Title: Ready to start hunting!!!
Post by: predhunter82 on July 25, 2012, 03:18:29 PM
I decided to go out last evening and do a little bit of scouting and some calling. This summer is just going by way to slow. At about 715 I got to a probable new stand location in the mountain laurel and decided to to sit for a little bit and do some calling. I turned on the old dying bluejay on my fox pro for a few minuted and then turned it off. After waiting a little while I changed over to a rabbit in distress. At about this time the sweat was poring down my face. I really wasn't expecting to call in anything close but it was nice to be out hunting again. About 15 minutes into my stand I had to wipe the sweat off my face ( it was starting to sting the eyes a little bit) as soon as I was done a patch of laurel about 25 yards off to my 11 o'clock starting rustling. When i looked up I could see the tips of a bobcats ears moving away from me. Talk about a mid summer thrill!!!!! This is stand is definitely going to make into the rotation this fall!!!!!

Nice story and I can't wait much longer. I'm thinking about going out soon. If we get a night in the 50's I'll probably hit a couple spots. I usually don't go early for fear of educating the fox but fox sightings are getting few and fa between anyhow,. So, bring on the coyotes.

I usually don't like going out this early either but the fever is getting real bad already. I'm hoping it starts cooling down early this year. I havent been seeing alot of foxes either. However i have been seeing alot of coyote sign and hearing alot more then i usually do this time of year.
