deep snow but we get 6 more

this last weekend was fun, they seem to be running in pairs good. only complaint would have to be the snow is almost too deep for the dogs to hunt. They did fine when we got them on a good track and they were running a coyote. Trying to get them to hunt in the sloughs was tough. drifts around the sloughs are powerd and up to our waists. Sorry, no pictures from the weekend
1. no coyotes were spotted Saturday morning so we dropped our cold nosed bandit and toby on a good track. they took it into an abandoned building site, out of that and into a slough just south of it. Jumped a coyote hot and bayed it up in a culvert.
2. when the first coyote went into the culvert, a second one split from that ravine and went back north east into the originial building sight. i had our reliable molly with me and i walked her to the track. she took it into the building site where sugar and trigger got dumped and they got in the chase. dogs took that one the same path the other coyote went but it changed direction when it ran into a couple guys and dogs. they took it onto a lake where they caught and killed that one.
3. we had 5 sets of tracks going into another section so we dumped cold nosed bandit, kona, and sugar in. they took it a half mile in and hit a coon. we got the coon and got them back on the cold track. bandit was the only dog that would take it, being that it was 4 hours old. he took it back across the road we dumped them on. it took him a while to catch up but he hit it hot and he had it walking bayed a few different times. it was a long ways in and no one could walk in to help him out. we are not sure what ever happened to this coyote. but while this was happening another one was seen and we got dogs on that one and killed it quick.
4. while they were dragging that one out, a coyote came out of a chunk of woods and they shot that one too. easy one!
5. Sunday we had one spotted in a section next to the interstate. we didnt want any dogs in there so we tried pushing the coyote into a different section with walkers. We followed the tracks of the one spotted to a culvert and got him easily.
6. there were 2 sets and one kept going so we followed them into a patch of woods and jumped him. he went into a slough just south of the woods and held up. we had 5 or 6 people in there and he wouldnt jump and shot him from close range in the brush.
