Its kinda funny how Karma will bite ya....

I guess this was kind of a good sign... The first stand of the new year went great...( sort of )...
I took the kid from church that I took out on Monday... I really wanted to get him a coyote, and I was still razzing him really hard about missing on Monday, so as we were waiting for the sun to come up on the first stand, I was giving him a verbal lay of the land, and what kind of ground we were going to hunting since we were hunting my ground this time... We got set up, right before light, it got good enough to see and I lit up the first series or Rabbit distress, on my trusty Hedge DC1, the territory was kind of tight so I didnt want to blow anything out... I have had good success following that up with some Pup Distress almost instantly with the CH1... after the first series nothing.... I lit up the DC1 again, and I caught a gray flash trying to make it across the cornfeild.... At first glance I thought Gray Fox, then it got closer.... Coyote, small but killable for sure.... It was on a dead sprint towards us... it got to a point were it looked like it was going to break for the tall grass off to my left and behind us... 30 yards and closing of to my left... I gave it a little lip sqeak, and it made a be line right for us... "Remember I was razzing the kid, for missing on monday...." it got to about 15 yards, I barked, and it didnt stop... Now, its probabley Ten feet, and the crunching of the Corn Stalks is ringing in my ear... I yelled "hey" to stop him... He hit the brakes I pulled up and nothing but fur in the scope..." bang, miss, he spun and is on the exit bang, miss, bang, miss, bang miss........ Nic, walked over and said, what the heck just happened... I litterally was shaking like I had just been shot at myself.... I said I dont know....

Its been a long time since I had been rattled like that..... Thats Predator Hunting at its best.... It was just a little pup female, and she flat out rattled my cage...

Stand two, after I put some fresh pantys on....LOL... Called and thought nothing... We got in the truck and headed to stand three, and we seen a coyote that had back doored us, and was trying to make it out of the county before we cut him off with the truck and he sped off the other direction...

Stand Three.... Nothing... I think that the water came up and flooded out their bedding areas...

None the less... Nothing dead, but probabley one of the most memorable mornings in a while...
