Scouting for Fish

[BarryBobPosthole]

Larke took me to look at a couple millponds we're going to fish tomorrow. One is a place called Tally Ho that is a high fenced area that is used by folks to train their fox horses and hounds. They train them on coyotes they've put there. They have feeders for them and have stuff they've put in for dens. Damndest thing I've ever seen. Here's two videos.

There is a 30 acre millpond on that place and me and a couple of buddies have had it leased for 20 years. Before they turned coyotes in there it was foxes. That whole 300 acres is high fenced and elelctrfied.
There is some awesome fishing in that millpond.

So what keeps those coyotes and foxes from digging under the fence even if it's electrified above ground?

[Captain]

The wove wire fence comes down to the ground and then lays on the ground about 4 foot towards the inside and a separate electric wire about 6 inches above the wove wire. It must work that place is full of coyotes....

That's a big thing up here as well. The doggers use to train their hounds and keep them in shape during the off season. I think they even have competitions and what not. There's also a black market in live trapped coyotes to supply them and the fish cops hate that crap.

Last year we had a black coyote being a frequent visitor to our gut pile. The club president son had a cam and was trying to hunt it on the scrap but I never heard he shooting it.
