I'm still in the game; my 3 day shotgun hunt turned into a 1 day hunt do to a massive snow/freezing rain storm at the farm, I went out the 1st 2 days but basically hid from the storm in a snowbank and cursed myself for being stupid enough to go out when I couldn't even see out past 30yrds, it got that bad!
Yesterday was nice, and I had a pair of small does at 23yrds for the longest time presenting shots, but the shotgun hunt was bucks only, I would have taken one if I had my bow. Later in the day I got excited when I heard crashing and a doe lept out of the ceders and ran past with noise behind her, I got ready for the big buck coming, but it was a huge coyote. Moments later I heard the pack start howling in the direction they came from, I'm pretty sure they separated the pair I had seen earlier and took down the other doe. Even after telling the story of the coyote chasing a young deer in deep snow my host still won't let me shoot the yotes, he's too much of a dog lover.

Anywho, I still have a tag, but limited time. Don't count me out yet! Its coming down to the wire so I'm not letting a legal deer pass, buck or doe, but who knows, the big boy is out there, he may be the next to walk past within range.
