ok I gotta share this one


ok so i got home from work at about 615 ish today so i quickly get dressed and get all my gear on get to my spot on the edge of a field by 645 ish so i start out with a distress call about 5 10 min after i get to my spot so through out the 2 1/2 hrs im out there i don't hear or see anything just enough moon light to see about 100 yds so i haven't called for about 25 min { i didn't dress to warm } so now im gettin cold so I get out of the tree stand and walk about 10 yds from the wood line and fig make 1 more howel wait wait nothing then the woods to my east { about 40 yds away } erupts with 5 or maybe 6 coyotes howling like crazy and it sounds like there commin and commin fast { we have about a foot and a half of snow with a light crust on top so anything walking was pretty loud } so i see the first one at the edge so instinctively I pick up and shoot { im shooting a 222 and I lost the one and only clip I had } so now im like WTF that coyote turns and runs south @ 100mph now the rest of them wont stop howling freaked the shit right outa me none the less after fumbling to get another shell in it all stops and the woods was silent i get back to my house & I have a missed call from the farmers property i hunt " did you get the fucker " i called him back with a sad no .

[Tbush]

Its almost like they'er after you ya I can relate.... a piece of advise would be not to go into a tree stand and call, They can see you to easy and pin point you

Night hunting is a lot of fun, but when they howl and they are close, it's like a bull elk bugling right in your face

very cool story. Yep the first time I had five come in and they about ran me over I nearly had my heart pop out of my mouth. Great story.
