I do most of my predator hunting here in Southern Indiana but I've been lucky enough to make some trips up north this winter to run some around. The territory up there is much more managable for a predator caller... the big open spaces make it much easier. The animals are just as smart, same animal all together, but the lack of cover and predictability of their travel often makes them easier to kill.
The last time I made it up there was Christmas weekend, when we had the massive snows in the south and frigid temperatures across the state. Now this weekend they are calling for similar weather, snow south and cold up north, and I'm heading there again! The weather should be more managable this time around, last time we started out at negative 12° and maxed out the day with a high of 7° so it HAS to be warmer than that.
Here are some photos of my last trip up there, I looked like a tourist taking pictures of the wide open scenery... you have to climb a water tower to see that far around here!
Sunrise;
Trying a few hounds;
Spotted a couple coyotes out on this frozen river;
I'll get some more this weekend.... hopefully I'll have some pictures of kills as well. The scouting reports sound pretty good for the area I am huntin, 4 different coyotes spotted this week alone! :bouncy:
