I called the owner of the property, where I had seen plenty of fox previously. She told me she had coyote's howling howling a few nights earlier. I told her I would be up sometime after dark Thanksgiving night. After I finished half of a 25lb bird. I suited up for what I would hoped to be a successful night in the fields.
I got to the farm about 1945hrs, 7:45 for those that don't military time. I decided to attack the wood line from a different angle this time around as I didn't want to educate the fox from the same spot. As I skirted the edge of the soy field, using a green light to guide my way. I was about 75yds away from where I was going to make my first stand. Something busted out of the soy beans like a bat out of heck. I quick put up the light to see what it was, but the was not bright enough to get a good look. So I turned on the gun light. By then, what ever it was, had mad it over the lil hill in fron t of me. So I listened to it running. It did not sound like a deer running. I could hear the soy beans hitting its body. It made it to the neighboring property and I didn't hear anything else after that. I got to my spot put out the Power Dogg bout 50yds in front me. As sat and waited a few minutes before I started to call. I could hear some dear on the other about 100+yds away carrying on making distress snorts. I got up to see what was going on. I shined my head lamp and gun light into the field. There were at least 6 deer in the field all looking the same direction. Away from me. They were stumping pacing carrying on real bad. So I stepped further into the field to see what was going on. I shined the lights down the wood line and caught 3 sets of eyes. I must have walked in on an ambush.
I know where I'm hunting in few weeks after the early gun season is over.
