Went out again last night & made two sets. 1st was at the CF crime scene from a couple weeks ago. The wind was right & I figured the remaining corn will be take out shortly. Zippo.
Went to the 2nd spot where they had taken the beans out a while back, leaving strips of corn. Good thing I didn't wait any longer, as they had started to pick the remainder. Light breeze out of the SW, facing north, with me sitting with my back to the standing corn in the shade from the bright moon. Caller was 75 yards to the NW in the open bean field, half way to the 1st strip of standing corn bordering the woods.
Started out with a lonely howl, & got an immediate response. I answered, & we had a little back & forth, the last sounding like it was coming from end of the woods, so I went quiet.
It took several minutes and she finally exited the corn heading left. I let out a whistle & she stopped, I shot, & down she went.
Finally, no flopping, no running, no tracking. 175 yards, dead center through the shoulders. Adult female.
