Title: Brad H and 5SHOTS make it out
Post by: Brad H on August 28, 2008, 11:27:36 PM
We make 9 stands today. Only called in two but both are dead. First stand at 9:30 am and after 15 minutes I shot a male that came in just exactly like I hoped.

Sixth stand the caller was 100 yards away from both of us. 5SHOTS (Art) was set up way down wind while I watched the foreground. After 16 or 17 minutes a coyote came in front and center out of the creek bottom. It didn't stand still long enough for me to get a shot so it was basically spoon fed to Art. Got it with his .17.

Nice job, Brad and Art!   Thanks for the pics!   :congrats:

Do ya think that Quiver Critter helped your setup any?  Or would the yotes have come in just the same without it?

"Spoon fed"  :hahaha: I lip squeaked 4 times and the coyote just looked at me and kept right on going each time  :argh: so I said HEY and he looked at me again and went another 30 feet then finally stopped with a WHAAAT! look on his face. Then he tipped over.  :whew:  :biggrin:

Brad, I thought you were going to get one with your pistol? I don't see one in the pictures.

Looks like you had fun.

"Quiver Critter", is that what that thing is called Semp? It's Art's dek but I set it out most of the time. That coyote stopped and looked that direction right in front of me. I'm pretty sure he saw the decoy but I think he would have acted the same had it not been there. I like it, but could take or leave it for the most part. Kind of a neat toy though.

I did have the pistol with me Jim. And that was in the plans but we didn't have the cover I wanted for something like that. There seemed to be enough coyotes in this open, sage draw country, (you know where we were) it wasn't worth changing geogrophy. That will be later in September when I try that.

I think in this instance it helped. :shrug: But I can picture a big bada$$ old coyote seeing that poor defenceless little rabbit quivering like it does and hanging up, thinking to itself "  :holdon: I ain't going near anything like that, its either got something I don't want, or it's on something.   :roflmao: :roflmao:
