[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 3092594, member: 91783"] I got called one evening to see when I could meet the rancher and his sons to locate for the helicopter for them. I set up to meet them in two days and was going to be with the dad and the two sons were going to be in another location. The pilot contacted me when he was up and nearing our location. I ran my siren and had nearly instantons replies from two groups. The boys wanted the helicopter first, so I sent it to them. It hunted for the coyotes for some time but didn't get on them so started my way. I told him where the closet ones had been down in some deep draws, he flew in the area and about three hundred yards out got on the pair. They dropped the first one then got on the second one and got it about 50 yards from us. The rancher was going I've never had a coyote shot from the helicopter that close to me I wouldn't want them after me. I put them on the second coyote group, and they got the pair and saw the den. So, I headed to it and left the rancher to go to where his sons were. I got to the den and took 6 pups out of it then called the rancher and told him I would go to where the sons had heard the coyotes and see what I could come up with. I was going up a cow trail near the location when a coyote jumped out from under a big sage brush and ran stopped to look at me and got shot. I dropped into a big draw and was walking up it toward a spring when I spotted a nice hole with a lot of puppy tracks and scat close to it in the bottom of the draw facing south. I plugged the hole with my jacket went and got my truck and tools. I set up and started working on the hole the female was in the hole along with five pups. Here where I am most of the dens that I have taken both red fox and coyote have been situated to face south, even the ones in a small hill side, in a draw or cut bank and even the ones in rock piles. I'm not sure about the rest of the country, but I figure that it might have to do with our altitude and cooler weather, as we can still have some pretty deep snows here for a couple of more weeks.
