Title: 1st winter stand
Post by: Silencer on January 06, 2009, 05:03:01 PM
I had the boys out rabbit hunt yesterday after school and I'm pissed about the coyote tracks in our rabbit patch !!!   Big front moving in and I figured  to try and take advantage of it so I got out and did some calling before dark.
Here's the scene...

Just beyond that big tree is a creek bed that runs to the point of the ridge.  I figured they would have worked up that creek bed. 

I started out by leaving my e-caller remote at home and using hand calls.  First couple series I blew were jack distress, then I went into a challenge howl and that ridge you can see in the background lit up. One loner kept challengin me back moving across from right to left,  thats why I shoulda been sittin at that point IMO.  I couldnt get him to commit and shoot right in.   

edited to add : the point i'm refering too is where the ridge hits the creek bed.

Felt good to get out and hear some, I dont care if I didnt score, IT JUST FELT GREAT !!!!!!

I dont have a hound, so I place the boys where I think/know they'll run and I stomp on the brush piles for them.  They had 2 misses before it got dark  :laf: 
I had a chance to get a nice broke/trained spayed female beagle for free but I couldnt get the wife to bite because of my lab is enough for the house already  :nono:
