What an outstanding hunt we had this weekend... We hunted all over the South Central Pa Region. We made only 10 stands for the entire weekend (we stay long and travel far in between) and called in 5 coyotes.
Now the statistics:
THE COYOTES 5
TOM, ERIC, & JIM 0
Safety issues plagued even firing at 2 of the 5. House right behind the coyotes.. Ah they even sat down but the shooters did the right thing and did not fire.
Another call in was in direct line with all of us and it was there he is and then there he ain't. Just that simple real fast it was over..
Wind shift from West to North West caused the coyotes to come right into the caller instead of circling and coming in above the two shooters.
One of those thing. Caller had a rifle instead of a shotgun. Determination had to be made of what the in comings were at first.. When it was determine that it was coyotes not deer. The two startled coyotes and also startled caller resulted in a quick shot made at two coyotes heading out at 50 MPH to the next county.
We actually saw a few fox too but we were coyote hunting...
All and all we had an outstanding time. had some good laughs, ribbing of course too.
One women came up to us while we took a coffee break and wanted to know just why we were all dressed alike? She asked if we worked for one of the ski places? , You know making snow for them since we all had white Cableas coverall that were the same exact style..
It truly turned out to be an outstanding Mosquito Creek hunt. One that the three of us will remember for a long time..
Had the snow not been so deep and crusty we all might have been up at Mosquito Creek right now performing check-in..
We had to set up best we could due to the still deep and crusty snow. Now That Was A Good Time In Penn's Woods!
