I just got away from a man who hurt me for 25 years les has a life I'd love les gives me the strength to keep trying even in this heatless falling appart camper. Thank you
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I need them as I am way to impatient. I am far from giving up I'm very new to this and I really appreciate you sharing your many years of dedication, hard work and experience with us. Looking forward to learning more from you.
Thanks, Les! I used be 12-15 minutes max on a stand. I stay much longer now...and realize that there were lots of coyotes that I had been leaving behind. Good to see you here.
Welcome Back Les !!! started calling in 1971 so have been at it for a bit. Last Sept. we made our normal stands some time as many as 16 dogs in two days . have one set up 8 in a row.with the same setup. This year we did not see one dog with perfect conditions. on the same stands. at least 85% of my kills are with a shot gun, we hunt high sage remember its called hunting!
hey Les good to hear from you. Im 65 , can't go like i use to but this is my best year yet, Im out there when i can and I still learn all the time, It,s fun and good exercise for me." got to keep going" God bless everyone
Welcome back Les, and thanks for the reinforcement on the need for patience - it's definitely not as easy as people think after watching a UA-cam video that's been edited to show the most exciting thirty seconds of a full day's effort!
AMEN ! Les, just tell it how it is. Too many people try to sugar coat things. Met you a few years ago in AZ at one of the World Hunts. Keep up the great posts !
Good stuff Les. Btw, the warm snap in Montana is over. Winter showed up with a vengeance in February. I've got a couple of feet of snow on my lawn and it's been below zero more than it's been above zero since February started. Really messing my fishing plans.
About dang time you returned!!! Last one I saw with you ... you were in tractor explaining how UA-cam wasn’t paying ...Hopefully see you produce more soon!!!
Winter's been vicious here in Missouri with lots of days of super cold, snowy days, and the freezing rain days. Glad to see you back on UA-cam!!! Sportsman's Channel, and Outdoor Channel, and Pursuit Channel are all carrying predator shows...but those guys are using electronic calling devices... few if ANY are using hand-held calls. I wish you were back on there using your calls!
As usual great information I see the same mistakes being made during deer season, sit in the stand for ten minutes then start walking around. You must have confidence in yourself, & your knowledge of what you're hunting.
Hey Les, Thanks for the tips. It was also a pleasure to meet you at the recent Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pa.. Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors. Be safe, Leon
I was out calling Saturday morning. I'm training my puppy to decoy coyotes. I was on stand for about 20 minutes when my pup barked at something behind me. 3 coyotes came in the back door and busted me. Just like Les said, learn from mistakes. I needed someone to watch the downwind side of the hill. Thanks, Les
Morning les, you been an inspiration, in my pursuit of the coyote ,. After 4years of hunting coyotes ,I come to respect gods animals. For the animal has made me a better person n hunter,from N central N.M Acoma Pueblo.
Thanks for the tough love Les! haha. I give up after 5 min so I'll work on being more patient. I know coyotes are in my hunting areas because 1) I've seen them and 2) I see them on the trail cam I put up to see what's in the neighborhood.
Again took advantage of your merchandise you offer on your Web Site PREDATOR QUEST. The pull over is nice, & warm, & your calls are user friendly, & sound so real. And the lady I dealt with was so nice, & helpful.
This video has prevented me from throwing in the towel so far. I've gone to about 60-70 stands and have yet to bag a coyote. I live in Western Washington where coyote hunting is much more difficult. They have so much cover and thick brush to stay safely hidden in, it is difficult to find an open area let alone call these coyote out into an open area. It is seemingly impossible.
Hey there buddy I'm brand new to coyote calling and specifically hunting them...I love your videos and they are helping me alot...keep up the good work and if anyone has any tips ..I'm from northern Minnesota and made a few stands so far no luck but I do see coyotes..thanks guys and good luck hunting out there
I live in Washington state where coyote hunting is very good not a lot of pressure. born and raised in North Dakota I go back every year in December 1 and bow hunt for whitetails and hunt coyotes everyday for the entire month this year was a lot of 30 degree 40 degree temperatures during the day the coyotes were only active at night time hunting wheat stubble with cat tail sloughs an bedding on the cattail sloughs where the pheasants where soon as it got light not pastures an hills ect. do. I stop using distress calls and I just used your calls less and howled what I found was the cayots weren't that hungry but they didn't like a strange coyote in their territory and they came running and running hard which made me think of January when they were starting to pair up and breed like bugling for a bull elk I decided to not use a distress call but a howl which to my surprise brought in a lot of doubles and more singles. I imagine the singles we're looking for a mate just something to think about. I always give it a half hour at least. Bye the way your clothing for sale is good quality stuff thanks.
great video less great to see good ol' Nebraska boys doing well on youtube and coyote hunting. just getting into to coyote hunting this year and I've already learned so much from you and just being out in the field. live in south Dakota now for college hope to see you up north coyote hunting.
hey Les good to see you again its just my opinion but i think one reason coyote hunting is getting tougher is people buying these electronic callers and dont know how to use them a few years back i was out in the dessert deer hunting sitting on the side of a butte and a subburbon pulls up below me two guys got out walked out into the sage brush sat down and proceeded to play every sound the caller had in it if there was any coyotes around i can only imagine how confused they must have been i think that is making it harder for all of us anyhow thanks for the video see you on the next one
Thanks for the tips les got cold here in Montana now, -15 and thereabouts called in some dogs got some dry stands it's the name of the game great vid as always!
Well, Doggies! It's been a fur piece since we saw ya last, Les. Have ya been ok, health wise? Enjoyed your vid this morning. It's always good to get to see the one who really got me into the mindset of getting out, learning and making a stand - one that's memorable from success of all involved. There's always that stand when everything is in your favor, and ya call and next thing ya know, your getting hiway'd. They're coming in 3, 4, 5 at a time, not worryin bout windin; they are focused and in stealth shark attack mode headed on a bee-line for that rabbit that's crying. Ok, well... I've almost crossed into the Word Fit Zone. That's what Woodrow F Call said Augustus McCrae would have, in his explaining. It was mandatory viewing for my kids when they hit 4th grade to watch Lonesome Dove. Then one eve Dad was explaining something when outta the blue, one of the girls bellard out, "Mom!! Dad's Havin A Word Fit!!". Then sure enuff, here comes their Mother in rescue em from a heart felt learnin experience from their lovin Dad. 😉😎 Well then. I'm really done this time. Thank you for imparting your own experiences and results of a few of the many years worth of Gettin To Callin. Y'all take care and be good to each other. And above all, handle your firearms as if your Wife & Kids lives depended on it, which we all know, it does!
Les, new to your channel and really enjoying your videos. I have two questions. First, if you had to only use one type of call: a diaphragm, ecaller or hand call for the rest of your life, which would you pick and why. Two, I've heard many guys, mostly younger, claim their numbers have gone up by either adding a diaphragm to their calling sequence or switching to a diaphragm all together. I know you sell diaphragm calls so I'm not asking you to bash them, but as someone who right now pretty much uses an ecaller exclusively I am looking into diaphragms (your's in particular after I found your recent video on howling) and adding a hand call. My wife asked me why? If ecallers are so realistic, why spend the money on the other two? I was hoping you could help with answering that since I have almost zero experience and I've enjoyed your common sense answers. If you've already done a video on this maybe you could guide me to that video? Thanks and enjoying your videos!
Montana boy here as well, yes it has been bitter cold all February with lots of snow. Glad to see you back, was a little concerned you may have forgotten about us, lol. J/K Now I just need to find some land owners around our area that are willing to let us hunt. Ignorant people keep ruining all the good spots by not respecting the landowners. Any how, looking forward to more of your knowledge.
Particapated in an evemt in december and call3d i abunch of em but didnt ever get the shot off. Becaise of gloves and other difficulties and when we worked out the kinks and couldnt call no more
Will be starting out coyote hunting this year with a friend up in nw Illinois. Any tips for calling setup. Would a pop-up blind help or hurt us heard both ways. Thanks happy hunting
Les your back and this is weird The other day I finally got 2 to come in and one was a big red I believe a coywolf and hit the gray with 4buck Dying rabbit 20 min then female invitation for 20again and the KIYI at end and I believe both males looking for love...FEB rut is on and swamp was froze over which gave them highway from the mountain den This was 3pmEST and these are impossible northeast coyotes!!!!!
Les,love your talks! Question....Have you ever just pulled out of a setup area just because it does not feel right? I never just want to go in and end up just educating the coyotes.
Glad to see you back! I am learning this very lesson right now in a new area. Your knowledge confirms what I'm thinking. Thanks Les. How do I get one of your coffee cups?
Hi Les, back again eh?You're looking a bit woolly 2 bro, not like coyotes lol . Looking forward to some new videos this season... I make lots of mistakes and still learning little, my fault though eh? cheers bud
Les, let's get to calling in northern Az, it's pretty tuff, alot of ppl call here, yotes show up but their 300 + yards fr us, we got Foxpro, any suggestion
I started bout 7 years ago, shot my first coyote very first ever stand in my life. 38 min. I averaged 50-60 min stands and I killed more coyotes than all my last 6 years that year. Went to a comp, guys telling me don’t go past 20 min. So I started doing 30 min. For 3 years I don’t shoot half the amount as first year, been doing hr stands ever since, destroying it. Other day I shot a coyote at 1hr and 30 min! Missed one at 30 min. Turned off call cuz shot 5 times. 20 min later eating a sandwich, I see 2 yotes 700 out. Turned call on, yotes never looked but creeped my way, 45 min later, i shot one at 12 steps, if had shotgun both was dead! Patience baby
I just got away from a man who hurt me for 25 years les has a life I'd love les gives me the strength to keep trying even in this heatless falling appart camper. Thank you
Slime Time....Just Imagine that Man with EARS and a Tail...
Good points, a person who quits, never wins. Live and learn, then learn to live.

Thanks for this
Thanks for the info les! Great to see a new vid!

New to the channel here.
Anyone know what bipod Mr Johnson uses?
How far do you get from previous stand
Good to see ya again, been too long!!
Well hello stranger! Good to see ya sir!
Welcome back celebrity hunter! 😉
Glad to see you back! I am learning this very lesson right now in a new area. Your knowledge confirms what I'm thinking.
Thanks Les. How do I get one of your coffee cups?
Detours...Go to GOODWILL.
Welcome back to UA-cam. Where abouts in South Dakota? How many days how many coyotes?
Can you keep doing the videos drinking coffee and telling stories about coyotes and raccoons those are the best
as a beginner beginner,I carry a small squirt bottle of coyote urine..squirt tree behind me..they come in very close sniffing,
I got a pack of 7 on our lease. I’m working on them. By the way, #8 died of Lead Overdose. 🥴🥴
Beautiful. Les is MORE. 💥🔫💨
Did you make that intro in the bathroom? That’s what it looks like😂😂your a great man les keep it up!!
When I am sick... I can't go 100% ...
good advise les. newer indiana caller here and really struggling
What part of the state are you located in? I live in NW IN, & wow is it ever hard to find a place to hunt for them. Don't give up!!!
@@paulharwood1281 se indiana. franklin co. i pretty much just have public land
What are you hunting them with? I have a couple of game reserves but you can't use a 223 rifle there, I guess I could use a 22 mag.@@darinfry1543
that would be awesome paul. i do have a 223 but also have a 17 wsm or a regular ol 12 guage with 4 buck i use sometimes
been hunting yotes all last week with no luck.. today i go for a drive and see 2
Hi Les, back again eh?You're looking a bit woolly 2 bro, not like coyotes lol . Looking forward to some new videos this season... I make lots of mistakes and still learning little, my fault though eh? cheers bud

I was worried about you brother. Glad to see you! Bagged 2 yotes so far in 2019 here in Ky.
I have killed 75 minutes in. Educated coyotes will come check where it herd a coyote. But if they have been hunted they take there time.
I'm not kathy my wife been using my machine H Lynn Heckart
so what ur saying is coyote callers are loosers 😆 🤣
just kidding
