CC and I decided since we did well yesterday, then we should try again today at another farm I hunt. We started out at daylight and made 4 dry stands. It was one of those mornings that you feel like you should call up something on every stand. Stand number 5 was the magic stand this morning.
We were walking towards our next stand and seen a persimmon tree just loaded down and persimmons every where on the ground. Earlier that morning we seen some scat that was loaded with persimmon seeds, so we thought there maybe one hiding close by this food source. So we setup about 50 yards from the tree watching into the hardwoods. I had CC watching down into this deep holler, that was where I figured the coyote would come. Right up that draw and sneak in behind us, but that wasn't the case.
I started the stand out with a grey fox pup in distress for a couple of minutes. Then I switched over to coyote pup distress. It wasn't but about 7 minutes in I heard CC sound off again. The coyote had come up the finger ridge instead of coming in from below. Another BIG coyote off of this property, I would guess this coyote weighed in around 45-50 pounds. I am going to have to get me a scale to carry with me. Here are the hero shots.

You can tell in this picture that CC is right on target.
