what a rush

[coyotehunter]

MAN what a rush this morning. I bought a new fox pro just a couple weeks ago and so far have managed to call in 6 yotes with it. wish I could say I got all 6 but oh well. got number 2 this morning. went out 14 temp and clam here in mo. this morning and found this ridge field i went in on constanting checking the wind with my wind puffer as I went in. set up just across this big pond and placed my decoy ( wish i just bought this weekend at walmart ( a stuffed chipmuck gray with white paws and nose and bushy white tail ) set it right next to fox pro and set up a little cross down wind about 50 yrds from caller. after 20 mintutes into letting the fox pro run I spot one coyote then the second crossing a cedar cut about 120 yrds across from the pother side of pond. the way I was set up if anything came in he would have to cross the pond levy to my decoy or come up back side of woods into the open field. after spotting the 2 coyotes it took mabe another 5 to 7 mintues and wow here comes the first one in a dead run right for the levy never taking his eyes off the decoy till he gets right to the edge about 60 yrds away stopping to look back seeing his partner coming, he turns to come on across but that was his mistake. when he stoped to look back for his partner I had the hairs on him. oops partner got away. saw their was no chance so I didnt waste a shot hoping he might come back, but no such thing.
watching that coyote running in like that was really a rush. last year my first yr. I killed 7 and this is 3rd so far this season just starting last week. but this was the first ever I had rush in like that.
I wasn't sure if a stuffed animal not moving would have any effect but I,m going to sure try it some more. Just wish I didnt have to go to work tomorrow.
sorry I made this so long. I.m 54 but felt like 18 this morning lol ;D

Good Hunting,

Bob

If anyone ever asks why we hunt, I believe coyotehunter answers that in his post.

"I.m 54 but felt like 18 this morning lol "
