Guest guess Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 just about the time I decide to let the predators rest for a while ,they come crawling out of the wood work! With the end of turkey season coming in two days,we were really concentrating on the gobblers,but they weren't having any of what we were wanting to dish out! On the first stand of the day we called in a coyote while calling turkeys, I like to really make sure the ones that like turkeys die,but as fate would have it this one wouldn't come into shotgun range,well not within a turkey load range anyway So we moved on.We never heard or saw a turkey all day long and as the evening approached the already bad mosquitoes were getting worse by the minute,they would drag us ten feet back for every two we walked! MISERABLE ! We decided to move to a pecan grove and see if we could get a bird to gobble,we had just about got there when I spotted a coyote a couple hundred yards out.I killed the truck we got out and moved quickly to a tree about 40 yards in front of the truck and I started blowing a call made for me by a fellow that goes by huntncarve ,the coyote turned on a dime and headed our way,it didn't seem to matter that the truck was right behind us! Michelle shot the coyote at about 60 yards and the 95 grain AccuTip did its job! We decided to move on to another spot but it was a little late to call turkeys so we decided to just call predators and see if any turkeys gobbled on their way to the roost ! I had just picked up an old ruger .243 so old it has the flat bolt instead of the round one,I checked it earlier in the day and it shot a 3/4 inch group at 100 yards with an old weaver scope on it ,probably the first one ever mounted on it! I told Michelle I was going to shoot if one came in on my side,we sat down ,hadn't turned the camera on ,adjusted our shooting sticks or anything ,when I look up and see a coyote headed our way! I told Michelle to get ready turned on the camera and lip squeaked him all the way in! She dropped him at about 40 yards! Boy did the turkeys ever gobble ,and another coyote howled ! I called to the turkeys a few times ,they were already roosted.We decided to do a little more calling from right where we were and come back in the morning for the gobblers. I started blowing my screamin demon with Michelle running the camera I had one blind spot through a piece of old metal framing and wood.I raised up just a bit so I could see through it and there stood a critter. At first I thought it was a coyote and I had been busted ,but as I looked through the scope I could see it was a cat. We tried for ever to get it to move just a little for a clear shot,but no dice! I told Michelle I was going to try and squeeze a shot through a 2 inch opening ,but I clipped a board and the cat was still standing there,so I inched over a couple of feet real quick and took another shot striking the cat in the chest at about 80 yards ! what an evening considering we were turkey hunting!
