I love hunting coyotes, but i haven't found ice yet either. I remember one time my dad and I were going out on a lake where we found a SLAMMIN' crappie spot. we saw a couple guys coming from another launch heading to the same spot. both of us kept speeding up almost to a jog, then my dad took out the coyote howler and the other guys stopped and said " what the f*** was that. hehe we beat them to the spot. we didn't mind sharing it, it was just funny.
