[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 3086566, member: 91783"] I got called one evening the rancher told me his brother and him had called and shot a wet female that morning and wanted to know if I would come out and locate the den and pups for them. That's the kind of stuff you get asked about when you get known as a problem solver, I told him that I would be out in a couple of days and asked him not to mess with them or the male till I could get there. I finished with the den that I was going to before he called. And met him, we went out to where they had gotten the female, I got set up on a high ridge overlooking some badlands that ran to another ridge and a canyon. I started with locator howls and barks, waited a couple of minutes and did them again. The old male answered then the pups chimed in they were all the way across the badlands in some rough draws leading up to the other ridgeline. I got to glassing and located the adult, so I talked to him some more and watched him start toward us. I shot him at around 100 yards out gathered him up and headed toward where the pups had answered. After getting to the bottom of the draw I started walking it after a quarter hour I found puppy scat and tracks up on the rim was a couple of well-worn holes where the pups were coming and going in and out of them. Being the first part of June they were about 10 inches at the front shoulders. I got my wire set up ran it out drove my stakes to keep it from tangling as I cranked it into the hole and started fishing for pups, pretty soon the wire got hard to turn so I pulled it out with a pup tangled up in the barbs, as I was taking it out of the wire one ran out of the hole I grabbed at it missed my aim and it turned when I grabbed it by the ribs bit my thumb clamped down on me and one of his little canine teeth went through my thumb nail. I was saying to the rancher grab it and get it off my hand, he looked at me eyes wide and said oh he09 no I don't want bit like you are, I let loose of the one in the wire and grabbed the one on my thumb by the nap of its neck and got it off of me pulled it off of me and finished its young career, then went back to the one tangled up in my wire. I fished six pups total out of the hole including the one that bit me. A couple of weeks later we had a good laugh about it the rancher said you should have seen the look on your face, and I said to him you should have seen the look on your face.
