Well decided to go out tonight to the hog barns. Pulled in and was scanning and one of the helpers came down the lane to see what I was doing....he came in hot with lights on. After he seen it was me we drove back by the generator shed and parked. I figured with the commotion it would be a bust. Set my call up and hit a howl and not soon after hit a rabbit distress.
Scanned for a few minutes and seen opossum and a skunk wondering around close....then out of the woods a little over 200 yards out a coyote pops out and wonders around.
I lip squeak here and there and it's not real interested it seems but would stop and look at me.
I finally moved to a good steady rest and held second line on my reticle and zoomed up to 8x and let it fly. Heard the pop and seen it fall over. We walked out there and I shot it through the neck. Nice small dark female.
Seen 3 more in the field behind the other barns but they would stop for a few then keep on moving like they had somewhere to be.
Guy also told me kill any skunk as they are overrun and his dogs keep getting sprayed so I took out a skunk as well about 50 or 60 yards....it was close enough I could see bright white chunks fly out and into the air!
