A good night

Since we finally have some cooler weather I decided to go hunting last night.

Stand 1.

I set up facing North on the edge of a cut corn field, wood line to the East and West, a low finger that come out into the field directly in front of me. The farmer hasn't done anything to the field since he harvested the corn so a lot of the field has knee high waste corn. Put the call out about 50 yards in front of me facing Westward towards the wood line. The wind was coming out the North, so directly in my face. Started off with some Mrs. Cottontail. Within the first three minutes I picked up a coyote directly in front of me coming out of the finger pretty hard. Picked him up in the scope and waiting until he stopped. Took the shot about 75-100 yards. Bang, flop.

Decided to just keep running the call. Less than ten minutes later I look to my left and where was a coyote running away from my down the edge of the wood line. I guess it came out and was so close that it seen me in the bright moon. It took off across the field, couldn't get a shot.

Changed things up a bit and played a few vocals, a pack went off in the wood line to the Northwest. Tried a few more vocals, but they wouldn't come out of the woods. Switched the call to DenRaid and within two minutes the female came down the same path as the male. Followed her in the scope until she stopped for a shot. Bang/flop. Decided to pack up and leave the others alone.

This first picture is exactly how I found the pair in the field. I didn't touch them. I didn't realize that the last time the female stopped she was standing right beside the male.

Male - 34.84lbs
Female - 26.92lbs

Stand 2.

Another cut corn field. No action.

Stand 3.

I set up on the edge of a 15ac food plot to my left and a fresh cut over with a creek in the bottom to my right. The call facing directly away from me and the wind somewhat in my face. Started off this stand with Mrs. Cotttail also and within the first five minutes I turned around and there was already a coyote coming hard at 50 yards. I guess it was trying to get behind me to wind the call. It was pretty bright out and it seen me when I swung the rifle around on the tripod to get a shot. From the size of it I'm pretty sure it was a big male and he dove back into the thick stuff along the creek. I turned on a vocal (can't remember which) and a pack sounded off within 150 yards from me in the creek. The one that spooked must have went straight to them because they didn't bother coming out. However, they did circle the entire back of the 45ac property to get down down wind of me. I guess it eventually worked because two of them started bogger barking. This went on for over an hour. I was able to finally get one out to the edge of the plot, but before I could get everything zoomed in and focused, he stepped back into the woods.


Went home after that.
 
DRT'S. Man, That DDC and ARC combo is super nice as it sound more like an air rifle than a center fire. I haven't went yet because I hunt public land, and I always let the first couple weeks settle down before going. However, that changes tomorrow night after midnight!!

I love the short straight to the point videos!!

I’m really impressed with the Enticer. It’s super quiet with everything that I’ve tried it on so far. Also, the 6 arc is very nice suppressed. I’m definitely going to buy their 38 for my 350. Also probably buy another Enticer just to have. I need to buy a 6mm end cap to see if it makes any difference.

As for the videos. Man, I’m not into all the tech stuff. I just post it raw, no editing. LoL

Hell, I’m just glad that I remembered to hit record this time.

The action can happen so fast in the forest I have a hard remembering to hit record 98% of the time.

I emailed Brandon and told him that I was going to use the Enticer on my 243 AR 10 and asked if it's worth changing from a 30 cal to 5.56/6mm end cap and this was his reply:

Yes I’d definitely suggest switching to the 5.56-6MM end cap. We tested it on the STI switching on the end cap & shaved off 6dbs, so it’s worth it if you can do it.

PS; Not sure if you know this but he is a hunter too.
