Default RE: Team 8 "The Snoodlers"

Came close this afternoon. Got into the blind at 4pm and called a hen down the firebreak not 10 minutes after I got set-up. I was feeling pretty good about my chances already. An hour went by without seeing/hearing a bird. I scratched a little more on my glass call and looked up to see a pair of coyotes criss-crossing the clearing about 80 yards up the hill. They stuck around for 15 minutes and the horses proceeded to run them off right infront of my set-up making a less than peaceful moment. I decided this wasnt going to work, so I threw my dekes in the blind and made my way to higher ground and try a natural blind set I made a couple years back. I got settled in and made some calls and had another hen walk across the field at 100yds. I got my bow ready, just in case...10 minutes crept by. I figured nothin doin, so I twisted my body to the left to set my bow back on its hanger. 60 yards a vertical line of red was sticking out of the grass looking at me. It was game over right there and I knew it. I just stayed still and he walked off into the woods. He never made a sound. I waited for another 30 minutes but was so frustrated with myself that I just decided to head back and pout about it to you guys. Weather still looks good for this weekend so hopefully a very dumb bird will make a mistake soon...
