Did he get to shoot the coyote?
While calling coyotes, I had a bobcat sneak up and pounce on my foot. I can still see the deep scratches in the leather on that boot.
Sittin' in a brush pile calling turkeys when a lone coyote came all the way across the open field and sat down about 40 yards in front of me. Knowing this was to far for my turkey loads to humanely take him out I waited for him to come closer. What I didn't know was he was waiting for me to come closer. While he sat, easily seen in the wide open, one of his buddies or his mate, jumped into the brush pile from behind in an attempt to "drive" the "turkey" to the "stander". Seemed to be something they had done before. Between the confusion and the swearing, nobody got hurt.
Attacked by dogs while turkey hunting. 2 dogs attacked. 1 survived with a load of #4 from a 20 ga at close range.
Somebody better start a coyote defense gun thread.
I don't doubt it. The darned magpies do that around here. Every once in a while a hawk will come to my crying rabbit call too. I just take it that I'm doing things right.Sitting in tall dry weeds, I started working the call.
a group of turkeys marched out of the tree line and orbited around me, making more noise than I.
