[@robertmitchell9415]

How is your dog bred? How do you train them? Thanks in advance for any reply

[@Predatory_Instincts_Hunting]

@@robertmitchell9415 Tate is a Ladner black mouth cur. The black mouth cur is a NKC registered breed, and the Ladner bloodline is an extremely exceptional bloodline for these dogs. I actually found him online and contacted a breeder and did a little bit of homework before buying himas a pup. Training was a pretty lengthy process, but it could be broken down very simply. It started with tone training and progressed from there.

[@robertmitchell9415]

@Predatory_Instincts_Hunting Thanks for the info, I'll Google it to find out more 👍

Man I was thinking it was some kind of pit, but my wife and I have a black mouth cur.

What caliber and bullets you shooting?

[@Predatory_Instincts_Hunting]

@@k9killa820 I have been shooting a 6mm Creedmoor for the past 3 or so years and have really grown to be very proficient with it out to 400 yards. I shoot quite often which helps keep confidence in my ability pretty high. I’m a big fan of heavy bullets. Up until this winter I was shooting Hornady 108 grain ELD Match ammo. I switched to a new line Hornady released called V Match. It uses a 80 grain ELDVT bullet. It is the same length as the 108 bullet but the lead core is smaller and it has a void behind the polymer tip that gives it better penetration than the match bullet but keeps the same accuracy.

@@Predatory_Instincts_Huntingare coyote populations getting crazy? I was camping on the Current a couple or months back, and it was nuts how many coyotes I heard all through the night. I live in St. Louis county and there are packs of them roaming the neighborhoods.

[@Predatory_Instincts_Hunting]

@@TheBryanBobby I haven’t noticed any big boom in population in my area but they’re numbers are regulated out here buy guys like me that hunt. I have heard from guys far more educated than myself in the coyote hunting world that you can kill 75% of the population in an area and still have a population increase. However it has been proven that their numbers will vary depending on availability to resources. For example St. Louis county is mainly urban and the food resources are abundant. From garbage to wildlife and even pets there are lots of food options. A coyote is the master of adapting to its environment. With next to zero natural predators especially in the Midwest it is easy for an urban population to grow.

[@bozzskaggs112]

I read in predator hunting mag a writer tell how he called the 'dogs while wearing a full Santa costume. Then there was a friend of mine who had to leave his deer stand at noon meeting his hunting partner at the truck. My friend was the first one there and out of curiosity he stood on a stump and played "Rocky Top" on a fawn bleat call. He had a juvie coyote almost join him on the stump. He named that songdog Saban as it found the cover of the tree line. Does your cur ever hook a single coyote hard or does he just keep moving?

[@Predatory_Instincts_Hunting]

@@bozzskaggs112 oh ya! Every year for the last 3-4 I will hunt Christmas Eve day wearing a Santa hat. I have pictures of it on my Facebook page. I’m not sure I 100% understand the question but will try to answer it the best I can. Most of the time the interaction depends on the coyote. Not all coyotes are aggressive and it takes the right one to “work” the dog. I have called in triples before that run for the hills and never come back. I have also called in singles that won’t run period and square up to fight. Tate himself isn’t very aggressive. He just wants to chase them. He will square off if he has to tho.

I'll never understand why the coyotes come out into the open after they know a dog and even a human are there. ? And the dog even chases them. ? When they see me and my bird dog they just run away.

[@Predatory_Instincts_Hunting]

@@paliacho9 I’m no expert but my rationalization is that it has a lot to do with the sounds I’m playing on the call. This time of year Cayo pups are big enough that they can start getting themselves into trouble. I’m playing coyote pup distress once I know I have them close. I think their paternal instincts take over and they can’t help but come in to check if their pups are in danger.
