4 second coyote stand

[linemansteve]

I would just like to say I had a great time at the LBL hunt. I 've got to meet more of the great guys who are on this forum. I followed weedwalker to the LBL on Wednesday and after unpacking I went for a afternoon hunt with frogman and had a great time Jim is a great guy to hunt with. Even though we did not see any coyotes in the area we hunted Jim told me they went back a few days later and got one there. Weedwalker and my self went out Friday in the rain to see if we could scare something up. We started high on the ridges and worked our way in to the bottoms with out much luck. We then moved to a old logging road that ran out on this ridge. We made a set about half way down and came up empty. We worked to the end of the ridge and it was very thick. Ed said he was going to set there with his shotgun, I was carrying my rifle and it was way to thick in that area for me so I told him I was going to move over on the side of the ridge to find a clear area to watch. I moved to edge and it was still thick so I went around and down the ridge to a small clearing and set up. Ed had told me to blow my rabbit call 4 times and he would start calling. I had just put the call down and I heard something behind me when I tuned my head there was two coyote's the closest at 6 feet from my left shoulder. He was skidding to a stop by his speed carried him by me and he made 2 small hops when I barked at him and he stopped  15 feet away, and he was in the cross-hairs. What Ed heard was the rabbit calls and seconds later my gunshot, he thought  I had dropped my gun and went off. The red X was my seat the blue line was the coyotes and blue X was the shot. I would also like to thank everyone who donated prizes to give aw and to Ed for showing me you can call in coyotes with mouth calls.   Thanks  Linemansteve

Very nice Steve. I wish I would have known who you were there. With that other bunch from another board there, I just assumed you were with them. I sure would have liked to talk with you. Too many folks to meet and not enough time. I reckon there's always next year.

Getting the story from you again Steve takes me right back there .  It was a real pleasure getting to chat with you on the ground at LBL.  I'm still in awe of you getting one with a rifle[on a bipod no less] in that closed i country .
