My vacation hunt is limited to about 3 days this year due to knee surgery burning up all my sick days and most of my vacation! :mad:
But I'll take ya along if you wanna go! Here is Fridays hunt:
I hit the stand well before daylite, sat a long time with nuthin but squirrels around. Beautiful morning anyway with a nice SW wind. Was hunting the West edge of a big timber/ swamp area, I like hunting the upwind side of timber, the wind lifts your scentstream right up over the woods. Wind is like water ,it seeks the easiest route.
About 8:00, a coyote comes by about 60 yds out from the N, he's carrying something bright red.
I let him get S of me a ways, then lipsqueak, here he comes, stops and buries the red morsel by a big oak, then on up to get the easy sqeekin meal. I shot him at about 12 yds, still plenty steep angle, he went 25 yds and down.
Rattled in a spike and took pics of him sniffing the bloddy arra stuck in the ground, but the pics are on my cell phone(why do I forget my dig cam??)
Went and looked at his prize, looked a lot like a deer lung.
Stopped by at a later hunt and took a pic, my cell pic I couldn't get to my computer.
If you wonder why I didn't skin him, he stunk so bad I couldn't barely get close nuff for a pic! Must have rolled in somethin really dead!
Fri eve, 1 doe comes by right at dark, but I'm lookin for bucks now, back to does after the 1st rut. :cool:
Back in a bit for Saturday!
