Some of you may know of Jeremy's passion for coyote calling. He likes to hunt yes, but loves to call coyotes. In 2004, Jeremy and his good friend Nick Peterson decided to enter up in the coyote calling contest in St. Francis, Kan. It's called the Midwest Coyote Calling Event, and it's run by Brent Rueb. Competitors must check in on Friday night in St. Francis, then they have all day Saturday, and part of the day Sunday to hunt. The teams must return to St. Francis to check in by 3 p.m.
Well, after placing 7th in 2004 Jeremy and Nick were hooked. Their competitive nature led them to third place in 2005, and then they won in 2006 and 2007. In fact, at the 2007 contest they set a new record for the most coyotes killed at 18. The rules state that after two consecutive wins the team has to sit out a year or split up. They chose not to split up and returned in 2009 to win again.
That brings us to this year, 2010, the contest is complete and they are again the champions out of 143 teams. This time they broke their own record and won with 19 coyotes. Their goal was 20 and they were nearly late to check-in because of their determination to get that last one that continued to elude them.
Maybe they'll make it to 20 in 2012.
