It's almost time for the LBL hunt and I figured the FnF crew would pretty much wipe out the coyote population. So I thought I better get down there and find me one before they are all gone.  :eyebrownod:

The first 3 sets were no shows but on the 4th set, this female came in to my Yotehntr call. She was beginning to circle to get downwind of me. I lip squeaked and she stopped a good 50 yards out. She dropped like a sack of rocks DRT. My SBE with that new Carlson choke really throws a great pattern. I also added an EOtech XPS holographic sight that I borrowed from my AR.

She weighed 29 pounds.

I had to add that black pad to raise the comb of the stock after I installed the EOtech.   It's not too fancy but it works!

You can't kill 'em from the recliner!!

Yes!  Very impressive.  That place must get hunted super heavily.  I can't imagine how hard it must be to call stuff there. 



Yotehntr

Yotehntr calls... put something pretty on your lips :wink:

CONGRADULATIONS JOHNNY!!! :congrats: :congrats: Way to go on the coyote. :yoyo: But come on now, lets here about stand #5. :innocentwhistle: :biggrin:

KySongDog

Ya spilt the beans on me.   :eyebrownod:    I wasn't going to say anything about stand #5 because with out pics it is just a story and some don't believe anything without a pic!   :laf:

But here is what happened.  I got set up and started calling with Yotehntr's call (it was that "Johnny" call, Brad  :biggrin: )  since they seemed to like it on the last stand.  About 3 minutes in to the set, I heard a deer start blowing maybe 60 or 70 yards out in front of me in the thick stuff.  I thought WTH??  I knew it didn't smell me because I had the wind right.  Maybe it saw me move in or heard me set up??   Anyways, it ran off as I caught a glimpse of the white tail in the air through all of the trash. 

So what to do?  I figured I'm here and this is my last set today so I just continued on calling.   Only a minute or so later, a coyote appeared in the same area as the deer!   So THAT was what spooked the deer!   And like the rookie I am about hunting anything, I immediately got all tore up and went from depressed about the stand to instant adrendaline high.      Instead of keeping cool and bringing the varmint on in I took the shot and the coyote turned and ran back the way it came in like a scalded cat.   :alscalls:    The shot was just too far and I was trying to blast through too many sapplings, limbs, and other assorted junk.   :rolleye:     I walked down to the spot and looked around and found a couple drops of blood but knew the hit wasn't lethal.   I searched for a while but didn't have a machete with me to go much further and gave up.  It was really thick!

So that's what happened and I have no pic to prove it either.   :alscalls:

Semp,

Congratulations on the coyote.  I started reading stand #5 and thought you were going to end up with a coyote and a deer.

Congrats ...you done good.

I slipped off to LBL late Monday evening to a spot I had'nt been to in a couple years. Was'nt much sign of any critters ....yotes, deer, turkey....nothing. But I figured better test the water anyway....so only made one set before dark.... but no takers.

Sounds & looks like you got that Benelli set-up well.

Coulter

Very nice...way to go Semp. Man I have got to get out...
