You ever been a trick shot artist in a Wild West show?Coyote or bobcat? I've been up close and personal with both. I was deer hunting both times, and set up on the ground. A bobcat caught the smell of the cover scent on my boots, and trailed me until it was within 40 yards. It spotted a blob (me), and stood there a good 5 minutes trying to figure out what I was. I'd bob my head, and it's ears would stand up and it's head would weave from side to side trying to figure me out. Since I wasn't hunting bobcat that day, and I was getting tired of holding my rifle on it, I eventually squalled at it and it flew out of there like it's tail was on fire! LOL!
I was hunting a cutover another year, and was set up on a little knoll with a logging road behind me. A coyote came down the road, just behind me and to my right. I'm right handed and didn't want to spook it as I turned to shoot, so I slowly put the butt of the 30-06 behind my back, stretched my left arm across in front of me as far as I could, and squeezed the trigger. The coyote was 20 feet from me when I fired. It never knew knew I was there... or what hit it.
Just goes to show... you never know what you'll encounter when you're in the wild.![]()
Hmm... I think a little update is in order. After realizing how disappointed I was in not being able to join the HAL, and after I had reminded her of our conversation of the event, she decided to give me the go-ahead. But by the time this happened, I was so discouraged that I told her I was no longer interested in participating... and that she was right, we have too many chicks already. At this point she insisted that I go get some eggs, on one condition... not 18 eggs like the last time. I said of course not, only a dozen this time. She gave me that sideways look that always means I'm pushing the envelope, so I dropped it to half a dozen.Sorry to hear you won't be joining us in the Hal, Ur. But good job on holding your ground on the compromise!![]()
My better half just smiles and waves her Visa card at me when we have those 'discussions'![]()

Sooooooooo... it looks like I'll be on board after all! Yippee!!!!e
I'm always griping on here about them....problem is that are in the U.P. The whole population of the upper peninsula is less than 300k....that's not even a major city. So as long as they are up here we don't have a prayer....as soon as they show up below the bridge and start killing their dogs maybe they'll do something.Wolves are terror and need to be shot on sight. I see a lot of dogs and livestock from your state ripped to shreds. It takes active voters to get them delisted there. Oh, and I won't tell!!!! SSS
Not a trick shooter... but a pretty decent shot. LOL! In fact, the first deer I ever killed was in the same fashion as the coyote. The deer came up from behind and to my right. The gun was behind my back when I shot it, too.You ever been a trick shot artist in a Wild West show?
I was talking about coyote, but I've never seen but one bobcat, either; headlights picked it up on a curve in a NJ road, sitting in the weeds.
Let the games begin!!!Yay!!!!![]()
