Went out today for some muzzleloading hunting.Got out around 10 am kicked up a small rack 6 pt.Couldnt really get a clear shot at him being he was going away from me.So tryed to get him to stop by doe bleating at him but didnt change his course.Figured he was going 1 way I'd go the other and see where he was bedding down.Wouldnt you know it,this buck is bedding down within 150 yds of the house my brother place.
Went back up on the mountain and did some stillhunting.Had 3 does come running down the mountain at me about 100yds out.They where holding tight to the brush so thought I spooked them.Watched them with the binocs and they kept looking back up the hill behind them.I'm like what the heck are they watching for another deer maybe I thought.NOPE dang coyote running around spooking them up.I slide in behind a big oak and laid the cross hairs on him. He got about 40 yds from me and I dropped the hammer on him.240 grn XTP about took his head off.Young male yote bout 65 lbs.
Going back out tomorrow,season ends on Tues. unless I make a 3 1/2 hr ride down to long island to do some bow hunting down there.
