You know #40fan, if and when I kill one of those sick ugly buggers up here, you'll be the first to get the blame for letting it live long enough to make it this far. Keep killing them, please.....I begging of you!!
Despite being on call at work, called my boss last night to get his blessing to go out just for a bit this a.m., I made a run out to a rancher friend of mines place to pick up two that he killed recently. He said I could have them since he wasn't going to kill enough to worry about selling them. SO, since it was about a 35 minute drive, thought it would be nice to at least do a couple or three stands real quick. Told the boss that I would be home before noon. Well, first stand, almost started calling too early. Didn't see #1 coyote until it was about 50 yards and closing. It figured out that it was a set up and starteda brisk departure, but since I knew that it hadn't smelled me, I did several mouth barks and got it stopped for a simple 75 yard standing shot. Did a few quick ki-yi's and back to rabbit distress and about another 5 minutes later, #2 almost back- doored me. It did get a wiff of me, but I was still able to get it barked stopped about 150 yards out, again for a simple standing broadside shot. Drew a blank on the next stand, and then got one to come across a road to me on the third stand with only about 2 minutes of rabbit distress. A simple 50 yard facing me shot, and it was bagged too. Not a bad morning, for being on call for work!
