Tj, you're whacking and stacking, congratulations "again".
WF, that could have been another coyote, but I couldn't be sure. Most of the time, deer just stand there but whatever it was disappeared after the shot.
These 2 males came into bait site last night. The smaller was at midnight, larger one showed up at 2:30 am. Big male is little rougher, but still pretty good.
We got busted on our calling stand last night. Had one coming on a string and then the dreaded cool feeling on the back of the neck. He winded us at 600 yds. and left with the after burners full power. That was disappointing. I hate it when the wind falls completely out and then starts varying.
When I got home, I decided to make a few howls to see if I heard anything. Got a response, but I was in the office and couldn't tell for sure which direction. I waited about 20 minutes and decided to scan the field. I saw this female coming up the field edge marking territory and all in a huff. She turned and came right up to the bait pile looking for the intruder. I gave her "The Finishing Touch" at 190 yds. with the Super Yoter.
