:27.320

smell something they're usually going to

 

0:31:25.039,0:31:31.639

hit it and even without a decoy that

 

0:31:27.320,0:31:34.200

that sound is continuous they usually

 

0:31:31.639,0:31:36.679

run and they grab it I mean they'll grab

 

0:31:34.200,0:31:38.760

I've had I shot one this one hadn't come

 

0:31:36.679,0:31:41.320

out yet me and Dayton Dayton was filming

 

0:31:38.760,0:31:43.600

I was shooting shooting bows this [ __ ]

 

0:31:41.320,0:31:45.320

comes running in and I I usually when

 

0:31:43.600,0:31:47.960

I'm shooting them with bows I put the

 

0:31:45.320,0:31:50.120

call up off the ground and I had this

 

0:31:47.960,0:31:52.960

call hanging on a tree about it's about

 

0:31:50.120,0:31:54.360

head high you know 5 foot off the ground

 

0:31:52.960,0:31:56.080

or so six foot off the ground somewhere

 

0:31:54.360,0:31:57.760

in that neighborhood well this [ __ ]

 

0:31:56.080,0:31:59.320

comes in and as he has hesitates just

 

0:31:57.760,0:32:00.840

before he goes to jump on the tree I

 

0:31:59.320,0:32:03.559

shoot him shoot him right behind the

 

0:32:00.840,0:32:05.799

shoulders pass through him blood SPS out

 

0:32:03.559,0:32:07.240

of him that thing jumps and runs up the

 

0:32:05.799,0:32:08.880

tree and I think at the time I was I

 

0:32:07.240,0:32:10.720

can't remember if I had the x24 or if it

 

0:32:08.880,0:32:13.120

was a CS either way it's got the little

 

0:32:10.720,0:32:16.320

toggle switch on it that [ __ ] runs up

 

0:32:13.120,0:32:18.279

the tree with a hole right through him

 

0:32:16.320,0:32:20.320

runs up there and grabs that call and

 

0:32:18.279,0:32:23.760

turns it off he grabs a toggle switch

 

0:32:20.320,0:32:26.360

and turns the call off and then fall is

 

0:32:23.760,0:32:28.799

holding has a hold to the call when he

 

0:32:26.360,0:32:32.320

falls out on the ground oh my gosh under

 

0:32:28.799,0:32:34.519

the tree I it is some it is some I mean

 

0:32:32.320,0:32:36.120

you got to do it to believe some of the

 

0:32:34.519,0:32:38.679

some of the things they'll do with how

 

0:32:36.120,0:32:41.440

aggressive they are but they'll grab

 

0:32:38.679,0:32:44.440

that call run and hit it full blast just

 

0:32:41.440,0:32:46.120

like football hit it grab it but you

 

0:32:44.440,0:32:49.000

know how they're front feet are they

 

0:32:46.120,0:32:50.799

grab yeah so they'll grab and roll with

 

0:32:49.000,0:32:53.039

the call they'll have it now once they

 

0:32:50.799,0:32:55.279

hit it they usually that that's they

 

0:32:53.039,0:32:57.840

smell it as they hit it right and so

 

0:32:55.279,0:33:00.279

usually when they hit it they take off

 

0:32:57.840,0:33:01.679

so but you they're slow enough that you

 

0:33:00.279,0:33:03.960

know if you're shotgunning and stuff

 

0:33:01.679,0:33:06.600

like that or rifle it don't work that

 

0:33:03.960,0:33:09.200

good with a bow unless you like them

 

0:33:06.600,0:33:11.880

running shots but they'll hit it roll

 

0:33:09.200,0:33:13.639

the call and then take off and you can

 

0:33:11.880,0:33:15.559

you know you can wait and let that

 

0:33:13.639,0:33:19.120

happen if you want to see that action

 

0:33:15.559,0:33:21.000

and still kill them I gotta so it's but

 

0:33:19.120,0:33:24.159

a lot of them do that a lot of them will

 

0:33:21.000,0:33:25.880

run in there and they never let up

 

0:33:24.159,0:33:27.919

they're running as hard as they can run

 

0:33:25.880,0:33:29.279

when they and and hear them too they're

 

0:33:27.919,0:33:30.880

they're growling a lot of times while

 

0:33:29.279,0:33:36.120

they're running and they'll hit that

 

0:33:30.880,0:33:38.000

call roll it and you know that's it's

 

0:33:36.120,0:33:39.919

awesome it's a drenaline Rush even

 

0:33:38.000,0:33:41.200

though it's just a [ __ ] well let me ask

 

0:33:39.919,0:33:43.519

you this you're talking about you know

 

0:33:41.200,0:33:45.440

when they hit the call they smell it you

 

0:33:43.519,0:33:49.159

telling us about the importance of have

 

0:33:45.440,0:33:52.360

having the wind in your favor uh can can

 

0:33:49.159,0:33:54.840

a raccoon become C shy if you mess up on

 

0:33:52.360,0:33:57.039

them like if you let them smell you or

 

0:33:54.840,0:33:58.639

say you shoot and miss them or you you

 

0:33:57.039,0:34:00.120

know whatever let them come in hit the

 

0:33:58.639,0:34:01.639

call and they get out there without you

 

0:34:00.120,0:34:04.720

getting a shot at them is that is that

 

0:34:01.639,0:34:07.279

raccoon Now call shy I I think that they

 

0:34:04.720,0:34:09.240

probably do and the reason I say that is

 

0:34:07.279,0:34:11.200

because with some of the bow hunting

 

0:34:09.240,0:34:14.119

stuff in particular there have been

 

0:34:11.200,0:34:15.639

places where I've called there was one

 

0:34:14.119,0:34:17.720

particular spot that I remember from

 

0:34:15.639,0:34:20.040

this summer I went and I called up about

 

0:34:17.720,0:34:21.800

six Coons on the same stand and I killed

 

0:34:20.040,0:34:23.800

two of them Y and I called these other

 

0:34:21.800,0:34:25.960

ones back and forth back and forth there

 

0:34:23.800,0:34:28.040

a couple times and never could get

 

0:34:25.960,0:34:29.480

another one shot they were kind of you

 

0:34:28.040,0:34:31.320

know after I'd shot them other ones they

 

0:34:29.480,0:34:33.399

were coming still coming up but they

 

0:34:31.320,0:34:34.800

wasn't running right in there to me and

 

0:34:33.399,0:34:36.560

I kept messing with them kept messing

 

0:34:34.800,0:34:38.800

with them well there a week or so later

 

0:34:36.560,0:34:42.000

I said well I'll go right back there

 

0:34:38.800,0:34:44.639

and back up yep one of those Coons was

 

0:34:42.000,0:34:48.119

real white is there just a real distinct

 

0:34:44.639,0:34:49.560

color that came in well me and my wife

 

0:34:48.119,0:34:50.919

actually went back to this same spot I

 

0:34:49.560,0:34:53.119

said I know we'll call one right here

 

0:34:50.919,0:34:54.879

there at least four Coons that come

 

0:34:53.119,0:34:58.240

running in the last time that I didn't

 

0:34:54.879,0:35:00.280

kill so we set up up and started calling

 

0:34:58.240,0:35:01.920

and it took a little bit longer but

 

0:35:00.280,0:35:03.640

eventually that white looking cone here

 

0:35:01.920,0:35:06.520

it come from the same direction it came

 

0:35:03.640,0:35:09.440

before right but that time it ran in

 

0:35:06.520,0:35:11.599

about half as far before it ran in ran

 

0:35:09.440,0:35:13.720

over the call but that time it ran I was

 

0:35:11.599,0:35:16.520

playing a different sound but it ran in

 

0:35:13.720,0:35:18.960

and it's like it just watching its

 

0:35:16.520,0:35:22.440

reaction and the other ones never came

 

0:35:18.960,0:35:24.200

and I've had other scenarios where I've

 

0:35:22.440,0:35:25.560

called in Coons hadn't killed them went

 

0:35:24.200,0:35:28.079

back and sometimes you'll call another

 

0:35:25.560,0:35:29.960

one there but a lot of times you go back

 

0:35:28.079,0:35:32.240

and I know them cones are still you know

 

0:35:29.960,0:35:34.920

they're not traveling far and you don't

 

0:35:32.240,0:35:37.160

call them back up or they come in and

 

0:35:34.920,0:35:39.640

they start raring up you know they'll

 

0:35:37.160,0:35:42.599

get out there a little ways away from

 

0:35:39.640,0:35:44.359

the call and me trying to kill them with

 

0:35:42.599,0:35:46.000

a bow a lot of times you could kill them

 

0:35:44.359,0:35:47.839

you know if you shooting something else

 

0:35:46.000,0:35:49.839

but a lot of times with that bow I'm

 

0:35:47.839,0:35:51.880

trying to get them closer and so I get

 

0:35:49.839,0:35:55.280

to see what they're doing and they start

 

0:35:51.880,0:35:57.280

showing me some signs that all right

 

0:35:55.280,0:35:59.560

he's a little bit he's a little bit

 

0:35:57.280,0:36:02.240

suspicious of this this go around or

 

0:35:59.560,0:36:03.640

they don't show up at all and you may go

 

0:36:02.240,0:36:07.200

back and call that spot two or three

 

0:36:03.640,0:36:08.800

times and not call them up and I've had

 

0:36:07.200,0:36:11.640

areas

 

0:36:08.800,0:36:13.119

that are really good and the more you

 

0:36:11.640,0:36:15.200

call it and of course part of it you're

 

0:36:13.119,0:36:18.319

taking Coons out of there right it seems

 

0:36:15.200,0:36:20.319

to decrease your your callup success

 

0:36:18.319,0:36:24.160

seems to decrease if you keep on

 

0:36:20.319,0:36:24.160

hammering those same spots

 

0:36:24.640,0:36:30.319

so I hate to give a [ __ ] much credit but

 

0:36:28.040,0:36:32.960

I do think that they they pick up on it

 

0:36:30.319,0:36:35.240

a little bit just like I've seen some

 

0:36:32.960,0:36:37.040

Prett yeah of course and know I've seen

 

0:36:35.240,0:36:39.640

them do some pretty tricky stuff I've

 

0:36:37.040,0:36:41.720

watched some some trail camera videos

 

0:36:39.640,0:36:44.280

that's on like say deer feeders like

 

0:36:41.720,0:36:46.680

those Barrel style feeders and they they

 

0:36:44.280,0:36:48.839

get up there and like start unscrewing

 

0:36:46.680,0:36:50.240

Wing nuts and stuff like that flipping a

 

0:36:48.839,0:36:52.040

top off I mean they're pretty

 

0:36:50.240,0:36:54.240

intelligent animal so I can see where

 

0:36:52.040,0:36:57.000

they could become or you could educate

 

0:36:54.240,0:36:58.760

them yeah I think for the most part most

 

0:36:57.000,0:37:01.240

of the animals that we call and mess

 

0:36:58.760,0:37:03.319

with can be you

 

0:37:01.240,0:37:05.040

know I'm not going to say they get to

 

0:37:03.319,0:37:08.119

the point of like you know where you

 

0:37:05.040,0:37:11.800

can't go in there and kill them right

 

0:37:08.119,0:37:13.839

UNC callable right but I do think I do

 

0:37:11.800,0:37:15.680

think they get a little more instead of

 

0:37:13.839,0:37:17.680

running over running and running the

 

0:37:15.680,0:37:19.319

call cautious they're a little more

 

0:37:17.680,0:37:21.520

cautious especially if it's just been a

 

0:37:19.319,0:37:23.520

short period of time since you were in

 

0:37:21.520,0:37:26.200

there you know few days week something

 

0:37:23.520,0:37:28.760

like that but the good thing is there's

 

0:37:26.200,0:37:30.839

usually nor Coons you can you can find

 

0:37:28.760,0:37:32.480

some that hadn't Hur you right right

 

0:37:30.839,0:37:35.119

well like I said it seems like there

 

0:37:32.480,0:37:36.520

sure is plenty of them around here um

 

0:37:35.119,0:37:38.119

tell which we know you like shooting

 

0:37:36.520,0:37:41.319

them with you with your stick bow with

 

0:37:38.119,0:37:43.839

your Longbow but tell us about like your

 

0:37:41.319,0:37:46.839

preferences for like say I know you do a

 

0:37:43.839,0:37:49.720

lot with a shotgun is there any shotgun

 

0:37:46.839,0:37:52.160

gauge preference shot size choke tube

 

0:37:49.720,0:37:53.800

selection and that type stuff I mean how

 

0:37:52.160,0:37:55.839

how tough are they to kill do you need

 

0:37:53.800,0:37:56.880

to make sure you you're shooting a

 

0:37:55.839,0:37:59.760

certain thing to make make sure you're

 

0:37:56.880,0:38:01.680

rolling them up when we were

 

0:37:59.760,0:38:03.200

specifically targeting Coons and I

 

0:38:01.680,0:38:05.400

wasn't worried about something bigger

 

0:38:03.200,0:38:07.800

coming in like a code or you know

 

0:38:05.400,0:38:09.640

anything like that basically the same

 

0:38:07.800,0:38:11.720

stuff that you would you know your small

 

0:38:09.640,0:38:13.960

game loads like I probably wouldn't go

 

0:38:11.720,0:38:16.839

any smaller than like a seven and a half

 

0:38:13.960,0:38:18.599

yeah you know squirrel Dove load

 

0:38:16.839,0:38:21.359

whatever you want to call it but those

 

0:38:18.599,0:38:24.079

seven and a halfs seven and a half sixes

 

0:38:21.359,0:38:27.040

you know anything like that or

 

0:38:24.079,0:38:28.440

larger is gonna wear a [ __ ] out right of

 

0:38:27.040,0:38:30.800

course when I'm shooting them with a

 

0:38:28.440,0:38:32.440

shotgun this time of the year which I

 

0:38:30.800,0:38:34.680

rarely do it with a shotgun anymore I

 

0:38:32.440,0:38:37.079

almost always do it with the bow but you

 

0:38:34.680,0:38:40.960

know I'll I'll shoot him with that Apex

 

0:38:37.079,0:38:43.000

L right just just lay them out yeah but

 

0:38:40.960,0:38:45.319

it's you know somebody was gonna go k

 

0:38:43.000,0:38:46.800

and they wanted to make sure they got

 

0:38:45.319,0:38:51.079

them and they wanted

 

0:38:46.800,0:38:54.520

to you know use the most efficient from

 

0:38:51.079,0:38:57.839

a cost standpoint shooting lot uh just

 

0:38:54.520,0:39:01.079

any of those you know seven and a half

 

0:38:57.839,0:39:04.160

sixes anything in that range is fours

 

0:39:01.079,0:39:06.800

fives all of that stuff is going to just

 

0:39:04.160,0:39:11.000

smash a CO I know I've got a I've got a

 

0:39:06.800,0:39:12.079

big wad of 20 gauge shells some TSS

 

0:39:11.000,0:39:15.040

number

 

0:39:12.079,0:39:16.520

nines oh yeah I need to I need to shoot

 

0:39:15.040,0:39:18.880

them at something so I figured they'd be

 

0:39:16.520,0:39:21.280

pretty good in medicine for raccoon oh

 

0:39:18.880,0:39:24.720

yeah that TSS and the number nine that's

 

0:39:21.280,0:39:26.800

yeah that's yeah you can go lot smaller

 

0:39:24.720,0:39:30.079

shot size with that PSS and that's eat

 

0:39:26.800,0:39:33.319

him up I mean he ain't going to tell

 

0:39:30.079,0:39:35.040

that and then you know early on when we

 

0:39:33.319,0:39:37.880

were doing some of it specifically call

 

0:39:35.040,0:39:39.599

them we'd do it with 22 long rifle yeah

 

0:39:37.880,0:39:41.000

anything like that I mean you could

 

0:39:39.599,0:39:43.440

shoot them with a you all these people

 

0:39:41.000,0:39:48.079

want to shoot something with a 17

 

0:39:43.440,0:39:50.839

they there's there's your chance yeah

 

0:39:48.079,0:39:54.079

that's perfect for them but uh let me

 

0:39:50.839,0:39:56.640

ask you let me ask you really go ahead

 

0:39:54.079,0:39:59.880

go ahead no you go ahead teror I was

 

0:39:56.640,0:40:02.160

going to say anything from about 22 long

 

0:39:59.880,0:40:03.960

rifle on up You' be good on right

 

0:40:02.160,0:40:06.920

whatever you want to feel like packing

 

0:40:03.960,0:40:09.319

right right well that's that's pretty

 

0:40:06.920,0:40:12.599

you know I didn't know you know they are

 

0:40:09.319,0:40:14.680

they are a small animal but they're at

 

0:40:12.599,0:40:17.040

the same time for you know when you're

 

0:40:14.680,0:40:18.560

talking about squirrels and rabbits all

 

0:40:17.040,0:40:20.400

that stuff you know they're considerably

 

0:40:18.560,0:40:22.680

bigger than that I mean they weigh a few

 

0:40:20.400,0:40:24.760

pounds so and they're pretty tough

 

0:40:22.680,0:40:26.880

heighted Critters too you know i' I have

 

0:40:24.760,0:40:28.599

skinned some of them out uh you know

 

0:40:26.880,0:40:30.240

they got a pretty good little Pelt to

 

0:40:28.599,0:40:33.200

them so I didn't know if maybe some of

 

0:40:30.240,0:40:34.839

those bird shot sizes these light loads

 

0:40:33.200,0:40:36.920

might just pepper them when they run off

 

0:40:34.839,0:40:39.160

so you know it's it's good info I mean I

 

0:40:36.920,0:40:40.319

think it's a a good question to cover

 

0:40:39.160,0:40:41.680

because I definitely don't want to get

 

0:40:40.319,0:40:43.200

there and start peppering raccoons they

 

0:40:41.680,0:40:45.040

take off running and get all that big

 

0:40:43.200,0:40:47.960

excitement I was gonna have a pile of

 

0:40:45.040,0:40:51.319

raccoons to show off and and come out

 

0:40:47.960,0:40:52.640

empty-handed yeah and you know if there

 

0:40:51.319,0:40:55.640

when I'm talking about shooting them

 

0:40:52.640,0:40:56.960

with that I'm I'm talking about you know

 

0:40:55.640,0:40:59.319

them running into in there and you're

 

0:40:56.960,0:41:00.960

you're going to be shooting them you're

 

0:40:59.319,0:41:02.960

going to be shooting them at 10 yards or

 

0:41:00.960,0:41:04.720

less most of the time if you're setting

 

0:41:02.960,0:41:06.640

up that way right now if there if you

 

0:41:04.720,0:41:09.240

got Big Timber and big tall trees they

 

0:41:06.640,0:41:10.640

are tough I mean a cone is tough so you

 

0:41:09.240,0:41:13.160

know if you had

 

0:41:10.640,0:41:15.560

cones at a little farther distance right

 

0:41:13.160,0:41:17.119

up in the top of a tree or you know and

 

0:41:15.560,0:41:19.480

and some people you know you'll turn the

 

0:41:17.119,0:41:21.520

call on and it may be a den tree and

 

0:41:19.480,0:41:23.160

instead of them coming to the call

 

0:41:21.520,0:41:24.440

you'll see a [ __ ] run up the tree or if

 

0:41:23.160,0:41:26.000

you do it at night a lot of people will

 

0:41:24.440,0:41:28.760

go out and call at night and it'll make

 

0:41:26.000,0:41:30.640

the Coons all the coons in the area will

 

0:41:28.760,0:41:32.359

will look if they're around these fields

 

0:41:30.640,0:41:34.680

and you'll see people with big massive

 

0:41:32.359,0:41:36.440

piles of coons sometimes yeah that they

 

0:41:34.680,0:41:38.119

said they called in and a lot of times

 

0:41:36.440,0:41:39.760

they didn't necessarily call them in

 

0:41:38.119,0:41:43.119

they turned to call and this is really

 

0:41:39.760,0:41:45.760

effective for killing Co and you may

 

0:41:43.119,0:41:47.839

call some of them but at night you can

 

0:41:45.760,0:41:49.720

do these same tactics and do it around

 

0:41:47.839,0:41:52.079

the edge of fields or when the leaves

 

0:41:49.720,0:41:56.599

are off the trees you can turn that call

 

0:41:52.079,0:41:59.200

on and the coons in it basically Within

 

0:41:56.599,0:42:00.440

shining distance of wherever you're at

 

0:41:59.200,0:42:02.680

you can hit their eyes because they're

 

0:42:00.440,0:42:04.400

gonna be looking looking yeah and then

 

0:42:02.680,0:42:06.319

you can go shoot those cones out of the

 

0:42:04.400,0:42:07.920

trees if you know if you want to do that

 

0:42:06.319,0:42:09.839

I'm I'm wanting to call them up so I

 

0:42:07.920,0:42:11.440

don't ever do anything like that but I

 

0:42:09.839,0:42:13.160

ain't got nothing against it people that

 

0:42:11.440,0:42:15.400

are just wanting to pin out Con on their

 

0:42:13.160,0:42:17.720

property they can get that eye shine

 

0:42:15.400,0:42:19.359

like that and go make them a pile of

 

0:42:17.720,0:42:22.079

however many con they want to stay out

 

0:42:19.359,0:42:25.079

and kill them well you know I'm the I'm

 

0:42:22.079,0:42:27.200

a I'm a caller you know I'm a I I've

 

0:42:25.079,0:42:29.040

always considered myself a a ky caller

 

0:42:27.200,0:42:30.760

Predator caller so that's that's what

 

0:42:29.040,0:42:32.520

I'm want I'm want to see them come in

 

0:42:30.760,0:42:34.079

there and tackle that thing you know I'm

 

0:42:32.520,0:42:36.079

want to I'm want to have the back of my

 

0:42:34.079,0:42:38.000

mind where the closest place me go get

 

0:42:36.079,0:42:40.119

rabies shot you know that's how close I

 

0:42:38.000,0:42:44.440

want them that's what I want to

 

0:42:40.119,0:42:46.839

do oh you could if you know let's just

 

0:42:44.440,0:42:50.720

say we joined up and we're gonna do some

 

0:42:46.839,0:42:52.839

[ __ ] calling with the filming side of it

 

0:42:50.720,0:42:55.720

oh man there are some ideas and usually

 

0:42:52.839,0:42:58.040

I'm by myself so or even if I'm with

 

0:42:55.720,0:43:01.400

somebody it's don't necessarily have a

 

0:42:58.040,0:43:03.240

dead you know a lot of times are they're

 

0:43:01.400,0:43:04.520

usually the camera is not the first

 

0:43:03.240,0:43:06.800

thought for whoever you hunting with

 

0:43:04.520,0:43:09.480

they're just want to kill so but man we

 

0:43:06.800,0:43:11.640

could film some crazy stuff I mean it

 

0:43:09.480,0:43:14.800

would be if you were dedicated to that

 

0:43:11.640,0:43:17.160

side of it first and then killing the G

 

0:43:14.800,0:43:19.680

you could get some crazy I've got some

 

0:43:17.160,0:43:23.559

pretty crazy footage with this bow stuff

 

0:43:19.680,0:43:26.640

just filming myself it sounds like it

 

0:43:23.559,0:43:30.079

but you could don't don't temp me with a

 

0:43:26.640,0:43:31.960

good time you know I'll travel so I

 

0:43:30.079,0:43:34.319

don't think I won't do it over

 

0:43:31.960,0:43:36.440

raccoon we really should next summer

 

0:43:34.319,0:43:38.839

when it gets good we really should do

 

0:43:36.440,0:43:42.160

that just to just to get some of that

 

0:43:38.839,0:43:43.520

unique footage that would require

 

0:43:42.160,0:43:46.800

definitely

 

0:43:43.520,0:43:48.480

up but uh yeah but what I was saying

 

0:43:46.800,0:43:49.920

while ago on the night deal if if people

 

0:43:48.480,0:43:53.280

were doing that they might would want to

 

0:43:49.920,0:43:55.839

up you know to like some of

 

0:43:53.280,0:43:58.000

those stuff like that or some fours or

 

0:43:55.839,0:43:59.920

five that's going to be more ideal for

 

0:43:58.000,0:44:01.880

those you know shooting in the top of

 

0:43:59.920,0:44:03.440

Big Timber and making sure you get him

 

0:44:01.880,0:44:05.119

in one shot not have to shooting two or

 

0:44:03.440,0:44:08.599

three times right but if you're calling

 

0:44:05.119,0:44:11.559

them in tight them seven and a Hales and

 

0:44:08.599,0:44:13.960

larger is Gonna Roll him up right right

 

0:44:11.559,0:44:16.559

well have you ever uh you ain't never

 

0:44:13.960,0:44:18.280

exploded a call on accident have you one

 

0:44:16.559,0:44:20.599

get up on top of the call and you shoot

 

0:44:18.280,0:44:24.880

shotgun shoot the call and and raccoon

 

0:44:20.599,0:44:27.559

and all I I haven't yet but it's I could

 

0:44:24.880,0:44:29.400

see it have

 

0:44:27.559,0:44:31.200

know there have been times actually just

 

0:44:29.400,0:44:34.599

here recently with a couple of different

 

0:44:31.200,0:44:38.000

cows that came in where I had to

 

0:44:34.599,0:44:40.839

hesitate for a second before I shot

 

0:44:38.000,0:44:42.760

because yeah with that shotgun you know

 

0:44:40.839,0:44:45.480

thinking I was gonna shoot my call in

 

0:44:42.760,0:44:49.000

the process so but yeah you could easily

 

0:44:45.480,0:44:51.240

do it with the uh with the [ __ ] because

 

0:44:49.000,0:44:52.440

they're G to grab it most of the time if

 

0:44:51.240,0:44:54.520

you let them you know if you let them

 

0:44:52.440,0:44:56.119

get that close that's pretty awesome hey

 

0:44:54.520,0:44:58.559

I got another question for you and I I

 

0:44:56.119,0:45:00.559

already know the answer to this but what

 

0:44:58.559,0:45:02.520

if a Kyle comes charging in while you're

 

0:45:00.559,0:45:05.359

calling for RAC Coons what's Tory cook

 

0:45:02.520,0:45:08.839

done you know I'm I'm after that Coy

 

0:45:05.359,0:45:10.839

first that is you know we'll call him

 

0:45:08.839,0:45:14.280

back up or get him another day and and

 

0:45:10.839,0:45:16.960

you have that happen some yeah um I had

 

0:45:14.280,0:45:19.280

to I had to couple two different times

 

0:45:16.960,0:45:20.920

on the same afternoon on backtack stands

 

0:45:19.280,0:45:22.160

could have even been the same coat

 

0:45:20.920,0:45:23.960

because like I said I was only moving

 

0:45:22.160,0:45:27.200

about 300 yards I was hunting on the

 

0:45:23.960,0:45:29.319

river [ __ ] calling a [ __ ] comes running

 

0:45:27.200,0:45:31.599

in right off the bat jumps up on a Vine

 

0:45:29.319,0:45:33.240

I shoot that thing I keep calling no

 

0:45:31.599,0:45:35.480

sooner than I get another air not here

 

0:45:33.240,0:45:38.079

comes a coat from opposite direction

 

0:45:35.480,0:45:39.920

comes in there and I got Drew back on it

 

0:45:38.079,0:45:41.480

I got Drew on it but I did not get a

 

0:45:39.920,0:45:44.880

shot

 

0:45:41.480,0:45:46.599

a I think it was the co never smelled me

 

0:45:44.880,0:45:48.880

right there he just he got in pretty

 

0:45:46.599,0:45:50.559

tight about 15 yards from the call yeah

 

0:45:48.880,0:45:52.800

and ended up kind of Beering and going

 

0:45:50.559,0:45:55.200

back but he never got my wind well I

 

0:45:52.800,0:45:57.359

moved on down the river about 300 yards

 

0:45:55.200,0:45:59.960

or so and started calling and I had a

 

0:45:57.359,0:46:02.000

coat come running I mean he run right by

 

0:45:59.960,0:46:03.160

me from behind me I bet it was the same

 

0:46:02.000,0:46:06.040

coat

 

0:46:03.160,0:46:07.079

y course when he did he smell me but so

 

0:46:06.040,0:46:09.480

I didn't get a

 

0:46:07.079,0:46:12.079

shot that would be awesome to get a

 

0:46:09.480,0:46:14.640

raccoon Coy double with your

 

0:46:12.079,0:46:16.160

Longbow oh yeah and I did I ended up

 

0:46:14.640,0:46:18.359

killing one with my long bow but I

 

0:46:16.160,0:46:20.160

wasn't you know I was I was specifically

 

0:46:18.359,0:46:22.040

I was trying to kill a cat with that

 

0:46:20.160,0:46:25.520

long bow and right it took a few

 

0:46:22.040,0:46:28.079

attempts I finally got one and then I I

 

0:46:25.520,0:46:31.040

hung back up and went went back to the

 

0:46:28.079,0:46:33.920

shotgun these last few weeks but but you

 

0:46:31.040,0:46:36.200

know when we was talking about uh you

 

0:46:33.920,0:46:38.680

know shotgun gauge

 

0:46:36.200,0:46:41.480

size what shot to be shooting all that

 

0:46:38.680,0:46:43.359

type of stuff you know that kind of goes

 

0:46:41.480,0:46:45.359

with you know if there is a possibility

 

0:46:43.359,0:46:46.760

of calling coyotes you know coyotes in

 

0:46:45.359,0:46:49.359

at the same time you probably need to

 

0:46:46.760,0:46:51.000

make sure you're shooting enough gun

 

0:46:49.359,0:46:52.480

yeah if a coyot comes there if you're

 

0:46:51.000,0:46:55.359

wanting to get it that it that you're

 

0:46:52.480,0:46:57.000

driving it in the dirt as well yeah yeah

 

0:46:55.359,0:46:59.000

if you

 

0:46:57.000,0:47:02.599

for example when we're doing and we do

 

0:46:59.000,0:47:04.520

this a lot when we make a coow stand a

 

0:47:02.599,0:47:07.839

lot of times I will end with [ __ ]

 

0:47:04.520,0:47:11.559

distress but you you call in so many Cs

 

0:47:07.839,0:47:13.440

on [ __ ] sounds that even though I pretty

 

0:47:11.559,0:47:14.839

much ran my coow stand I don't think a

 

0:47:13.440,0:47:16.400

cow's gonna show up and we'll swap over

 

0:47:14.839,0:47:18.880

to [ __ ] just to try to get something on

 

0:47:16.400,0:47:21.800

the stand yeah but I'm keeping them you

 

0:47:18.880,0:47:25.800

know if it's if I think a Cy might show

 

0:47:21.800,0:47:28.400

up I'm gonna have those Apex twos two

 

0:47:25.800,0:47:31.400

fours or if I'm shooting lead I'm

 

0:47:28.400,0:47:35.319

goingon to have some number four Buck

 

0:47:31.400,0:47:38.200

or in there yep yeah y yeah have you

 

0:47:35.319,0:47:40.079

ever uh have you ever called in any

 

0:47:38.200,0:47:42.240

other Predators while calling for rat

 

0:47:40.079,0:47:44.200

con besides for RAC con and cow you ever

 

0:47:42.240,0:47:47.520

called up Bobcats or fox or anything

 

0:47:44.200,0:47:49.960

like that or bear or whatever yeah I've

 

0:47:47.520,0:47:51.680

called in gray fox a handful of times

 

0:47:49.960,0:47:53.680

that's what you know talking about that

 

0:47:51.680,0:47:56.280

earlier sometimes for whatever reason

 

0:47:53.680,0:47:57.599

their voice being similar I think

 

0:47:56.280,0:47:59.880

maybe they get confused because you'll

 

0:47:57.599,0:48:02.119

have [ __ ] show up on Gray Fox

 

0:47:59.880,0:48:05.319

occasionally and have gray fox show up

 

0:48:02.119,0:48:08.160

on [ __ ] so right uh and

 

0:48:05.319,0:48:10.480

then I've always said one of the one of

 

0:48:08.160,0:48:14.079

the top sounds as far as overlooked

 

0:48:10.480,0:48:15.880

sounds are [ __ ] distress not only for

 

0:48:14.079,0:48:18.079

not only [ __ ] distress but [ __ ] distress

 

0:48:15.880,0:48:21.680

and Grox maybe because they do sound

 

0:48:18.079,0:48:23.920

similar right but for Co and cats and I

 

0:48:21.680,0:48:25.040

think I've told you told you maybe in I

 

0:48:23.920,0:48:29.160

can't remember if we've talked about it

 

0:48:25.040,0:48:31.319

on podcast I think talking but one of

 

0:48:29.160,0:48:34.680

the best mornings I guess it was the

 

0:48:31.319,0:48:36.440

best morning that I've ever had on bcats

 

0:48:34.680,0:48:39.480

um in care one they were calling just

 

0:48:36.440,0:48:41.720

right here around my house and if I

 

0:48:39.480,0:48:43.680

ain't mistaken we called up six cats and

 

0:48:41.720,0:48:47.720

all but one of them on [ __ ] distress but

 

0:48:43.680,0:48:49.720

I've called a bunch of bobcats on [ __ ]

then Fox proos got an mfk young [ __ ]

 

0:49:57.520,0:50:04.040

distress for calling Coons I actually

 

0:50:01.040,0:50:06.880

like Fox proos mfk young [ __ ]

 

0:50:04.040,0:50:08.240

distress better than mfk young [ __ ]

 

0:50:06.880,0:50:11.240

distress when you're talking about those

 

0:50:08.240,0:50:14.680

same two titled sounds right but for the

 

0:50:11.240,0:50:17.160

for the cats and coats mfk young [ __ ]

 

0:50:14.680,0:50:19.240

distress is a really good [ __ ] sound for

 

0:50:17.160,0:50:21.280

calling those other Predators right for

 

0:50:19.240,0:50:25.240

whatever reason and it'll call Coons too

 

0:50:21.280,0:50:26.839

but you know it's definitely hey get

 

0:50:25.240,0:50:28.200

some pressured areas and you think you

 

0:50:26.839,0:50:30.920

need to try some kind of different

 

0:50:28.200,0:50:33.240

sounds you talking about coyotes or or

 

0:50:30.920,0:50:34.720

uh you know Bobcats or whatever he

 

0:50:33.240,0:50:37.079

sounds like don't be scared to play

 

0:50:34.720,0:50:38.079

raccoon sounds especially those younger

 

0:50:37.079,0:50:40.799

the year you know I think both of us

 

0:50:48.880,0:50:53.680

pretty much SA or rabbits and birds and

 

0:50:50.960,0:50:55.839

0:50:53.680,0:50:58.520

0:51:57.520,0:52:00.839

what I learned off this podcast and

 

0:51:59.119,0:52:03.000

trying to apply it in the field see if I

 

0:52:00.839,0:52:04.760

I've already got you know we just I've

 

0:52:06.280,0:52:09.359

got ideas in my head is like you said

 

0:52:07.880,0:52:13.480

0:52:09.359,0:52:15.839

stuff i' I've got some ideas so it's no

 

0:52:13.480,0:52:17.880

doubt and one other thing one really

 

0:52:15.839,0:52:20.760

really good tip especially for people

 

0:52:17.880,0:52:23.400

that are about to start doing it or

 

0:52:20.760,0:52:25.520

trying it for the first time and this

 

0:52:23.400,0:52:28.119

this still applies to me when I first

 

0:52:25.520,0:52:29.960

started going this summer the first

 

0:52:28.119,0:52:32.079

three or four trips that I made and they

 

0:52:29.960,0:52:33.839

were spaced out about a week or so apart

 

0:52:32.079,0:52:36.040

I knew it was getting about time that

 

0:52:33.839,0:52:38.160

they should start calling but those

 

0:52:36.040,0:52:39.760

first three or four trips that I made I

 

0:52:38.160,0:52:41.559

I think the first time I went I called a

 

0:52:39.760,0:52:43.680

[ __ ] on the very first stand and I said

 

0:52:41.559,0:52:45.400

man this is just to be good I'm timing

 

0:52:43.680,0:52:47.839

it just right well I didn't call another

 

0:52:45.400,0:52:49.880

[ __ ] the rest of the day and I made six

 

0:52:47.839,0:52:52.119

of8 stands before I decided Well they

 

0:52:49.880,0:52:54.160

ain't calling yet so I waited a few days

 

0:52:52.119,0:52:56.160

about a week probably and I went and hit

 

0:52:54.160,0:52:59.079

them again in a different spot I didn't

 

0:52:56.160,0:53:01.280

call a [ __ ] nothing I waited about a

 

0:52:59.079,0:53:04.280

week and I think I called one [ __ ] on

 

0:53:01.280,0:53:07.599

the third stand that day only [ __ ] I

 

0:53:04.280,0:53:09.319

called the fourth go around still no

 

0:53:07.599,0:53:10.760

good I don't think I called a [ __ ] but

 

0:53:09.319,0:53:14.119

and I waited about a week so there's

 

0:53:10.760,0:53:17.000

about a month time frame there and the

 

0:53:14.119,0:53:19.240

next time I went I hammered them and

 

0:53:17.000,0:53:21.319

from that point on it stayed pretty

 

0:53:19.240,0:53:25.040

steady all the way up to now I went just

 

0:53:21.319,0:53:28.040

the other day and wore them out so then

 

0:53:25.040,0:53:29.680

that happens throughout the year once

 

0:53:28.040,0:53:32.440

it's just like the coow deal you get

 

0:53:29.680,0:53:34.559

into that family bust up time frame you

 

0:53:32.440,0:53:36.640

know things will taper off there for a

 

0:53:34.559,0:53:39.559

period usually you'll get I've had good

 

0:53:36.640,0:53:42.000

really good [ __ ] calling through till

 

0:53:39.559,0:53:44.520

around I remember one because it was

 

0:53:42.000,0:53:46.079

Halloween had a really good day [ __ ]

 

0:53:44.520,0:53:48.240

calling on Halloween so I think you

 

0:53:46.079,0:53:51.079

still got you know a time frame right

 

0:53:48.240,0:53:53.599

there but the point is if you go and you

 

0:53:51.079,0:53:56.480

don't have any luck just give them a few

 

0:53:53.599,0:53:58.359

days a week or don't give up on them

 

0:53:56.480,0:54:01.240

don't think it's because what you were

 

0:53:58.359,0:54:03.480

doing doesn't work they just weren't

 

0:54:01.240,0:54:05.680

calling that day or they're not you know

 

0:54:03.480,0:54:07.839

fired up or whatever you wait and come

 

0:54:05.680,0:54:09.760

hit them again make five or six stands

 

0:54:07.839,0:54:12.440

and I guarantee you if you keep checking

 

0:54:09.760,0:54:15.720

them you'll you'll hit on them and wear

 

0:54:12.440,0:54:20.520

them out it's and once you do that a

 

0:54:15.720,0:54:23.799

little bit it's you know you'll find

 

0:54:20.520,0:54:26.680

those times where it's hot and you can

 

0:54:23.799,0:54:28.359

go for day after day day after day and

 

0:54:26.680,0:54:29.960

kill as many co until you just get tired

 

0:54:28.359,0:54:32.440

of killing them love it till you run out

 

0:54:29.960,0:54:36.240

of shells run out of

 

0:54:32.440,0:54:37.720

arrows yeah but I've had people get real

 

0:54:36.240,0:54:39.559

real discouraged with it because they'll

 

0:54:37.720,0:54:42.799

watch a video and I may have filmed that

 

0:54:39.559,0:54:45.599

hunt you know last month and they're not

 

0:54:42.799,0:54:47.559

watching that hunt until maybe November

 

0:54:45.599,0:54:49.400

right and they go TR and they're in a

 

0:54:47.559,0:54:50.720

different state in a different area and

 

0:54:49.400,0:54:52.319

they go out and they try and they don't

 

0:54:50.720,0:54:54.200

have any luck they'll send me a message

 

0:54:52.319,0:54:56.000

they like man what am I doing wrong and

 

0:54:54.200,0:54:57.799

they'll tell me and they're not doing

 

0:54:56.000,0:55:00.720

anything wrong the coons just weren't

 

0:54:57.799,0:55:03.920

calling right then and just wait try it

 

0:55:00.720,0:55:05.799

again a different day and sometimes you

 

0:55:03.920,0:55:07.880

need to wait you know like I said I went

 

0:55:05.799,0:55:10.119

for a month there hitting them about

 

0:55:07.880,0:55:12.119

every week and I only called in two

 

0:55:10.119,0:55:13.720

Coons during that time frame right and

 

0:55:12.119,0:55:15.200

then all of a sudden it's light switch

 

0:55:13.720,0:55:17.760

and they're calling and I think what the

 

0:55:15.200,0:55:19.760

deal was is most of the I was just a

 

0:55:17.760,0:55:21.680

little bit early most of those Co

 

0:55:19.760,0:55:24.039

because like I said that this time of

 

0:55:21.680,0:55:27.240

the year you're calling well earlier

 

0:55:24.039,0:55:28.559

summer you're calling most salons byel

 

0:55:27.240,0:55:29.839

this time of the year you start calling

 

0:55:28.559,0:55:31.640

some of those family groups because

 

0:55:29.839,0:55:34.119

those kittens are a little bit bigger

 

0:55:31.640,0:55:35.720

right but just like with gos when

 

0:55:34.119,0:55:37.480

they've got pups in the ground in the

 

0:55:35.720,0:55:38.760

hole they can be pretty hard to call

 

0:55:37.480,0:55:40.559

especially if you're not right you're on

 

0:55:38.760,0:55:42.880

top of them right while those pups you

 

0:55:40.559,0:55:45.039

still a little same thing with the coons

 

0:55:42.880,0:55:47.319

and I'm I know that's what I was running

 

0:55:45.039,0:55:49.440

into those [ __ ] kittens were still in

 

0:55:47.319,0:55:52.200

the tree still in the den they're not

 

0:55:49.440,0:55:54.160

active yet at Salon which is about the

 

0:55:52.200,0:55:55.920

only thing you're calling that time of

 

0:55:54.160,0:55:57.720

the year this time the year here they're

 

0:55:55.920,0:55:59.280

staying right there with them I wasn't

 

0:55:57.720,0:56:01.359

close enough that's why I didn't call

 

0:55:59.280,0:56:03.559

them any Coons the two that I did call

 

0:56:01.359,0:56:05.839

up they were there soon as I turned the

 

0:56:03.559,0:56:09.119

call on I just right on top of them

 

0:56:05.839,0:56:11.760

right on top of them and then you know

 

0:56:09.119,0:56:13.720

you give it a month's time frame I

 

0:56:11.760,0:56:15.160

started you know a little bit more age

 

0:56:13.720,0:56:17.880

on those kittens they're getting out of

 

0:56:15.160,0:56:19.520

the hole and all of a sudden light

 

0:56:17.880,0:56:21.160

switch here they come you know I start

 

0:56:19.520,0:56:24.039

cutting then it just progressed from

 

0:56:21.160,0:56:25.920

there to where you know anybody that's

 

0:56:24.039,0:56:28.000

seen any of the pict of the videos that

 

0:56:25.920,0:56:30.480

I posted on Facebook and stuff like that

 

0:56:28.000,0:56:33.240

I mean they have a dozen Coons that I

 

0:56:30.480,0:56:34.559

kill in two three hours right a long you

 

0:56:33.240,0:56:37.039

know

 

0:56:34.559,0:56:38.960

shoot that just goes to show you how

 

0:56:37.039,0:56:40.440

many you know what the possibilities are

 

0:56:38.960,0:56:42.200

because if I call in three or four Coons

 

0:56:40.440,0:56:45.359

I mainly get one or two of them if I'm

 

0:56:42.200,0:56:48.240

lucky with that bow right right shotgun

 

0:56:45.359,0:56:51.520

you want to make a pile make sure you to

 

0:56:48.240,0:56:53.440

plenty of sh I love I can't wait to try
