Nice work! I was wondering how the blind behind the office would work out. Seems like it worked out pretty well.
. Sure did. Thanks!
Got in the stand about 4:45 PM tonight. Deer were already in the field a few hundred yards away. I got in quiet and was setup over some acorns, I had high hopes for the hunt. You could hear a pindrop up in the stand tonight, overcast weather...it just felt good!
About 6:15 I catch a glimpse of what I think is a deer moving against the standing corn field about 80 yards away from me. I see another... another.. another... finally I realize they are coyotes and there is a pack of 6!!!
It took me a minute to get my bearings together, then realize they are over 100 yds away running in the opposite direction. I frantically grab my primos can bleat in a last minute effort to atleast stop them and get a good look through the binos. I hit the call and they all lock up in their tracks. I hit it again... the back two in the pack turn toward me and show interest. I hit it a third and final time and the back coyote turn and heads right toward me.
I had ranged two shooting lanes from this direction, one at 38 and one at 25, outside of that it has to be right in my lap to take a shot. The yote is very skiddish anyway coming into the call I can tell, so when it gets to about 55 yards I come to full draw, when I drew it stopped for about 30 seconds (seemed like an hour). Finally it came up to the 38 yard window and I knew if I wanted to shoot it was now or never. So I let a 100 grain Rage 2-blade on a Goldtip XT Hunter arrow with a Lumenok fly.
SMACK!! Perfect hit! Smoked it, the yote went about 10 yards max and dropped. I was pumped!
My first yote and to harvest it with a bow icing on the cake, I was all jacked up. For those of you who have seen my earlier threads about the problems i've been having with yotes on my apple pile, you can understand my excitement!
So no deer tonight but a hunt I will always remember!

Can we count the neighbor's cat that Brutus the boxer killed last night? Left it right by the front porch for the kids to find.

I think that is a legit request Hicks, I mean he probably did hunt it down. Brutus just wanted to show you his kill and maybe get his picture taken with his trophy just like his owner does. Not like they were haning out on the porch together and got to drinking on the porch and Brutus said I bet you that you can't cross the road with out getting hit and then SMACK.
