Incredible opening morning!!
« on: October 01, 2016, 10:05:00 AM »
I started this season out sitting over a century old white oak. Is has been a great spot for me over the dozen or so years that I have hunted this farm.  

Not a very good pic, but you get the idea.

About 30 minutes after legal shooting light, I had a lone, mature doe come in. I shot her at 17 yards. The hit was perfect, so I just sat back to enjoy the morning.

About 30 minutes later, a young doe came bounding by me. I looked behind her and thought I saw a coyote running away. I looked back and there was another coyote standing 15 yards away, facing directly away from me. I came to full draw, and released my second perfect arrow of the morning! I knew the shot was good immediately.

I got down and made the short 60 yard recovery on my doe.

   

Sorry for the blurry pic. I was a little excited knowing that I had just arrowed my first coyote in 35 years of bowhunting!

I took care of my doe, then started slowly tracking the coyote. It made it about 100 yards before expiring.

   

To say I was excited would be a great understatement!  What an incredible start to a new season. I just turned 50 three days ago.....happy birthday to me!

That's awesome! I have only been bowhunting about 30yrs, and heve never shot a yote either. I hope I get one before 5 more years passes by!

Congrats on the double! Musta been that bad azz string on that bow you were shooting!     :thumbsup:      :thumbsup:

thanks guys! This was only the 2nd coyote that I have ever seen while hunting in the East. I shot at the other one while it was running about 20 years ago with my longbow. He won that round.
