Title: black jack
Post by: sebek556 on January 16, 2012, 05:03:17 PM: :bash: if anyone happens to go to the state land in the bonnie lake area and finds a foxpro black jack please let me know..
Figured I would go there since my normal spots are not producing any yotes and I always see them when I turkey hunt down there. Find a nice spot tons of scat, tracks nice gentle cross wind, set up the foxpro, set up the blackjack on top of the little nole. get my hide all set up, looks promising. Start off with lightning jack, and bam a freakin hawk swoops down grabs my blackjack and flys off. I fired a shot into the nole hoping he would get scared and drop it but no, that little *censored* cuts in through the trees and outs sight. :bash: looked around couldnt find it going home pissed to drink a beer

Post by: sebek556 on January 16, 2012, 07:14:13 PM: it worked great for the first 5 yotes I took this year with it, my daughter has rabbits so I took the critter and threw it in with them when I was not hunting with it so it would also have smell. most of my areas are pretty thick trees. It worked well enough to get one at 25yards to take with the bow :tup: I will try to find it again tomorrow if not off to cabelas for another one.. and maybe some weights :tup:
