Similar thing happened to me a few years ago. I had my daughter in the blind with me during bow season. I believe she was 7 or 8 at the time.
We had 2 large does walking in and I told her that if one presents a shot, I was going to take one. Just before they entered the plot, the does lifted their heads and went on full alert. A few seconds later they boogied down the hill.
Abi asked me, "Did we do that?"
"No, they were looking up the hill, something else spooked them", I replied.
No sooner did I say that, a pack of coyotes ran past our blind at about 50 yards. They were howling, and cackling like coyotes do.
"What was that?" Abi asked
I said coyotes and at that moment I saw that same wide-eyed look Kevin. :jaw:
Abi asked about 50 questions in about 30 seconds but never asked to leave.
