Title: Coyote Hunting Tomorrow!
Post by: ebusa on March 25, 2009, 06:06:13 PM: Well, everything is packed up ready to go!

My old man and I are going to give this a try for the first time. Got brand new AR-15's that need to be initiated! We are heading up towards INDEX, going to do some scounting and pick a spot.

Anyone have any other idea's on where a good place might be worth checking out? We live in Snohomish and are trying to stay around 2hrs or less drive.

Thanks!

Post by: ebusa on March 26, 2009, 06:55:51 PM: Well, didn't get any today! But had a great time scouting and packing the rifles around. Beautiful sunny day with nice snow on the ground. Soon as I started messing with the cord on my Extreme Dimentions Phantom caller I immediatlly thought "I'll be getting a FoxPro with wireless remote". :chuckle:

Also, I thought I'd give my predator shooting stix a try...couldn't get comfortable, pissed off that I had to carry them around. May leave those in the truck next time!

Didn't call anything in, but we did see a great big bobcat cross the road and some deer while we were driving in. Saw a few coyote tracks in the snow, but no luckl. On the way home I swung into Everett Courthouse filled out the paperwork for my CPL! Been wanting to get that done for years!

To end our day, heading home on southbound I5 I look to my left and a nice coyote is watching us drive by at 65mph. :yike:
