Drizzle don't stop him
But the 243 did
This morning at the edge of daylight I slipped out for a set before heading to a good friend wifes service. Thought I would stay close to home so just up the road I start out across a small field. The wind was still but a drizzle was falling as soon as I get to the setup point " Figures"
I get the caller setup and move back to a tree and angle towards the tightest shooting area in front of the setup and grab the Pup open reed from the Quaker Boy Howler pack and thought I would start the set with a light jack rabbit.
I blow the call for like 30 seconds and catch movement out of the left side and Holly Hanna A yote is running right towards me. I swing with the 243 and he catches the movement and stops and POW !
All said and done, A male down and one less to harass the neighborhood animals and deer.
A fast hunt, but I did find it to warm to move and the drizzle soon changed to a little harder fall, so I packed it in just happy for the time I got this morning.
