Went out to a Ranch in Ono,Ca today with ol' Smokeball. weather is great cloudy cool and no wind can't be more than 50 today.
Made our 1st set up over looking a wide valley that has a creek in the bottom and lots of oak trees.No rabbit distress today I was thinking its getting around that time of year when they start pairing up so howls and whimpers was the theme.
Immediately upon female inv. we had what sounded like a pair off to the East of us down in the creek bottom.
I then played a pair yip howls on the Fox Pro...that did it sounded like at least 6 maybe more and they were everywhere.After a couple more howls we sat quiet for a few mins. then I played fawn dis. nothing was moving even though we knew they were out there.
Now after all that and sitting there with nothing moving I decided to play something I have never played at this particular ranch......kitten dis. after only 1-2 mins here come a good sized male chargin up out of the bottom to the North heading straight for Mojo. He dropped out of sight for a min then popped up out the the wash....He was appx 150 when I shut caller off and he came a few more strides and stopped on his own.....I lit him up with a 105 amax he dropped right there. When I got to him bullet ripped a huge hole right at the last rib no exit, He was a slushy.

We went to the East all the way down near where the others were howling down in the Eastern bottom but they didn't wanna play. so 2 sets 1 coyote.
Put hole down cause it was a nasty gory crater gotta keep PETA happy.
Smokeball never saw this guy come in he had a big oak right in the way or he said he woulda shot it out from under me.....I don't think he coulda hit it he's just talking smak.

Neat area there. Good job on the coyote. :good:
You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

Excellent report and great pictures of a nice dog!
