Scored in the snow

[coyote101]

A friend and I decided to try a couple of sets in the snow this morning. We set up just inside the woods, looking across a small stream towards some thick woods. I hung the caller in a small tree about forty yards away, got set and turned on a woodpecker distress.

Twenty or thirty seconds into the calling I caught movement off to my left. Here he came from the low ground, loping along, headed toward the caller. He stopped ten yards or so from the caller, and I gave him a load of T-shot from the old Mossberg 835. 

We took a few hero shots, tried a couple more sets with no success, and then headed home to watch Kentucky whoop Florida.

The view from where I shot. The caller is in the tree just above that little green arrow. The coyote is laying behind the trees, about forty yards away just to the right of the red arrow.


The end of a pretty long dry spell.

Good shooting Pat.  I just don't know about you guys that go out walking through all that white stuff.

The Mossberg 835 is the chuck Noris of shotguns
