Orange Phase

[AdrianJHare]

This morning we started out up in the higher grounds but the wind was nasty so we drove back down into the lower areas I hunt and have taken 4 other yotes this week and drove looking at tracks. Seems there is a number of tracks heading to this one woods but no permission.

Its 10;30 am a little late for my liking but I decided to head down a long lane in a horse stables that had the woods behind it and ask permission. I heard a few howling yesterday there too, so I get there and knock and the owner comes to the door and I tell him who I am where i'm from and what I am after. He says YES they are running all over here so we thought of trying a late set and headed back across the field to the woods and got setup on the edge of 2 feilds that jioned the same woods and set the caller and mojo out 40 yards from the fence row to the left just up wind of us and about 100 yards from the woods.

I started with the Cottontail Dst for 2 minutes on volume 24. About the 1.50 seconds I look up the row and theres a orange dog standing looking at 50 yards with a little srub brush between us. I moved slow onto him and set the hairs of the scope and he looks as he is only 40 yards from the caller and critter that he's done. I picked a hole and took the shot and down he goes. Perry and I had a great time this morning and am going to target the same area tomorrow too.
