Valuable lesson learned

[LORDDAL]

Well fellers I learned a valuable lesson today after working all night I decided I would go out for a while on the way home so I drove out to one of my favorite haunts. Had the ole 12 guage and my trusty double duce treerat zapper with me when on my way in I spotted a nice big yote standin on the hill side across a small pond I stopped and he just stood there watching me he was at about 70 yards so I figured he was a bit long for the shotgun so I grabed the 22 got a good rest layed the sights behind his shoulder and let fly with a good solid WHAP. Wiley flopped over right there flippin and floppin around I sat there for a minute trying to figure my way around and up to him and then loaded the ole 12 up and started his way. took me a few mins to get to the spot I had layed him down on and when I got there I found where he had thrashed around and some blood but alas no yote. the bugger had gotten back up and took off hell bent for leather into the heavy brush I searched for over an hour and couldnt find hide nor hair of him a real shame to as he was a big yote with nice full coat and bushytail would have made me one fine rug  so I learned that a yote hit a bit back of the shoulder with a 22 may hit the dirt it doesnt always mean hes going to stay that way. Course I also learnd that the next time I head back there I will hae my ar or sniper rifle with me then lets see him run off after the ole 30-06 has poked a hole in him any way had fun saw a few grouse Logan and I did get a grouse on Monday so seems that the huntin is startin to pick up around here finally.
