Today was opening early muzzle loader deer weekend.  I decided to leave the smoke pole at home and I crawled in to my tree stand with my crossbow.  (I'm bound and determined to kill something with that dayum thing).   So anyways, no deer showed.  I was watching the brush to my right when I glanced left and saw the back third of a coyote about 15 yards out slipping in to the jungle I used to call my woods.  If (here goes the *IF* statement) I had been looking left I am pretty sure I could have got a shot off at the mangy critter. (It wasn't mangy but I call all coyotes mangy anyways)  

I lip squeaked hoping to get him/her to do a 180 degree turn and come back out in the open.  No taker.  So I pulled out a hand call (Thanks, CCP) and started the bunny blues.  Still no coyote.  I blew a couple of series and just sat quiet.  10-15 minutes later up from the creek comes a very healthy bobcat.  It was out about 50 yards and had eased in to a small clearing but even if it were under my tree, they are out of season until Nov 21st in KY.  So I watched it slip right in front of me back in to the jungle.  

No deer but the coyote and bobcat sure made the whole morning for me.   :biggrin:

Cool story Semp, more and more I find myself taking in a call and calling from a stand when I get bored. Deer stands get harder for me every year.

Sounds like you have a good hunting spot for more than just deer!

Right on, that would be pretty neat to prick a yote with that crossbow.

Congrats on the freezer meat pat :congrats:

Made for a good day Semp, maybe when your out coyote hunting a deer will show up, that's how it usually works.  Good luck getting your deer.
