Title: 4 stands this morning....
Post by: Arkyyoter on January 19, 2008, 09:57:48 PM
Ran up and got with Greg this morning for 4 stands...had to get back home so we made it quick. I met Greg at Ft Smith and we drove over near Spiro, OK

First stand we get a double coming quick....I didn't see the lead coyote and was watching the other one at about 150 yards...about that time I see one come out of a low area 50 - 60 yards to my left......he is zeroed on the decoy and ain't stopping. Just about the time I am going to pull the trigger, he stutter-steps, throwing my swing out of sync, as I reacquire my sight picture and begin the squeeze, he starts hard forward again....shot takes him about 4 inches too far behind the forleg. He makes about a 200 yard run and piles up. The other coyote gets away.

The second and third stand are dry. On the fourth stand we call up a cat. He is in a blackberry thicket and tough to see. Greg makes an excellent head shot at about 50 -60 yards, cat is drt.

It was a fun morning with good company....


The OPHA is hard to read, but it is on the back of a Sonic sack......class eh???

The guys on the OK site are having a little pre-hunt, hunt for fun.....that is why the Sonic Sack.....

Thanks guys.....no Sir, not my home. That is my friend's in laws place... There are two cabins there, one of which was a stage coach stop in the 1840s...they numbered the pieces, took them apart and reassembled them on their property...they are really neat!!!
