-
If I didn't luv ya so much I'd be jealous :D
Like I said before, you ever start a class, I get to be first.
Way to go bro, very, very happy for you. Beautiful deer and great job at taking one of the hardest animals to take in our part of the country....never even gotten an arrow off at a coyote with a stickbow. Well deserved praise for a fine hunter and even finer man....
-
Well again,thank you for the amazingly kind words...it's great to know I have such good friends here...you guys are the best!!!
......One of those days....I just knew if spent enough time in this spot(not a lot of deer in this area,but a great funnel)I would see a nice buck.....First spotted movement...see the coyote coming...he closes....I lip squeak...she stops (6yds)as I draw...she sees me and tries to go....not quite quick enough...I instantly see blood and she tumbles to rest about 60yds away!! What a great feeling to get the yote,my second ever......
....about an hour later...my patience pays off...a good buck coming thru my funnel...he comes right to me and I make one of the most difficult shots I've ever made....all of 3 yds from my tree.....awkward and straight down!!
One lung...but I knew I had him!!!! I had to sit down,I was a mess!!!
For someone who asked....I was shooting my Kempf Kwyk Styk(I've recently re-named "Timex"),62@28,Carbonwood 4000's 29",100gr steel adapters and big 160 Snuffers.
I skinned the yote and as usual checked out the damage.Pulled out the heart to see I cut the bottom of it.But was very suprised to see this...

I had another double in '97....red fox and a spike.....

Very short version of what went down.....Thanks Again :notworthy:
-
no way heartworm?
-
Curt you are have a great year!!! Great shooting and thanks for sharing with us.
James
-
Thanks for sharing Curt.Do you think heartworm would eventually kill the coyote?I never would of thunk it?heartworm in a yote.I guess it makes sense,isn't heartworm spread by mosquitos?.sorry to ramble and again congrats on the fine double.
John
-
It does make sense....I guess....someone at work said it's probably pretty common with wild canines.....just like dogs that are out in the field a lot...but most dogs get treated for it...obviously the yotes don't...so maybe it is something that a lot of wild canines have....things like this are why wild critters usually have a short life expectancy....never really thought about it till I looked at the Snuffer damage......wild animals never cease to amaze me......
-
Guru,
Congrats! Great shot on the yote. dino
-
Great job, Curt, and I love that last pic (of the three of you). I guess when you compare that heart worm shot with some of the pics of HW infestation you see in Vet's Offices , it is a pretty mild case. Those pics show balls of them as big as softballs! Yep, they gotta git bit by skeeters out there in the wild - with no preventive medecine like (most of) our domestic canines get. I'd never thought about it either.
-
Was trying to think of the term a mountain man would use for the worm pic and I think I got it... yucky!!! :scared:
-
That's some nasty looking heartworm in that coyote, Curt. :scared: :eek:
Other than that, though, seems to me like you took some fine representatives of our local NY fuana. Great job, man! :D
-
Charlie, just like in all of your stories, you are the master of putting into words what all of us feel.. :p
-
Curt,
As always you are a great at tell us your hunting tales and at coming through in the clutch. You have enjoyed a great season. Good things come to good people.
Chris
-

Sergio

-
Way to get it done ...Congrats on the double.. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Blacktail opens here this weekend and I hope to do as well... :archer:
-
WOW CURT,you are a STUD HUNTER.i wanted to move to montana again but ny is looking good.SO,whats getting mounted.it would be neet to see that yote on the wall.it really shows that when you put time in the woods it really pays off.and some times more ways than one.good job curt.john
-
Thanks again guys.....your kind words mean more to me than you know......
Serg, I don't know about "out shooting you",but I'm looking forward to shooting with ya! Hopefully I'll see ya soon....
Bill, Good Luck bro,knowing you,I'm sure you'll do fine!
Chaser, "what's getting mounted"....I know the coyote will get tanned and hung with pride in "MY ROOM"....not sure yet about the buck as I have others to get caught up on,but he's got such cool markings on his snout,hmmmmmm.....
-
LOL...yucky, now thats funny!!!
Guru, ya best get your hammer out and build on to the house because you know deep down your going to mount this deer.
now that you have done a ot-topsy (SP) on your yote I feel compelled I have to do the same on some this winter. thanks alot pal because as charlie says, Yuck!! :mad:

brian
PS now would you get out from behind the computer and go kill something for crying out loud :notworthy: :notworthy:
-
Fantastic man! Congrats!
One day I'll come out of the stone age and my computer will download pics at a rate greater than one pic per hour. Whan it does I'l be better able to follow along on the picture threads. CK
-
Curt, Congrats on the great deer and the coyote.
-
What a great double. It would take a lot of resolve to stay seated in that tree with the yote down, I would have wanted to go check him out right away.
-
props dude what a day in the woods, i bet you didn't want it to end.
-
Nice buck and coyote, congratulations.
-
Kojac, When I get caught up on the others,I'll be thinking about doing this one for sure! Cape's in the freezer....
Thanks again fellas...
