We received about an inch of snow which started falling late Thursday night and continued to fall up through about noon hour. The land really looks different than it did in my photos from last Sunday. There was some mighty slippery hinking in a few places I walked. Here's a couple photos of one of the spots I set up and called in after the rancher dropped me off at my pickup.
The slight bit of wind that was blowing was coming out of the northeast. I set up under a juniper tree and had my FX5 sitting on my tripod about 50 yards to the NNW of my stand. Here's a wide angle view from my position.
This photo is from the same location, but I zoomed in a little bit and got the barrel and part of my scope in the photo.
Here's a look at what I saw when looking to the ENE of my stand:
I did call in six magpies and got a little excited when they came flying by, but they didn't seem to have any coyote companions with them. The pavement I drove on had some real icy patches on it and I wanted to head back home in the daylight, so I headed back for home after two stands. It was white knuckle driving in some spots and I was happy to be back home for supper.
Let me know when you're headed out to Gramps place & I'll help do the driving. 
We might just be related!! We just wanted the coyotes!!
