Just got home and had to post a note. As always, John Graham and his family and crew pulled off an amazing event. Again. The number of moving parts with Coyote Days exceeds what most state conventions attempt, so for one family and crew to carry it out with military precision is astounding. Great facilities, a top notch steak dinner, all-you-can-eat fish fry, round table discussions with experts, raffles, door prizes, gun give aways, etc. Coyote Days really does have it all.
The demos were awe inspiring. Where else can you listen to and have access to real living professions . . . even legends?
Keith Gregerson. The first demo I EVER SAW was Keith doing a demo in Morgan, Utah in 1982. He's still sharp and still has that fire in the belly. Amazing new ideas and techniques that I'm sure will once again set the snaring world on its head.


And our own Boone Laine. He truly understands coyotes and coyote behavior.



John Barnum aka Bfflobo. Last year his demo helped me significantly increase my cat catch so I was anxious to come back and hear more. I was NOT disappointed.





I didn't get pictures of anyone else but go back a couple of pages and look at the lineup. Every one of them, whether you've heard of them or not, gave outstanding information. Some of them do things completely different than I do, and yet I learned from all of them.

Vendor building:



Thanks again to John Graham and crew. If you haven't been to Coyote Days, you owe it to yourself.

Thanks for the pics Tracy. Guess you was the only one taking them. I am guilty, never took one pic, was a busy time. Good times though. Good to meet up with you again and many others.

I've got pics but they're too big to post. New phone takes sharper pics I guess. Let me try this.....



OK, have to use postimage but it's a bloody pain. Email to my computer, save to desktop, upload to postimage, copy/paste.....screw that crap.

Select an image on your phone


Select edit image - (a pencil icon, on androids)


Somewhere by the save button should be 3 vertical dots


Click dots

Click resize


Try 60% or 40%


Try the upload system here again.

You can also crop images in the editing app to reduce digital overload.

Iphone 16. Can't see anything about adjusting size clicking the 3 dots. Cropping sometimes is enough, but sometimes not worth posting after it's cropped to the right size.

Can you take a screen shot of your editing page when you open the app?

Im no help this far away.


One of those buttons, or swipes will do it.


The nerd that engineered it thought he was making it obvious. You just gotta figure out what that nerd was thinking.

But Marty, look how much the rest of us are learning. :-)

Looks like Marty needs to hold phone day on Thursday!

I think I’ve tried this before, cropping was the only way without a 3rd party editing app…..friggin BS.
Here’s a beautiful panorama I took of John during his opening remarks……cropped to fit the size limit……lol

Shakey. I got one too. Tracy you said it well when you stated you owe it to yourself to go

It was nice to meet your wife and Todd's as well. Lots of wives and kids. Coyote Days is a family event.

Beauty! You more than earned it 49er!

That was a fantastic gathering. I can believe how much knowledge is in one spot.

I’m gonna say it…Coyote Days is better than any NTA, FTA, or state convention to which I’ve ever been. No half-knowledge, no slouches, no boredom.

Here’s Tracy. What a fantastic cat demo. He was humble and grateful enough to mention his mentors while up there but - make no mistake - he’s right up there with Bill and Joel.

Another of John Barnum. Another fantastic wealth of knowledge.

"he’s right up there with Bill and Joel."
But enough about my waistline.

I thought it was an "age" crack; but, what do I know?

There is absolutely NO doubt that some of the best Coyote & Bobcat ‘minds’ are at Coyote Days every year.

Being up there with Bill & Joel is a huge compliment, and I can testify to that

Lots of people have told me in the last few years that there bobcat catch increased significantly after watching the demos at Coyote Days, and some of them are no slouches themselves

Why I didn’t take more pictures is beyond me…..
