I went to Mississippi for the weekend so my wife could attend a wedding shower so I hooked up with with two of my old hunting buddies for a little predator hunting while I was there. I have no pictures to post yet because I did not have a camera but I took a couple with my buddies camera and he is going to email them. We got to our first stand Saturday afternoon and the first setup was on a small food plot in planted pines that were 30ft tall and open underneath them. I sat next to the call and put Lance in front of me and Richard watching a power line behind me.All I saw were crows so after 16 minutes I got up and we got together and it turns out that a coyote had trotted straight to Lance and as he moved to get on the coyote it turned and darted into the thicket, no shot.I should note here that we were using two DTechs(AKA as AR's in some circles) and a Savage predator so no shotguns.Next setup in the same plantation of pines but a 15minute walk deeper into them and a small opening of hardwoods. I call and the crows are so bad that you cannot hear the calls so I switch to pup distress and I see a coyote loping though the pines toward me and as I move to get the gun on him I see a black coyote farther to my right and I just forget about the one right in front of me and try to get on the black one and I spook the close one and it spooks the black one and they haul it out of there as I am barking trying to stop them,no shots fired again.Shooting running coyotes in those pines was like trying shoot through a picket fence.We decide to hit some big fields and things get better we did three more setups and call 3 coyotes and a bobcat and shoot two.Richard and I went again Sunday pm up at Canton,Ms and in four setups call up two more coyotes and Richard got both of them and one was a spectacular running shot. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gifI will add pictures later.
