RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
The calling is definately getting tougher by the day around here! I spent 7 hours on Saturday working on land access, scouting on footand reviewing aerial photos. As the sun went down I started making stands... 10.5 hours laterI quit. Killed everything I called, so I can't complain. Running on about 2.5 hours of sleep since Friday... hope the weather holds up another day or two.

RE: 08-09 predator score sheet
Well, I made a trip to predator rich AZ., but callin' wasn't as good as I had hoped for. Isn't that always the case. I did manage to kill 3 of the 4 that I got shots at. The bad side is, that I had high hopes for a cat, BIG or small, but never got to see either. Plenty of tracks of them, but finding them is not so easy. It was a lot of fun calling in a totally new area. Lots of variety in land scape. Hope to do it again some day.
This double answered our two man group howl at 11:30 a.m., and they were both young males. Hit the 2nd one a little far back as he was retreating back to cover after the first shot. He didn't make it far before dropping over.

As I was heading home yesterday early afternoon, I came across a lot of tracks on the road, so I stopped and did 3 stands, and got one hard charging double in. Only managed to dump one of the two.

Good shooting, Jrb and Howler.
Just so I don't have to go back and look through old posts, when is this contest supposed to end? I was thinking the 15th of next month, but for some reason I thought the end of the is month was mentioned. Supposed to start remodeling the bathroom and the old lady is getting pretty anxious about the start date. Can't do anything until I am done killing....

They changed it to the end of this month (28th) for this season. Last year it was the 15th of March.
I'm heading out the door to go retrieve a couple I killed in the back country last night. Spent3.5 hours on foot... once I finally got on them there was no way I was dragging back to the truck! Fields are too sloppy to drive and most 2-tracks are impassible because of the ice damage. Gonna take an hour to get them out.
