Can't get it to work

Foxpro51 that set up you were using? Looks like the Texas video entitled "Hunting The Night Shift?" you shoot from a platform on a moving truck as you call down the roads at night. I think in the video they are sitting in chairs up high on a platform.
I would like to go back to Texas someday to hunt predators. is that how the outfitters does it where you all hunted..Platform hunting? do they also allow you to go into the bush and call let say in the daytime?
I was stationed in Corpus Christi, Texas in the military...Always felt bad that I did nothing but duck hunting and fishing while there.. Sure wish I was hooked on Predator calling back in 70-72.

UncleBuck I am real happy with this cat, the color and spots are just beautiful. It came out on to a Sandra about 200 yards away on the first series of high pitched rabbit distress calls. When I saw it I gave a couple of more rabbit distress sounds to keep it coming. I said to Matt the guide and new friend that I wanted to let it get close. I was real bad with distance there because of not knowing this type of growth we were hunting in. So when it got close he whispered to me and said it is at 50 yards and still coming at a nice pace to shoot at I thought. I could seem to clearly see every hair on its ears and face and I thought I better take the shot. She was facing almost straight at me so I put it on her chest and hoped for not much damage. I was shooting a 223 55 Gr. PSP and it worked on her just like on the red fox shots at home straight on. No exit hole!! The bullet went in the front and when skinned I found the bullet in the hind leg just under the skin. A broad side shot would have ripped a hole on the ay out for sure. Sure glad I did not have to take that type of side ways shot. OK, so I talked too much. I will try and post the picture.

Cool setup. That Is a good Idea, I'm gonna make me one. Found a good tripod on sale for $59.00.

(We do not shoot from a moving vehicle.) To dangerous. WE drive a mile and stop drive a mile and stop etc. We climb up into high rack each time to call and shoot.

Buckwheat...wow that is a nice spotted cat!!!Thanks for sharing that with us....
-
Foxpro51 thanks for the response on the shooting set up. Yep that would be nice to shoot from a platform like that...
