Went out after work

Ok heres how it went,

Got home form work and changed clothes, threw the gear into the car and headed out. My first chouce of stand was a bust. Most of the field where I wanted to hunt was under about a foot of water. No go there so I figure no bigge head to my other spot on the high ground. Walked around the back water and find that the corn is still up. OH boy, I knew I should have brought the shotgun, well no biggie either I have a couple more spots that I can go to. Get back to the car and head off for a 15 mile trip get to my other spot. I get there and unload my gear back out of the car. Start walking to my spot. Its a sweet little set up nice hill over looking a junction of three low lying areas. Have lots of sighn there so I know exectally where to go. Nice old farm equipment path leads back to where I want to go. so I walk for about a quarter mile get all set up wait about 5 minutes and tun on my spot start calling and wouldnt you know it....FOG.. and I dont mean just a little fog I mean a fog that was so thick my light force turend everyting around me blood red. SO I figured I can thunt in this. I start walking back to the car. By the time I get there I am soaked to the bone. Kind of feel disguested but hey thats the way things go.

I get back home and just finsihsing putting everything away and what do I hear? You guesses it yotes howling out across the filed in an area I cant hunt. Man nights like tonight can really make a man turn to drinking

doh.. sorry that wasn't funny

Been there Slag...but I think your case is a little more intense cuz you got a brand new Lightforce Light your itchin to try out. I'd be mad too.......wait!....I take that back. I'd be drunk by now

Well I was impressed with the way the lightforce performed till the fog hit. Real clincher was hearing the yotes when I got home. BUT hey the season is stil young and theres always tomorrow night!!

And your right I am jsut itching to use my light

Your gonna love it, let me tell you that. Maybe I shouldn't rub it in....you'll be back out there tonight again.

Did you figure out how to adjust the beam...Grab a hold of the front lip and rotate the head?

slagmaker · October 17, 2006, 11:49:24 PM

If the fog lays I may, but the weather man says it is here till tomorrow moring late. SO maybe tomorrow night before the rain hits again.

Not sure how the rain is going to effect the yote movement tho. Hopefully it will have them moving around a bit.

You'll have to try and get permission from the adjoing landowner and see if he will let you call on his land. That might work.
