Congratulations to Ritchy also.
We setup a good game plan. We were at my uncles. A member here was posting about a large snowstorm. We have always used Yahoo Pittsburgh, close radar.
We can look West to Indianapolis, Which directly across to the West 6 hours. We seen the percipitation was coming the opposite way. This year we had the good weather.
The all district hunt last season, I went with my uncle incase he fell, or something. We seen the snow was approaching faster than we expected. We had plans on coon hunting thickets along creek banks, in which we marked for 3 days with trail markers.
The early snowfall changed the plan. My uncle suggested we hunt a old bard, near a creek, before dark, where he and richy seen coons at dusk nearly every evening, while bowhunting.
We flipped a coin, Richy got the barn, and I got the old outhouse 50 yards away. I was using a mp3 player and just a small amp speaker.
Richy was using the furpro, on canary. three raccoons came in together. He got 2, I got one. HaHa!, he would have had 3 but he was having a hard time his scope was fogging.
We went home, and the snow fell fast, we slept till 2am. We got up grabbed the decoy bad, and my uncle drove us to a farm, we have seen coyotes on. I hunted a hut a friend built for deer hunting. Ritchy setup his popup blind, and the decoy and call, about 100 yards down along a fencerow, which was logged last summer.
He had everything setup at about 5:30 am. I got cold sold I went over too the blind.
He said if one came out he got first shot, as he set everything up. He was mad because the call went off 1 time,but i snuck around the backside of the hill, because the wind changed from the time we were dropped off.
I was watching out the rear of the blind, which was a miserable view.
It was just getting light, we heard what soundrd as 3 to 4 coyotes to our right. Richys call kicked on. We waited.
Richy had the window unzipped with his rifle setting perfect in the saddle of th window. He said they were coming out. He was just about to shoot, and he said it barked at the decoy. He shot, and he jumped up and hollored, worm theres another, i got in his seat, and it was about 150 yards dead run, going strait away. I couldn"t get on it.
But as I was getting in the chair, The coyote ran up towards are hut, and stopped, then ran the opposite direction.
Richy could have had both, but he was unselfish, as usual, and gave me a shot.
I am glad he won, he could have probably sealed it, with the second coyote, as we figured it would take at least 2 coyotes.
Thanks guys, I got 2 shots and some antibiotics, and yet another vacation from school.
This time it is excused. lol.
