Hey guys, Yesterday late morning got out to woods about ten o'clock looking for a lonely tom. Walked ridge and was almost to my spot where I was going to set up and he hammered off below me about 125 yards. I set up and made three soft yelps and he double gobbled. I was pumped, next thing I knew he was walking up trail right to me where I thought he would. He would walk ten yards and gobble, pause walk another ten and gobble. He got to within 40 yards and I figured when he walked by this big tree I would take him. I was actually smiling because it was working out perfectly. Next thing I know a coyote comes running in from my right and bird took off flying. Needless to say I said a few choice words I can't repeat. I had my 20 gauge so it was a little out of range. Still after them hard though. Scoot
Was that yote in range. I'd of fed him a happy meal of Win 6's.
That stinks Scott! I hope you have better luck today bud.
THAT SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!! I had the same thing happen a few years ago to me...it just wasn't that ol' toms day to meet his maker....stay after him man.
Hate that for ya. I've piled up three this season from the same farm. I figure if the yote is gonna ruin my day, the least i can do is return th favor.
Stay after em,
Clint
I had a similar thing happen to me one year. As soon as the birds hit the ground a coyote came running in to my decoy. It wasn't his lucky day. :fud:
Good Luck with the birds, and the coyotes.
I hope the coyote gets a little closer to you the next time he spoils your hunt.
