First Kill

Hello, I am new to the board and to calling predators. I have shot a few coyotes and a bobcat in my days sitting in the deer stand. Well centexslim (another PM member that I work with) has been rambling on and on about how much fun it was to call in yotes. So I decided to give it a try. Well if you read the first post from Centexslim on the night calling page http://www.predatormastersforums.com/ubb...page=0#52173310
then you know that our first hunt we saw a bunch of yotes but I was unable to take a shot. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

So last night I decided to try calling behind my house. I took my "Johnny Stewart open reed coyote dog howler cyc-1" and my JS pc-7. I am new to calling so normally I only use the pc-7 but I wanted to try the open reed call. I did the best I could with it and with 10 minutes I had a red fox checking me out about 20 yards away. He kinda surprised me because he came from almost behind me. I was hunting a cross wind with the sun going down to my back. Anyway so I moved over to take the shot and let him get a little farther away. He would take a few steps and then look at me. Finally I got the gun around and got the cross hairs on him. I barked and he stopped dead in his tracks. I pulled the trigger and dropped him dead. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Ok that is all it took now I am hooked to another form of hunting. This reminds me of duck and turkey hunting. I really enjoy calling animals in instead of just waiting for them to walk by.


I have enjoyed reading lots of the posts.

Welcome aboard...as you have seen the folks here are great, and they are very knowlegable and willing to help and guide...Great story of the hunt...keep after it and pics if you can.

Again welcome
 
im the same way greenhead, i had gotten hooked on duck hunting just because you are calling them in and i loved that challenge, and then i started reading about predator hunting in magazines and stuff. then on mornin i was deer hunting and i took a rabbit squealer with me and i saw a fox chasing a rabbit across the field i was hunting. so i started calling and seen him come up behind my stand about 75 yards. on shot and one kill was all it took, and now i predator hunt more then any other kind of hunting.
