[ohiobob]

OK
Here is the story and all the names WILL NOT be changed to protect the innocent!

Me and bnccont decided to go coyote hunting last Saturday April 28th.
So i wake up and it is raining pretty good BUT i thought what the hell,,i have good rain gear so i gathered all my stuff up(which seemed to take 2 hours) and loaded the truck,, i roll into Bills house about 7:45 and he showed me some nice calls he is making on his lathe and then he even gave me one! thanks again Bill
we get out to the first stand about 8:30 i guess and set up and Bill starts calling with his distress call and we called for about 25 to 30 minutes with nothing getting suckered in so we meet up and Bill says he wants to walk up a high wall and try to call a yote in up on top because on a previous Hunt we called the bottom with no takers,anyway we trudge up the high wall and what seemed like 4 hours and 3 miles later we finally walk the 150 yards up the "hill"
Me and Bill stand there getting or wind back and talk strategy and believe me we sucked air more than we talked when something made me turn to my left and i seen a DARK(Black) Bushy body and tail walk through a little break :shck: where 2 small hills met at the bottom of the flat we were standing on,well i thought to my self; self what the hell did i just see? was it a coyote? nah couldnt have been because we were just down there and everyone KNOWS coyotes are smarter than that,so i tell Bill what i just saw and told him it must have been someones German Shepard but Bill said "no way" and about 3 minutes after that Bill said THERE HE IS!!! and i wheeled around to see this Black yote lopeing back from where we just were calling about 10 minutes earlier
Now i have to explain that i have NEVER had scope covers out of my truck but the ones that came with my Burris scope are real small and i didnt relize i had them until we went to the first stand and when we left the first stand i thought well its wet out so i may as well put them on while on our way to stand #2,,needless to say when the yote was loping i forgot i had them on and had to "rip" them off my scope,so i shouldered the Bushmaster Predator and got on the yote and while i was ripping the scope covers off Bill grabbed his call from around his neck and started calling on it
so me being the idiot rookie i am i thought the yote was going to stop because he was slowing down so i was getting the crosshairs back on the yotes siide because like i said he WAS going to stop and i didnt NEED to lead him if he was stopped right?
well it took me a second or two to realize the yote wasnt stopping and matter of fact he was speeding up and i pulled the trigger and when i was in mid "pull" of the trigger "ole" buddy Bill hit my arm because he was mad that i beat him to the draw ,,lol,,i guess i wasnt meant to shoot the yote
Nah Bill didnt bump my arm i just needed an excuse for NOT re-leading the yote when he sped up his pace,when we walked it off i figured it was about a 225 yards and when i shot Bill seen the bullet hit right behind the yote,,i was dead on for the distance  but since i didnt take the damn crosshairs off his side and put them out on his nose i shot behind him,,i just smiled BUT ever since i started looking at other peoples pics of their coyotes i thought i would LOVE to shoot a Black ypte or a Blonde yote and now i will probably never see another Black yote as long as i live BUT i am going to keep trying!!!
Me and Bill figured that when we was down at the 1st stand calling the Black coyote was coming to the sound
(and then again maybe not) and we must have not given the 1st stand enough time and while he was working his way in we did a semi circle around the coyote and we cut him off which was when i saw the coyote the first time,then the ONLY THING that i can figure is we went to the area where we were first and didnt see,hear or smell the
"rabbit in distress" so he back tracked because he thought it was safe,,like deer do and when he did he walked out in front of us,,from where he went in the woods when i saw him the first time and where he came back out of the SAME woods was like 25 yards apart so he MUST have figured it was still safe so he crossed an OPEN field again!
But it was a FUN day and it must have been a weird day because after the Black coyote fiasco we went out the road and mase 1 last stand because my youngest boy was coming for the weekend so we go out to the last place and we decide to use my FX5 on this stand and i gave Bill my AR-15 and i used his 12 gauge pump,i walked over and put the FoxPro up in a tree about 2 feet off the ground and i let things settle for about 10 minutes to let things settle down,so i decided to use the mad rabbit and i let it run for about 10 minutes,and while it was playing i THOUGHT i heard a sound behind me BUT i figured since the place i was sitting had "NATURAL" funnels with me in the middle and a steep bank on my left and Bill on my right so i knew whatever it was would have to walk right past me ,so i stopped the mad rabbit and listened for 10 more minutes and decided to try the baby cottontail distress so when i started the caller it ran for maybe 1 or 2 minutes and i heard something running down the path right next to me and im ready and all i see is a flash of brown ONLY 2 feet away from me hauling the mail and when i seen what it was i smiled again,,it was a full grown rabbit and it ran within 3 feet of the FX5 and stared at it so i turned the sound off and after 3-5 minutes the rabbit left,when i turned the call back on the rabbit came back but not as close this time and eventually left
I thought to myself that the FoxPro baby cottontail must be a good one if it tricked a full grown rabbit to run within 3 feet of the caller,,i wonder what the hell that full grown rabbit was thinking? i figured it would run the OTHER direction so it didnt get messed up like the baby cottontail,,the full grown rabbit would have pissed himself if there would have been a coyote chewing on the baby rabbit
But all in all i had a very good,,funny but good experience and i will keep after them and i just hope that my luck will change on the next one
and at the end of the last stand i decided to hit the crow sounds to show Bill how they come,,and within 1 minute they showed up so come June when crow season comes back in me and Bill will be blasting some crows because i LOVE shooting those no good sky bandits

[ohiobob]

Hey guys
while i was typing the story and i looked at it,, it wouldnt send and then i figured out why,,it said up top that 4 people have responded while i was typing it,,lol,,i didnt figure a bone headed stunt would have such a big response
and Bill,,i left out the part where you threw my Bushmaster down and STOMPED the scope into the mud when i had my back turned,,,sheesh ya didnt think i seen that when i was taking a leak did ya Bill
it was fun day and then like i said it was a "WEIRD" day,,hell even the Cleveland Browns had a good day at the draft,about time too because i was ready to become a Steeler fan,,NO WAY!!! NOTHING could be bad enough to root for the Pittsburgh Squeelers :roflmao:
Bob

[Bills Custom Calls]

Bob I will go along with most of the story.The only thing I disagree with is the firearm abuseI would never do that

You are right I had a great time Saturday and hope to have many more similar times like this one


Bill

[HaMeR]

I knew that Bill was a rascal when I met him!!   Bumpin a mans arm cuz he got the draw 1st.   Shame on you Bill!!!!!


:roflmao:

You'll get another opportunity Bob. Just hang in there. Neat story. Makes you wonder how many times a yote showed up after you got up & left what you felt was a good stand huh?  Keep callin!! You'll get more shots.

[coyotehunter_1]

Sounds like you two had a most excellent adventure. That's what it's all about. 


I've missed a few in my time, that's just part of hunting, don't give up. That black coyote will still be in the area. 

[DirtyDog]

I would just love the opportunity to miss.
