Guess what.....?
I just called Butch and told him about us hunting his property out back. I told him where we setup and so on, and he told me where the den was within a square 100yds.
He said where we were at was okay, but that when he was in his stand this last year located in the field where Dennis was sitting, his stand was circled by 7 or 8 coyotes at once.
Butch ran a bow pro shop for several years (how I met him) and I knew he had his bow with him. I asked if he had his bow and he said, "yeah, I took a shot at one of them near some brush and missed". He said that they immediately ran down the treeline to his son's stand about 100yds west of him and congregated right under him.
I think they were so surprised or shocked that it startled them both.
The weather is perfect (other than being a little warm) this afternoon, sunny & no wind, so I'll be heading over.
Butch told me to hunt his "platform stand" which is pretty elevated and camo'd, so who knows.
Gotta wait till the kids get home from school, then off I go.
Perri.......nice that you got some snow.....wish we had a little now. I'm usually down in the "snow belt" from NYCoyote. But there has been times when they've had some & we didn't, or visa versa.
Wish me luck,
Bob
