What a great trophy! If I had a choice of shooting a nice whitetail buck or a coyote, I'd take the 'yote.
Congratulations Tracy!

Thanks guys, It sure felt good to be in the woods even if it was raining cats and dogs :saywhat:
It's been a very long summer after a accident at work May 1st. They rebuilt my shoulder in June and just recently I have been able to start shooting, working my way up from a kids bow to my youngest sons 56# recurve. Honestly I didn't think it was going to happen this year but it's funny how fast things can turn around.
If it wasn't for my Tradgang friends always giving me encouragement and helping me along it would have been alot worse.
OK, With my hunting season just starting I didn't want to miss the hunt even if it was going to rain some. I decided to sit in one of are blinds and try to stay dry, I wasn't there long and a young doe came out and feed for awhile so I took some picks and video. When the first bolt of lightning hit she ran for the woods as fast as she could go.
When the rain stopped this little female coyote came out and went over to a deer scrape and squatted right in it. As I was turning the camera on she left but I started mouth squeaking and then a big male came out and marked right on her spot. I saw movement on the right side of the blind and she walked right by and stopped five feet from the front window.
The only way I could shoot was to stand up and shoot down at her. When I stood up she heard it and turned quartering toward me a little, The shot was just a tad high but angling down taking a lung and liver she only ran thirty yards. The woodsman did a great job, She is skinned out and in the freezer.

Nice coyote Tracy :readit:

Dang it sorry, double wammy :D
-
Good job Tracy, glad Your healed up enough to shoot again. bretto

Thanks everybody :goldtooth: I can't tell you how good it felt to just be carrying a bow.
Chris K, I had a 100% tear of rotator cuff tendons, 90% tear of the bicep tendon and a labrium cartilage tear. It took seven pins to put the shoulder back together, When I landed on my feet I also broke the top part of my hip socket a tore the labrium there too which still needs to be fixed. Workmans comp is dragging there feet on that one because I will have to have it fixed in Colorado Or Tennessee.
I'm far from done but I'm hunting and that's all that matters right now. I hope to be up and running by the time you guys have your next 5K race.
Ryan, I sent you some picks when I sent Curt's :)
As soon as the rain stops we will be out hunting deer so more picks to come real soon I hope :jumper: Thanks again guys it means alot.

Again good job and continue to get better!

Tracy,
Congratulations on the yote. It's good to see you were able to get the shoulder rehabed in time for hunting season. Keep up with your PT and don't over do it.

Tracy... nothing monumental to comment on about the trip.
The weather was poor. The main problem with that is it limits access to the farm I hunt. Can't get within a mile of the place when the roads get muddy.
My alternate spot did show me some deer but one has to consider the guy I was hunting with. If it weren't for bad timing he's have no timing at all!
The first evening he came out of the woods early and when he drove past my spot there were deer headed toward my blind... so he stopped to look at them and they left.
The second evening same thing happened.
The last morning he came walking in about nine thirty to see if I wanted to leave... I think it's over for me and this guy!
Trying to get lined out on a good spot I can take Vance when he heads back this way. Easier said than done around here.
