mikewink Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I got out of work tonight and headed to the woods! Because of the wind I decided to dig into an improvised ground blind I whipped together out of some cedar bows and a couple downed trees. I pushed up close to the swamp 50 yards from the corn. I hadn't even sat down yet when the first deer appeared. A little 6 pointer. He came into 30 yards then moved off. I saw several other deer thru out the night but, none would come out of the swamp. I knew it wasn't me because they where hanging up 50 yards farther back and up wind from me. Right about 6 oclock some turkeys came thru at about 40 yards and roosted between me and the corn. Just as the turkeys started to roost I heard a snap to my left. I caught movement to my left and this guy stepped out at 20 yards. At 5 yards he felt the sting of my Thunderhead 100. He let out a yelp and ran about 12 yards, then piled up. I was watching him when I heard another sound and here came a second one, down the same trail. The second one got a face full of Thunderhead at about 3 steps. The second one took off. I don't think she made it far! But, I didn't have my flash light and by the time I gathered up the first one and packed up it was too late to wade into the dark cedar swamp. I'm heading out first thing in the morning to get the second one. This is my first yote, can't ask for a better way to get one! A bow from the ground, and a double to top it off!:gun2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Too cool..Way to go. They were probably the reason the deer weren't coming out. Now that you got rid of 2, maybe your next deer hunt will be more successful. Good shootin!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 That is cool! Wish the coyotes would show up like that around here. I hear them, but never see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA_Spike_King Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Great job there man on both of those song dogs. My Dad shot one 2 years ago with his 7mm mag and blew a big hole right through it and it went 60 yards before dying so they can be tuff to kill. Congrats again Mike.
