BNb, Yep, you guessed it. On the first day of the NDCC, both my team and Tbushs team were hunting an area that we both know well. We had killed a coyote off this land right at first light and then driving back by, seen another coyote just lolly-gagging around on a dead cow. Well, we had NO IDEA that anyone was around so I got dropped off and comenced to putting the stealh sneak on him. Tbush may have to chime in to keep this story on track but as I understand it, coming from him, he had already seen it and was stalking in on it and had tried to call it or something like that(Tbush????). Anyway, I am watching the coyote and sneaking closer and I only have to get maybe another 75-100 yards or so and it should be a chip shot. Next thing I know, I am looking thru my binos and a fella pops up RIGHT over the top of the coyote and the coyote is up and running. Now the coyote, as memory serves me is pretty much right dead between me and Tbush and he has NO IDEA I am there and I see his rifle come up and 4 shots later, the coyote is down. I didnt find out until later who it was but we had a laugh over it later.
On a serious note tho, you cannot be to careful out there. A guy always thinks he is the ONLY one around and this goes to show that you still have to pay attention. I was behind a hill and safe when he shot but only because I was lucky enough to see it coming. It was no ones fault and we both had permission to be there. Just a complete fluke but hell, I guess I made a new friend out of the deal and got away with a good TRUE story.
Anyway, Tbush may have a few other blanks to fill in but thats the skinny as I recall it from where I was. If I was to give Tbush any hard time over it, I would wonder how it took 4 shots that close to get him. He could near have beat him to death. His stalk was that good!
Later fellas,
Jaybic
