been sitting in the woods and fields for a year know makin funny noises and finally got something to come in the way they say its supposed to happen, ha!
made 2 stands close to my house in the daylight starting at 3pm with rabbit distress and my decoy which produced nothing, decided to make a stop at my grams house for some leftover sauerkraut and smashed taters around 5 and headed to my uncles farm afterwards. parked by the barn, geared up and started walking, noticed that the wind was actually in my favor (for once) and thought to myself that this spot might actually work out... walked up the dirt field road about a hundred yards to where the cattle fence stops. it made sense to me to sit here cuz it was the only cover for quite a ways, and with my back to the cattle, i figured any movement i made could be passed off as the cattle by whatever i might call in. i decided to start with a low volume, closed reed, rabbit distress... i only used it for about 15-20 seconds when something in my gut told me to scan, so thats what i did... turned the kill light on, fire red eyes at 200yds, bouncing and hard chargin right at me, i honestly froze right up... i knew it was a red, and i locked up when i thought "what do i do to stop it so i can shoot?"... hahaha.. i just watched it in the scope till it stopped, i lip squeaked, it bounced another couple of yards and stopped again, blam!... the marlin 25.06 barked and she dropped right there... tickled pink, i finally called something in and made the shot count... next step, coyote!
