| National Coyote Calling Championship: The Best 2nd Place Finish of All Time |
| 2019-03-05 |
| [Hunt365] As we loaded up the truck in preparation for the 45-minute drive to our hunting location, Wade and I were still reliving the unbelievable action we’d experienced the first day of the contest. 18 coyotes in a day was a personal best for each of us and we knew we’d put ourselves in a great position to win the National Coyote Calling Championship. But as experience had taught us, 2-day contests are generally won on the second day. We would need another exceptional effort with a touch of luck in order to finish strong and bring home the national champion buckles. During the short drive, we finalized a few remaining details for the day ahead of us. We verified the projected wind direction and then laid out an efficient route getting from stand to stand. We estimated only having time for 12 stands based off of the check-in deadline of 6 pm, the 3-hour drive back to Rawlins and the scattered stand locations we had mapped out. Building a plan and executing it on a timeline is essential for successful contest hunting. Every second counts and wasting time throughout the day deciding on where to go next will ultimately cost you several coyotes in the long run. |

| #6 I like #5 but could we substitute socialists for jihadis? |

| #5 Could we do this with jihadis? Maybe make it an Olympic sport like the biathalon which appears to have evolved from the Finnish custom of shooting at Russians while on skis. |

| #4 But what do they do with all the refugees? Or the Acme cartons, anvils and bird-seed signs? |

| #1 I'd be more impressed if they were as successful calling cats. |
