I went for a walk today to look for some bunnies and try calling a coyote.
the bunny pop has been dropping steady for the last two years. the predator pop has been climbing. I did see some good rabbit runs but I believe that there were just a few around and the same ones are using the trails over and over making the sign deceiving. I set up a few times and hit the call with no response, not much surprise there as there must have been some function being held at the local gun range half mile away, it sounded like a war. I cut a few sets of predator tracks as I always do in this area. most of which were old and melted in. the weather has been above freezing for the last 4 days making tracks turn to dimples. then I came on to this set. they were fresh enough to get me pumped. sign trivia time
I followed them for a good ways into the wind, he and im sure its a he paralleled the creek until he came to a ice crossing and then carried on up the creek on the opposite side. due to all the warm weather we have had the creek is quite dangerous. a bit further up I came on this sign. it was right on the edge of the creek with a heavy trail leading to the creek. the dark stuff is poop. trivia #2
in my past trapping experience I know that once the creek freezes the animals use it like a highway. I brushed in a nice spot in the middle of a 180 bend in the creek in range of the poop spot. I will be back
