Possumal Jr. elected to go hunting alone last Sunday bright and early, since I could not go and neither could Yote Yoda.  The weather was threatening, rain forecast, and quite a bit of wind.  Still, he was awake and decided to give it a try.  He was sitting in his truck before daybreak, with rain spitting off and on his windshield, and the wind rocking pretty good.  Just as it was breaking day, the rain let up and so did the wind, so he decided to try it a while. He slipped in, Possumal style to a big old tree adjacent to a coyote freeway we hunt.  When it got light enough to see pretty well, he gave it two long, lonesome howls on his Cronk buffalo horn howler, waited a few minutes, gave a few barks, followed by one more long, lonesome howl.  About 5 minutes later, he spots this coyote slipping in along the edge of the Johnson grass that runs down the center of the pasture.  He got a good look at her through his Nikon Buckmaster, stopped her with a squeak or two at 225 yds, and planted a 53 grain Hornady superperformance right in her chest, DRT.  Pretty female, 44 lbs., well furred. I am glad to had the resolve and drive to go in spite of the weather, proving again you can't kill them at home.  Here is a picture of a hard earned female coyote. Kudos to son, Possumal Jr.

Sounds like a dedicated hunter.  Neither rain nor sleet nor hail shall keep the possumal from his appointed hunting.
