Title: Season Finale Hunt
Post by: Seeking_Coyotes on February 18, 2012, 11:49:03 AM
It was a goal of mine this year to help new or interested hunters get a solid start in predator hunting.  I put a lot of offers out there and some took me up.  Then I found Damian a new PPHA member who is just on fire for predator hunting!  We hunted three times together and I think next season will find us hunting a lot together.   Damian reminds me of my early predator hunting days when I just could not get enough.  He is a terrific guy who always has a baked good in hand when he shows up to hunt, always has a smile on his face, an ear willing to listen to tips, and a spirit that wants to hunt all night.

I invited Damian up for a season finale hunt last night and we had a great night.  We had been absolutely inundated with fox on our first two hunts.   Last night we couldn't call in a single fox until around 1:00 A.M.  Luckily the racoons were out in force last night and Damian killed four of them.  We finished off the night with a fox each and then called it a night at 3:00 A.M.  All in all it was a great season finale!

1st Coon (got stuck on a branch and had to be shot a second time to knock it down from the tree)

2nd and 3rd Coons (They were on top of each other when Damian shot and he killed both with a single load of 3 1/2 #4 Turkey Shot)

4th Coon (Largest of the 4 pack):

Mike,
Can't say enough thanks for having me out on those three hunts. I must have gotten five years experience in three nights! I know the learning curve for me was shortened tremendously. Thanks for putting up with me missing a bunch too. I think I'm slowly figuring out what loads are best in my gun and what aiming issues I might have had.(Mike didn't mention I missed another fox last night).
I look forward to hunting with you next year and hopefully can repay you with getting you on some deer down my way!
