I was able to make a few stands this morning. I didnt shoot a coyote today but it was still a good day all around! My first stand was a bust. I sat down, got situated and waited a couple mins before starting off with DSG cottontail on vol. 6. 30 seconds in and i get barked at from 300+ yards out. I called for about 5 minutes and packed up. My second stand is this picture. I had one coming down the fence line that winded me at about 150 yards, right at the creek. He turned and bolted up the creek bed to the right before I had a chance to shoot. I was planning on stopping it just my side of the creek. Oh well, the view was worth the stand alone!

My next stand I had one hang up in the middle of some cattle 300+ yards away. No shot, I'll get it another day. Watching the coyote mouse after 15 minutes...

On the way back to the car I jumped one down below me. It hit another creek bottom and was outta sight before I get get on it.
Good day still just getting out!
Happy Hunting
