Guest guess Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I had a melon farmer ask me to hunt his melon patches for him.So Michelle and I went and checked them out and did a little calling.We called up a coon right off the bat ,I shot him but he fell off into a ravine full of brush ,so I left him there! We then moved to another field to call! I was blowing the "Screamin' Demon" call .We were just about ready to give up when a coyote showed up,I dropped him at about 70 yards with my .243. We moved to another field and started calling again,when in comes another coon.I shot him at about 30 yards with an open sight .22 .We kept calling and saw eyes coming from a good ways off ,they moved down into a water hole and disappeared for a bit then turned back up bellow the water hole behind a couple of bales of hay{there was a fresh bailed hay field next to the melon patch}! At this time I was sure it was a coon but it stayed behind the bales for ever ,so I switched to my TTebbe squeaker and it came out then went right back! I still thought it was a coon! So I squalled with my mouth kind of like a coon or cat does ,man here it came on the run at about 40 yards I told Michelle,"it's a cat" she shot it with my ruger .243! we moved on down the field and started calling again .A few minutes into the call I noticed something moving in the edge of the melon patch about 200 yards out,so I switched to a brighter light! It was about 150 pound hog! He took off and Michelle fired a warning shot at him! I decided it was time to go ,but I looked around once more first and another coon was standing there! I shot it with the .22! looked around again and a skunk had wandered a bit too close! for some reason I couldn't get Michelle to pose with him! Go figure!
