Coyote Huntin~What your CB handle say's about you?

When I first met my husband, I had never heard of coyote huntin! But, apparently in the holler coyote huntin is something that has been passed down from generation to generation! They have coyote dogs,tracking collers,dog boxes and CB radios.I thought only truckers had CB radios,boy was I wrong.... most of the hunters have a CB radio in their trucks and in their homes ...Umm...just because we live in the holler,we have progressed to having telephones,guess they didn't get that memo.And yes,if you were wondering, this city girl has one in her home!!

Anyway,back to CB handles, when my husband and I were dating, I would go coyote huntin with him,you know that was the time when our relationship was all new and I wanted to spend every waking moment with him...my how things have changed.LOL. (I helped catch a dog one time and it drug me down the road so that was pretty much the end of my coyote experience) But, when he would introduce me to someone new or I would hear him talking on the radio he would call them by their handle...here's some examples and I am not making these names up....Chicken Man,Cowboy,Motorcycle Kid,Datsun Boy,Swamper,Wild Man,and Pokie their are a lot more, but we don't have all day. For a long time I did not know some of these men's real names!! Some, I am still unsure about.  And I do not know how most came about getting their name,some are self explanatory though! Also, you must know how to talk on the radio...this is how you address these men when talking on the radio, you say "How bout it?" Motorcycle Kid and then they say go ahead,then you proceed with your conversation. This was so crazy to me back then,not so much now, I do enjoy listening to these men,young and old talk on the radio. I never have to worry about watching the weather if it snows,storms or floods,all I have to do is turn on the radio and Cowboy will be giving an up to min. weather report! LOL. This is entertainment at it's finest and if you want to catch the lastest coyote race,tune in every Sat. and you can here which dog is leading the race and how many coyotes they have caught. I am still not sure about this coyote huntin,they say it is a service to the community,which I understand,but sometimes I think this is a generational excuse for these men to get out of the house.LOL.
