.Saturday - I had my high school basketball game at 1 o'clock, but this wasnt going to stop us from sneaking out for some early morning stands!. I meet Marty at his place around 7am, and We head to try some spots close to town..
1st stand draws a blank with distant dogs howling, but just not interested in comitting, We pull up camp and head down the road to try another area.
Stand two we set up overlooking some ice, Marty is running the camera while I lay prone in the snow watching the ice.. I hit the call and spot 6 coyotes playing around 3/4 a mile away.. they are not the least bit interested.. Darn!.. I try everything, and these coyotes could care less.. Finally I hit my secret sound and 3 of them decide to come check us out.!
Two of the coyotes end up hanging up, but A big male out of the group decides he has had enough!.. he comes in perftect. At 100 yards He looks to his left and I decide play time is over. He dies in his tracks witha shot to the throat.! An hour from the start of the stand, we have a dog down!
After retrieveing this coyote and trying 1 more blank stand, We decide I better get to my game!! its approaching noon.. I arrived at the school with my blood soaked whites on, smelling like a coyote.. I dont think my coach was to happy!!..
Ok lets fast forward to Sunday.. Once again Marty and I have to be back into town at around noon, As we both have some matters to attend to, Marty was headign to hawaii, And I had family pictures.. ergggggg. Well this still wasnt going to stop us.!
We decide to head to one of my " honey holes " that has produced for us, we arrive before Daylight. and we both take a quick nap.. As the sun rises, A heavyy fog accompanies it, We can only see 100 yards in every direction!.. Oh well.
Marty once again grabs the tripod and camera, While I Pack the 22-250 and foxpro.
We get setup, and I start with my new FAVORITE rabbit distress, 7 minutes in I hear marty whistle at me, There comes a song dog, right through the fog!!. Man was it beautiful. The dog reaches 50 yards And I yip him to a stop.. I shoot, and coyote #1 has expired!.. I hit the ky-yi, then switch back to rabbit.. 3 miuntes later I hit my secret sound, And once again on martys side a coyote comes loping down the 2 track trail right by his dead buddy!!.. I quickly adjust my rifle, and let out a yip-yip-yip!. The coyote looks my way.. Bad decision. 2 dogs down!..and the best partt.. We got it all on film.. Man I love this stuff!!
next two stands were blanks, and we were back by noon.. pretty good morning.!. The coyotes are having a rough winter!.. Ill post the video a bit later..
Hope you enjoyed.
Mitch.
