92xj Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Since I can not figure out where the heck this should go, it shall be placed here in the Lounge for your enjoyment. I went out for a duck hunt this morning and got a little sidetracked with what it was I was hunting. Not a bad morning at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerforged Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Now that is what I call a great Harvest! That is one healthy looking yote right there, those cottontails will make a nice dinner for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Pretty cool. I had a day like that a few years ago. Took the day off to go rabbit hunting with a buddy, but he doesn't start until 9 or so, so I bowhunted first. I shot an 8 pt buck that morning, then shot a couple rabbits with my buddy, took them home and started caping out my buck, as I was doing that a pheasant flew into my yard, so I loaded the gun and walked to where he landed, 2 minutes later I shot him completing the trifecta for the day.

92xj Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Ok, so the coyote does not have a single hole from any weapon I have or anyone else has. It did not die of a gun shot, arrow or any other projectile throwing deivce a hunter would have. I watched this animal die in front of me. You all should try and guess what killed it. Its rather large and humorous and it's not the obvious like a car or truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unioncountyslayer Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Man, that's awesome! Can't wait to hear the coyote story. My cousin sent me a picture of a dead doe a few weeks ago that he literally scared to death. He walked up on her and she tried to jump a barbed wire fence and fell over and broke her neck.

I was hunting a .5 acre frozen pond with a hole big enough for a dozen dekes, no boats to be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 While I was stalking up on the rabbits, this yote ran out from the bushes the rabbits were in, crossed in front of me at 40 yards, ran up the gravel mount that was holding railroad tracks, as he reaches the top and is about to drop off the other side, a dang train nails the sucker. Yep, a train. This track is run at least 10 times a day and you would figure wild animals would get out of the way, but not this guy. I laughed.

Tominator Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Must have just clipped him. He looks to be in pretty good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 It did. Hit him in the rear. I skinned him out fully and took it to the taxidermist to tan. There were no holes anywhere in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Cool story Ben. I had a road-kill doe given to me one time by a police officer, and when I cleaned it out, it was the cleanest kill I had ever seen. She got clipped right in the nose.

It was amazing how clean this thing was considering he had just been hit by a train traveling 50+mph. Only thing I could find was a small cut on a rear foot and the hip broken. No blood, cuts or anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Stuff like that doesn't happen to normal people ya know. LOL Is that skull froma coues deer? Hey Ben I went on my first ever duck hunt last Sunday. Saw about 100 ducks, but only had one group come in to shooting range. I got my first duck (Mallard hen). It was a different kind of hunting, but a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the coues deer, but a cows deer skull. That awesome that you went on your first hunt. Its almost a blessing your first one wasnt a limit hunt in 30 minutes because if it was, your hunting expense would have increased insanely over the next year. Congrats on your first one, I still remember mine from 12 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
