Title: finaly called one in
Post by: shoot-em-dead on February 07, 2009, 02:42:16 PM

Oh man am I pumped. Went out this morning even though it was foggy to a spot that I called one in last year. I couldn't see past 200yds but set up and called with a rabbit distress. After 4 sets the fog lifted and I just sat there for an extra 10 trying to decide where to go try again. Just as I was about to get up I looked behind me and off to my left and see a yote silhouette about 450yds out. He came running towards me and disappeared into a little dip about 150yds out. Then popped his head over the hill and I should have shot him cause he turned and disappeared. I got the scope on him at 250 and squeezed the shot but must have missed cause he put the afterburners on and was out of there. Went over to where I shot at him and didn't see any sign that I hit him. I hope if ever get good at yote hunting that the adrenaline rush I got today doesn't go away.

Hey I called in my first yote today too!  Walked out on a ridge and cut a fresh track in the snow, so I set up to call down into the canyon.  Sat under a tree for about 10 min. calling rabbit distress.  He came running right up the hill and stopped at 20 yards broadside.  Whacked him with my 45!  Dropped in his tracks.

I feel your peaks and valley's of coyote hunting.  The high of calling them in and then the lull of missing a shot.  Its still fun though.
