Too Patient

A week or so back I went out to a newish spot, set up facing northeast, wind light from the south, caller out about 80 yards.

I sent out a few howls & waited, then finally glanced over my left shoulder & spotted a pair on the way.

Seemed like they were committed so I swung the tripod around, and plopped it on the ground hard enough to set the Foxbang off...dammit!

Got that shut off, & got the video started.

Then they decided to make a big circle around the top of the hill, & eventually started down the hill towards the caller.

After they ducked in the woods, I never saw them again.

Didn't want to shoot in the beginning, there were cattle just over the hill.

When they swung around the top of the hill, they were at 270, but I figured they were headed for the caller.

Interesting, 1 took a dump, the other pissed on it, then they repeated it a couple minutes later.

At least they didn't get educated, & hopefully I get back out there 1 more time this year.

 
Been there, done that. Looks like they marked the place up pretty well (3 times by my count).
Also looked like that back coyote might have called if the other didn't lead it off.
When they're taking a dump is a good time to shoot them. You know they're not going to move for a little while.

I'm not sure exactly what the 2nd one did, but both certainly lightened their load more than once.

For me, I get the satisfaction of duping them to the call.

With the wind in my favor, I never considered they wouldn't commit to the call.

And of course I was hoping for a double, but go home with a goose egg.....:(

I hesitated whether to post the video, as everyone like to see the kill shots, but it gives us a chance to critique when things go awry.

And tomorrow is another night-if it gets above freezing and you get out from under the blanket and put the tv remote down :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:.
Sorry Al, couldn't pass on the opportunity. ;)

Touche'.....

Good chance the easy chair will get a reprieve tonight, lows around 20 with light wind.

Might get a couple sets in while it's still in the 20's.🥶🥶🥶
