I was watching the Pursuit Channel the other nite and they had renowned predator caller Murray Burnham on. In introducing him it was said he had called in "hundreds of thousands" of coyotes and other predators.
I realize Mr. Burnham has been at this for a long time - he is 70 years old - but then I started doing the math.
They said "hundreds of thousands."
Let's say he has been predator calling for 50 years. To put this in perspective, to call in 200,000 predators over that time he would have had to call in an average of 11 a day, every day of the year for those 50 years to reach that number.
Say he "only" hunted 250 days a year over that time, he would have had to call in an average of 16 a day for 50 years.
I grew up reading about Mr. Burnham and his calling exploits but those numbers are a bit high IMO.

Barry,

Sounds like a slip of the tongue to me. The probably meant hundreds or even thousands of yotes. That would be more realistic. Then again, maybe we should wish he has killed that many. There are a few up here, but we are hearing of more sightings all the time.
