In front of my house,where I have lived for 30 years,There are 750 acres of rice fields.I have been going up against this bunch of coyotes the whole time I have lived here.I cant tell you how well they know me ,and are extremely good at reducing the big head,After a good trip out west.They have heard every cassette,C D and mouth caller you can dream up.
Friday night I did surgery on a yelper that was made for getting turkeys to shock gobble.After playing with it till midnight,to get that special sound I was looking for,I went to bed.Saturday morning I had my plan,This was plan #64734.I can rarely hunt alone because of my leg problems,But I did not need any more witnesses to what this bunch can do to me.Just 250 yards from my front door,I got off my scoot and crawled over a big leve.Rice fields are full of levees,and the coyotes use them to there full advantage.They usually stay behind them.when coming to a call.
Now for plan #64734.With my new secret weapon,I let out two challenge barks.It was cold and still.After five minutes,I went in to my best ka-ya.Now according to this plan they were supposed to come from the West,(yell right).After thirty long,disappointing minutes,Nothing.I sat there silently for five minutes working on plan #64735.Out of the south comes a big old dog,Swinging his head side to side.he looked like he was thinking,Am I going to be the whipper or the whipe.He broke all the rules,and climbed up on the levee,About 60 yrds away.He saw me raise the .243,and decided to put a couple of levees between us.He just about made it,when the 75 gr V-MAX caught up with his back rib.
Sorry this was so long,But going up against this bunch is like working on a PH.D.,And I don't have to many credits from this school.
